Prof. Allam Appa Rao holds a PhD in Computer Engineering from Andhra University India. He is a Fellow of SDPS. He heads the top ranking Andhra University Autonomous College of Engineering from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. His computer engineering contributions have been extraordinary and highly relevant to the societal needs. He demonstrated through his patents and publications the extra ordinary skill in using computer engineering to solve medical diseases. His refereed-journal papers are of very high quality, several of his papers place him in altogether different league by connecting bioinformatics to software engineering.

         Prof.Allam takes on the most challenging problems, pursues them from transdisciplinary perspective, and come up with the most creative solutions. Prof. Allam’s accomplishments range from computational biology, and physical models for image formation in machine vision, study of shape changes by usage of numeric morphological operators, continuity of care in medicine, adapting biological processes into engineering, and new educational thinking in computer science and medicine. His rare, subtle, and intuitive understanding of why, where, and how Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus have a cholinesterase connection is very impressive.

      He made outstanding contributions in bioinformatics and significantly advanced understanding of biological processes related to diseases. His pioneering work on correlating two severe diseases, namely, Alzheimer and Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most significant contribution in the field of bioinformatics as this work is tremendously influencing the development of fully automated kits/tests for detecting biological markers related to these diseases.
