Dr. Madan M. Gupta (chronological publication list, book list, principal research contributions, C.V. without publications, categorized publication list, faculty page, lab page, research compendium, other faculty page) is a professor (emeritus) in the College of Engineering and the director of the Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan.
Dr. Gupta has authored or co-authored over 825 published research papers. He coauthored the seminal book Static and Dynamic Neural Networks: From Fundamentals to Advanced Theory. Dr. Gupta previously coauthored Introduction to Fuzzy Arithmetic: Theory and Applications (the first book on fuzzy arithmetic) and Fuzzy Mathematical Models in Engineering and Management Science. Both of these books have Japanese translations. Also, Dr. Gupta has edited or coedited 19 books as well as many conference proceedings and journals in the fields of adaptive control systems, fuzzy computing, neurocomputing, neuro-vision systems, and neuro-control systems (book list).
Dr. Gupta was elected life fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his contributions to the theory of fuzzy sets and adaptive control systems and for the advancement of the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. He was elected fellow of the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) for his contributions to the field of neuro-control and neuro-fuzzy systems. He was also elected fellow of the International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA) for his contributions to fuzzy-neural computing systems.
In 1991, Dr. Gupta was the co-recipient of the Institute of Electrical Engineering Kelvin Premium. In 1998, Dr. Gupta was honored by the III- Kaufmann Prize and Gold Medal for his research in the field of fuzzy logic. This Gold Medal was presented by the Foundation FEGI (Fundació per a l'Estudi de la Gestió en la Incertesa: Fuzzy Management Research Foundation) and SIGEF (Sociedad Internacional de Gestión Economia: Fuzzy, International Association for Fuzzy Set Management and Economy) in Reus, Spain.
He was elected as a visiting professor and a special advisor in the area of high technology to the European Centre for Peace and Development (ECPD), University for Peace, which was established by the United Nations. In 1991, he was invited by the ECPD to visit and lecture at about five industrial and research centers in India.
Dr. Gupta received his B.E. (Hons.) and M.E. degrees in electronics-communications engineering from the Birla Engineering College (now the Birla Institute of Technology & Science), Pilani, India, in 1961 and 1962, respectively. As a commonwealth scholar, he received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, in 1967 in adaptive control systems. In 1998, for his extensive contributions in neuro-control, neuro-vision, and fuzzy-neural systems, Dr. Gupta was awarded an earned doctor of science (D.Sc.) degree by the University of Saskatchewan.
Dr. Gupta's current research interests are in the areas of neuro-vision systems, neuro-control systems, integration of fuzzy-neural systems, neuronal morphology of biological vision systems, intelligent and cognitive robotic systems, cognitive information, new paradigms in information processing, chaos in neural systems, and fuzzy-neural logic in law. He is also developing some new architectures of computational neural networks and computational fuzzy neural networks for application to advanced robotics, aerospace, medical, industrial, and business systems and law. His research interests also lie in signal and image processing with applications to medical systems.
Dr. Gupta is or has been on the editorial board of over fifteen journals in the field of fuzzy-neural and intelligent systems. Also, he has participated in the initiation of some of these journals. He has also served as a founding member of some of some international societies such as International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA), North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS), and Canadian Fuzzy Information and Neural Society (CAN-FINS).
Dr. Gupta, an engineering professor for 40 years, has been teaching lectures, tutorials, and courses on intelligent systems for 30 years. As a research pioneer in intelligent systems, Dr. Gupta is responsible for numerous momentous advancements in the field.

Instructor AND consultant #2: Ashu M. G. Solo
Ashu M. G. Solo is an electrical and computer engineer, mathematician, progressive political writer, and entrepreneur.
Solo is the creator of four revolutionary new branches
of math (three of which are published). Solo has
335 publications and 29 manuscripts accepted for publication (316
engineering and math research publications, 29 engineering and math
manuscripts accepted for publication, and 18 political commentary
publications). Solo defined the new interdisciplinary fields of public
policy engineering, computational public policy, political engineering, and
computational politics. He co-developed some
of the best published methods for maintaining power flow in and multiobjective optimization of radial power distribution system operations
using intelligent systems.
In recognition of the extreme quality and quantity of
his research contributions and publications as well as his extremely
extensive service to the engineering profession, Solo was awarded a
fellowship (FBCS) with the British Computer Society (BCS). Solo has won an Outstanding Achievement Award, two
Distinguished Service Awards, and two Achievement Awards from research
conferences. He has been listed in Who's
Who in Science and Engineering 2011-2012, Who's Who in the World 2011,
and Who's Who in America 2011, Who's Who in the World 2010, and Who's Who in America 2010
by Marquis.
He has been selected for inclusion in
Who's Who in America 2012, 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of
the 21st Century, and Canadian Who's Who 2011 by University of
Toronto Press.
Solo's primary research interests are in developing new branches of math,
defining new interdisciplinary fields, intelligent systems theory and applications, as well as public policy.
His math research interests are in developing new branches of math that
build on linear algebra, multivariable calculus, discrete mathematics, fuzzy
math, and Fractal geometry as well as in the application of Solo's new
branches of math in intelligent systems, control systems, and other fields. His
intelligent systems theory research interests include fuzzy logic
Solo is the founder, principal, as well as research and development engineer for Maverick Technologies America Inc. He is a cofounder, the principal, as well as an intelligent systems instructor and consultant for Trailblazer Intelligent Systems, Inc. Solo is a cofounder and the IT partner for a labor shortage solutions firm, which secures labor market opinions and fills labor shortages with foreign workers. Finally, he is the founder and principal of InfoDock, a software design outsourcing firm. Solo previously worked in nine different research and development labs in universities and companies. Solo has served on 146 international program committees for research conferences.
Solo served honorably as an infantry officer and platoon commander understudy in the Cdn. Army Reserve. He is an extremely experienced corruption whistleblower and fights to advance progressive politics, civil rights and civil liberties, animal rights, and environmental protection.
Solo likes doing combat sports including kickboxing and mixed combative arts, extreme sports including motorcycle racing and motocross racing, and extremely intense physical conditioning including push-up marathons and long distance running. When in top shape, he can do over 1500 push-ups in under two hours, can run a 26 mile (42 km) marathon, and can throw over 400 proper punches and proper kicks in a three-minute round.
