Dr Dhirendra Singh is Principal Research Fellow (Associate Professor) in the AI Discipline of the School of Computing Technologies at RMIT University. He is technical lead on the ongoing CSIRO/RMIT Evacuation Modelling project that is building a national evacuation modelling capability for understanding and assessing risk to communities during natural disasters in Australia, for use in planning, preparedness, and response, by emergency management agencies. Dhirendra has over 20 years of combined experience in academia and industry, with a PhD in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) and double bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering.
Dhirendra works on applied research projects for CSIRO's Data61, and the Urban Futures Enabling Capability Platform at RMIT University.
