Uday K. Chakraborty

Uday K. Chakraborty is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, College of Arts and Sciences. He serves as the undergraduate advising coordinator for Computer Science and teaches courses including CS 2260 and CS 1250, with SP2025 office hours held in CCB 328 and via Zoom. His research spans theoretical and applied domains with significant interdisciplinary impact.

Education:

• Ph.D. from Jadavpur University

Research Interests:

Professor Chakraborty's work centers on evolutionary computation, machine learning, and soft computing, with applications in scheduling and energy systems including fuel cell modeling. He has pioneered research in AI ethics, examining algorithmic accountability, data feudalism, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. His bioinformatics contributions focus on Alzheimer's disease through genetic marker identification and biomarker discovery, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary integration across computer science, ethics, and biomedical domains.

Publication Trends:

His 2023-2025 publications reveal three dominant trajectories: (1) Theoretical advances in evolutionary algorithms (e.g., Jaya algorithm complexity analysis), (2) Critical examinations of AI ethics (e.g., algorithmic accountability frameworks and data governance), and (3) Biomedical applications using machine learning for Alzheimer's disease biomarker discovery. Educational research forms a fourth strand, developing AI-enhanced pedagogical tools for coding instruction.

Advising and Funding:

• Advising: Undergraduate advising coordinator for Computer Science at UMSL, serving students with last names S-Z and non-majors during Monday/Wednesday office hours
• Grants: Research supported by the National Science Foundation for evolutionary computation and optimization projects
• Leadership: Organizes Differential Evolution sessions at IEEE CEC conferences
