Ravikanth Konda: Powering AI From Cells to Smart Cities

Technology should do more than react-it should anticipate. From cells to smart cities, my work is about building AI systems that are proactive, scalable, and truly transformative for people and communities.

Konda began with an innovative research in biomedical imaging. During his Ph.D. at University of Melbourne, funded by NICTA and WEHI, he developed automated cell tracking software for time-lapse microscopy, enabling researchers to monitor immune cells with precision. The work laid the groundwork for applications in drug discovery, immunology, and real-time clinical diagnostics. His Master's thesis on AI Video Surveillance foreshadowed his impact on smart cities and public safety, using video analytics to understand and manage crowds.

At reputed Australian Organization on AI Research & Development (2009-2015), Konda translated theory into action.
