Biography

Williams Paul Nwadiugwu is an Assistant Professor at Laurentian University's School of Engineering and Computation Science, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. He holds a PhD degree in IT Convergence Engineering from the Kumoh National Institute of Technology (KIT), Gyeongbuk, South Korea. Upon graduation he was appointed Associate Research Professor and Teaching Faculty (sessional) with the ICT-Convergence Research Center and the School of Electronics Engineering, KIT, respectively. He later worked as a Senior Researcher and Teaching Faculty (guest) with the Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering, Toronto, Metropolitan University, ON Canada. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed scientific journals and international conferences/workshops till-date, and has mentored numerous Masters/PhD candidates. Williams was one of the recipients of the Brain Korea (MSIT/NRF) Doctoral scholarship grant. He is a registered member of the IEEE Board and regularly serves as Journal Reviewer for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, IEEE Access, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation & Measurements, IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, The Journal of Supercomputing (Springer Nature), International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing Inderscience, and Mathematical Problems in Engineering journal.
