Brief Biography

Kate Smith-Miles is a Professor and Head of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University in Australia. Prior to commencing this role in January 2009, she held a Chair in Engineering at Deakin University (where she was Head of the School of Engineering and Information Technology from 2006-2008) and a Chair in Information Technology at Monash University, where she worked from 1996-2006. Her third Chair (in Mathematical Sciences), demonstrates her multi-disciplinary breadth. Kate obtained a B.Sc(Hons) in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, both from the University of Melbourne, Australia. She has published 2 books on neural networks and data mining applications, and over 200 refereed journal and international conference papers in the areas of neural networks, combinatorial optimization, intelligent systems and data mining. She has supervised to completion 18 PhD students, and has been awarded over AUD$1.75 million in competitive grants, including 8 Australian Research Council grants and industry awards. From 2007-2008 she was Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Data Mining (IEEE Computational Intelligence Society). She was elected Fellow of the Institute of Engineers Australia (FIEAust) in 2006, and Fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society (FAustMS) in 2008. She was awarded the Australian Mathematical Society Medal in 2010 for distinguished research. In addition to her academic activities, she also regularly acts as a consultant to industry in the areas of optimisation, data mining, and intelligent systems.

 

Her bibliometric analysis includes: h-index[1] = 16 (ISI) and 22 (google scholar), with over 750 ISI citations (over 1800 on google scholar), an average of 54.6 ISI citations per year, and an average of 50.6 ISI citations per paper for her 10 most cited papers.
