Hamid R. Arabnia received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Kent (Canterbury, England) in 1987. Arabnia is currently a Full Professor of Computer Science at University of Georgia (Georgia, USA), where he has been since October 1987. His research interests include Parallel and distributed processing techniques and algorithms, supercomputing, interconnection networks, and applications (in particular, in image processing, medical imaging, bioinformatics, knowledge engineering, and other computational intensive problems). Dr. Arabnia is Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Supercomputing (one of the oldest journals in Computer Science) published by Springer and has been Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (2008-2011). He is also on the editorial and advisory boards of over 35 other journals. Prof. Hamid Arabnia is the founding chair/editor of the following initiatives: the annual World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (known as WORLDCOMP and is one of the largest research congresses in CS); Transactions of Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (Springer publishers); and Transactions on Computer Science and Applied Computing (Elsevier). Hamid Arabnia has received a number of awards, including, The Johns Hopkins University National Search in recognition of his contributions to the national program for enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities through the application of computing technology. In 2006, he received the Distinguished Service Award in recognition and appreciation of his contributions to the profession of computer science and his assistance and support to students and scholars from all over the world. More recently, Hamid Arabnia received an Outstanding Achievement Award in Recognition of His Leadership and Outstanding Research Contributions to the Field of Supercomputing. This award was presented to him at Harvard University Medical School (signatories: Lawrence O. Hall, President of IEEE/SMC; Zhi-Pei Liang, Vice President of IEEE/EMB; Jack. Y. Yang, General Chair of IEEE BIBE and Harvard University; Mary Qu Yang, Chair of Steering Committee, IEEE BIBE and NIH). Dr. Arabnia is an elected Fellow, Intl Society of Intelligent Biological Medicine (ISIBM); he has been on the Advisory Board of IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC, 2006-2012). He is the founder of PDPTA (Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications) annual conferences; PDPTA proceedings are one of the highest cited publications in the field. He was recently (2011) nominated for Outstanding Service award by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).
