About the authors
Dr. Amitava Datta completed his M.Tech and PhD in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He pursued postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science and University of Freiburg, both in Germany. He is currently a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Western Australia. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Freiburg and is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Life Sciences, Warsaw, Poland, and South West University, China. His scientific interests include computational molecular biology, data mining and parallel and distributed computing, and his computational molecular biology research focuses on RNA structural biology and miRNA gene and target prediction, particularly in relation to cancer biology. He has jointly developed the DotKnot software tool for predicting RNA tertiary structures, including pseudoknots, which is used by researchers worldwide. He has published over 150 research papers in respected international journals and in international conference proceedings.
