Research.com, a leading academic platform for researchers, has just published its 9th edition of the annual Best Computer Scientist ranking. Distinguished Professor CT Lin (AAII’s Co-Director) has ranked #518 in the world ranking and #6 in Australia. Dist. Prof Lin has also been recognised with the Computer Science Leader Award for 2023.

Research.com has a rigorous inclusion threshold, with only scientists with a D-index of at least 30 making the list. The d-index metric includes only papers and citation values for an examined discipline. Led by chief data scientist, Imed Bouchrika, PhD, the Research.com team reviewed over 14,400 scientist profiles using various bibliometric sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef to determine the final list.

Latest discoveries in computer science research

The field of computer science has had an abundance of significant breakthroughs and advancements in recent years. These include improvements in quantum computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, edge computing, blockchain technology, and cybersecurity. The discoveries and progress in these areas have found their practical application in crucial sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, and transportation.”

Research.com World Online Ranking of Best Computer Scientists 2023 Report

Dist. Prof CT Lin is a major contributor to the world’s latest ground-breaking advancements in computer science. CT Lin is a leading researcher in brain computer interfaces (BCI), developing systems of brain information processing and communication with machines.

A highly published researcher in the fields of machine-intelligent systems and brain computer interface, Lin is also the founding director of the Computational Intelligence and Brain Computer Interface Lab at the Australian AI Institute, at UTS.

The Centre is developing mobile sensing technology to measure brain activity using non-invasive methods, to assess human cognitive states.

Lin led a large-scale 10-year project ($10 million) on Cognition and Neuroergonomics (2010-20) with the US Army Research Lab. The project explored advanced BCI technologies by studying the effects of vehicle motion and cognitive fatigue, and developing wearable EEG devices.

Distinguished Professor CT Lin's contributions to brain computer interfaces (BCI) are only some of the many world-changing achievements of his research. CT Lin’s recognition with the Computer Science Leader Award for 2023 is most fitting and well deserved.
