Dr. Paresh Saxena is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Information Systems, with research expertise in the development of intelligent networked systems. He received his M.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, in 2011 and 2015, respectively, and B. Tech from LNMIIT, Jaipur in 2009. He was a member of European COST action IC1104 from 2013-2016 and worked on the project funded by MITACS, Canada in 2008. He has been a visiting researcher in SFU, Vancouver, Canada in 2008 and Telecom ParisTech, Paris in 2010. His research focuses on the design and optimization of next-generation computing and networking systems, with particular emphasis on NTN-enabled architectures, distributed intelligence, resource management, and adaptive networking solutions. He brings over a decade of post-doctoral research and development experience in advanced networking technologies, combining expertise across communication systems, distributed computing, and artificial intelligence. His doctoral research involved the design and implementation of channel and network coding techniques across application and link layers, including practical work on non-terrestrial networking systems. He has contributed to multiple international and industry-supported research initiatives, including projects funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), government agencies (ANRF, DRDO), and industrial partners (Google, AMD, Wipro, Axiado). His recent research explores distributed decision-making and resource optimization using reinforcement learning and intelligent offloading strategies for edge and distributed computing environments. These efforts address challenges in workload orchestration, adaptive resource allocation, and the autonomous management of large-scale networked systems. In addition to research, he has extensive experience in leading collaborative projects, mentoring graduate researchers, and contributing to the broader research community through reviewing, standardization activities, and participation in international research groups and forums.
