Dhananjay Bhattacharyya, Head of the Computer Sciences (CS) Division, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Calcutta, India, obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and a postdoctoral fellowship from National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. Dr. Bhattacharyya's research interest is in understanding the structurefunction relationship of biological macromolecules, particularly nucleic acids. In order to understand different structural features of nucleic acids, the CS Division at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics has developed a number of software tools under his guidance, such as NUPARM, BPFIND and PyrHB Find. Using some of these tools, the CS Division has classified structures of different non-canonical base pairs appearing in RNA crystal structures. Dr. Bhattacharyya has successfully guided several doctoral candidates on computational biology and bioinformatics.

Nitin Auluck is an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Rupnagar, Punjab, India. Prior to that, he was an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at Quincy University, Illinois, USA. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in 2005. He has published in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (PDS), Transactions on Computers and Intelligent Systems, Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Programming 2012, Taipei, Taiwan, etc. His current areas of research are real-time systems, scheduling, and parallel and distributed computing.
