He has received many distinguished awards including Best Scientific Paper Award of ICPR2013 and Outstanding Chinese Oversea Scholar Fund of Chinese Academy of Science. He is the Principal Investigator of over 20 projects in biomedical engineering and image analysis, funded by the Japanese Government. Professor Yen-Wei Chen is ranked in the World's top 2% of scientists for both the single recent year (2023) and career-long (updated until to end-of-2022), according to Stanford/Elsevier's rankings.

Prof. Satoshi Tanaka got his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Waseda University, Japan in 1987. After experiencing an assistant professor, a senior lecturer, and an associate professor at Waseda University and Fukui University, he became a professor of Ritsumeikan University in 2002. His current research target is computer visualization of complex 3D shapes such as 3D scanned cultural heritage objects, inside structures of a human body, and fluid simulation results. Recently, he was the President of JSST (Japan Society for Simulation Technology) and the President of ASIASIM (the Federation of Asia Simulation Societies). Currently, he is working as the vice-president of the VSJ (Visualization Society of Japan) and a cooperation member of Japan Science Council. He is the best paper winners at Asia Simulation Conference 2012, Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering in 2014, and many others.

Robert Howlett is the Executive Chair of KES International, a non-profit organization that facilitates knowledge transfer and the dissemination of research results in areas including Intelligent Systems, Sustainability, and Knowledge Transfer. He is a Visiting Professor at Bournemouth University in the UK. His technical expertise is in the use of intelligent systems to solve industrial problems. He has been successful in applying artificial intelligence, machine learning and related technologies to sustainability and renewable energy systems; condition monitoring, diagnostic tools, and systems; and automotive electronics and engine management systems. His current research work is focussed on the use of smart microgrids to achieve reduced energy costs and lower carbon emissions in areas such as housing and protected horticulture.
