Dr. Amin Beheshti is the Director of AI-enabled Processes (AIP) Research Centre and the head of the Data Analytics Research Lab, Department of Computing, Macquarie University. He is also Senior Lecturer (equivalent to Associate Professor in the USA) in Data Science at Macquarie University and Adjunct Academic in Computer Science at UNSW Sydney. Amin completed his Ph.D. and Postdoc in Computer Science and Engineering in UNSW Sydney and holds a Master and Bachelor in Computer Science both with First Class Honours. In addition to his contribution to teaching activities, Amin extensively contributed to research projects; where he was the R&D Team Lead and Key Researcher in the 'Case Walls & Data Curation Foundry' and 'Big Data for Intelligence' projects. Amin has been recognized as a high-quality researcher in Big-Data/Data/Process Analytics and has been invited to serve and served as Keynote Speaker, General-Chair, PC-Chair, Organisation-Chair and program committee member of top international conferences. He is the leading author of the book entitled "Process Analytics", co-authored with other high-profile researchers in UNSW and IBM research, recently published by Springer. Amin was able to secure over $3.9 million research grants for AI-Enabled and Intelligence-Led projects in Banking and Education.
