Prof Anil Fernando is a professor in Video Coding and Communications at the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde. He leads the video coding and communication research team at Strathclyde. He has worked on major national and international multidisciplinary research projects and led most of them. His main research interests are in Video coding and communications, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), signal processing, networking and communications, interactive systems, resource optimizations, distributed technologies, media broadcasting, Quality of Experience (QoE) and intelligent systems. He has published over 350 papers in international journals and conference proceedings and published a book on 3D video broadcasting. He has successfully supervised over 56 PhDs and 30 research fellows. He has contributed to a large number of international research projects and coordinated few international and national projects . He has also led the technical coordination of many international and national projects. In this year, his team was part of commercialising a low cost rapid COVID-19 diagnostic portable device and its technology. He has been working with all major EU broadcasters, BBC, and major European media companies/SMEs in the last decade in providing innovative media technologies for British and EU citizens. Currently, he is involved in commercialising a technology for low cost rapid diagnostic system for farm animals in identifying most common bacterial and viral infections.
