Prof. Ravi P. Agarwal, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, USA.
Biography
Dr. Ravi P. Agarwal was born in Moradabad (India) on July 10, 1947. After completing his schooling, he earned his Master’s degree from Agra University in 1969, ranking 2nd among over 500 Masters Candidates in that year. In 1973, he earned his Ph. D. (Mathematics) at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras, India, one of the highest ranking universities in India.
Dr. Agarwal has been actively involved in research as well as pedagogical activities for the last 49 years. His major research interests include Numerical Analysis, Differential and Difference Equations, Inequalities, and Fixed Point Theorems. He is an excellent scholar, dedicated teacher, and prolific researcher. He has published 45 research monographs and more than 1,700 publications (with almost 500 mathematicians all over the world) in prestigious national and international mathematics journals. Dr. Agarwal worked previously either as a regular faculty or as a visiting professor and scientist in universities in several countries, including India, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, USA, Singapore, and Japan. He has held several positions including Visiting Professor, Visiting Scientist, and Professor at various universities in different parts of the world. Specially, during 1980-81, he was awarded most respected Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship to work with Prof. Dr. G. Hammerlin at der Ludwig - Maximilians Universitat, Munchen, Germany, and during (1981-82) he worked as a Visiting Professor with Prof. Roberto Conti, Instituto Matematico, Firenze, Italy. He has been ranked as a Highly Cited Researcher for 14 consecutive years, and has also been recognized as one of the “World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” in 2014 and 2015 by Thomas Reuters (World’s most prestigious scientific organization). In 2020 he has been listed among world's Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University. According to Google Scholar, Dr. Agarwal is cited more than 40,000 times, and on MathSciNet, his work is cited more than 15,750 times by 6200 scientists. Dr. Agarwal is the recipient of several notable honors and awards, including Doctor Honoris Causa (2015 by University of Constanta, Romania), Professor Honoris Causa (2015 by University of Cluj, Romania), Honorary Doctorate (2017 by University of Nis, Serbia), Doctor Honoris Causa (2017 by Plovdiv University, Bulgaria), Doctor Honoris Causa (2017 by Constantin Brancusi, University of Targu-Jiu, Romania), Doctor Honoris Causa (2017 by University of Oradea, Romania, 2017), Doctor Honoris Causa (by 1 December 1918, University of Alba Lulia,, Romania), Honorary Doctorate (2019 by Istanbul Gelisim University, Turkey), and Doctor Honoris Causa (2019 by Transilvania University of Brasov , Romania). He was also nominated as a possible candidate for a Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award, an international award scheme recognizing significant contributions in the areas of scientific research and cultural creation. Many BBVA award winners are Nobel laureates, including Stephen Hawkins. Florida Institute of Technology (USA) and King Abdulaziz University have recently offered him Distinguished University Professorship of Mathematics.
Dr. Agarwal provided significant service to Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Under his leadership during 2011-19, Department of Mathematics consistently progressed in education and preparation of students, and in the new direction of research. His overall impact to the university is considerable. Many scholars from different nations, including China, Turkey, India, and Korea came to work under his guidance. The majority of these visiting post-doctoral scholars were sent to work under Dr. Agarwal by their employing institutions for at least one year.
Dr. Agarwal regularly disseminates his research at invited talks/colloquiums (over 100 Institutions all over the world). He has been invited to give plenary/keynote lectures at international conferences in the USA, Russia, Italy, India, Portugal, Poland, Spain, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Canada, Singapore, Turkey, Ukraine, Greece, and Japan.
He has served over 40 Journals in the capacity of an Editor/Honorary Editor, or Associate Editor, and published 20 books as an editor. Dr. Agarwal has also organized International Conferences.
In summary of these few inadequate paragraphs, Dr. Ravi P. Agarwal is a visionary scientist, educator, and administrator who has contributed to the world through his long service, dedication, and tireless efforts.

Speech Tilte: A Nonlinear Framework of Layered Intelligence for Video-based Recognition
Abstract: Many algorithms for multidimensional signal processing were presented in the past decades although, video-based recognition of occluded faces is still a great challenge. This research presents a new approach to tackle this challenge, which can be summarized as a “five layer intelligence”. These five intelligence layers are respectively environments sensing, active learning, cognitive computing, intelligent decision making and automatic control/execution. The experimental results are very promising and also present a new approach for other real challenges in multidimensional signal processing.
