Sajib Kumar Saha

Dr. Sajib Kumar Saha is a Research Scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia, with honorary and adjunct affiliations at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and Murdoch University. His work bridges artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and clinical decision support, focusing on automated diagnosis of eye diseases.

• PhD in Biomedical Imaging, University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia (2015)
• Erasmus Mundus Master in Color in Informatics and Media Technology, University Jean Monnet, France & Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway (2011)
• Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Science and Engineering, Khulna University, Bangladesh (2007)

Dr. Saha's research lies at the forefront of AI-driven healthcare innovation. His expertise spans artificial intelligence, computer vision, medical imaging, deep learning, and clinical decision support systems, particularly for ophthalmic conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. He applies machine learning to analyze retinal images, X-rays, and mobile-based diagnostics to improve early detection and remote monitoring.

His recent publications and grants reflect a strong trend toward translational AI in medicine, with projects involving smartphone-based glaucoma assessment, automated teleretinal screening, AI for diabetic foot infections, and cavity detection from dental photos. These works emphasize real-world implementation, home-based care, and integration into primary healthcare settings.

Notable scientific awards include:

• Julius Career Award (CSIRO)
• Endeavour Visiting Research Fellowship
• Office of Chief Executive Postdoctoral Fellowship
• Best Presenter, International Conference on Machine Vision (2012)
• Erasmus Mundus Scholarship
• Rising Star Award, Science on the Swan 2018

Dr. Saha has secured multiple competitive grants as Chief Investigator or Principal Investigator, including from WA Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI), Australia-Vietnam Enhanced Economic Engagement, CSIRO ACORN, and Spinnaker. These grants support the development and deployment of AI tools in clinical environments. He has also advised or mentored researchers through collaborative projects, though formal student names are not listed.

He has delivered invited seminars at leading institutions including the University of Paris, University of Milan, and ETH Zürich, and serves on the editorial board of EC Ophthalmology and the programming committee of ICONIP. His professional memberships include IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO).
