Vimal Kumar Kumar

Dr. Vimal Kumar Kumar serves as a Research Fellow at the University of Limerick's Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, affiliated with Lero – the Irish Software Research Centre. His academic career includes prior faculty positions as Assistant Professor at Jaypee University of Information Technology (2009-2022) and Lecturer at SRM Institute of Science and Technology (2007-2009), followed by a Postdoctoral Researcher role at University College Dublin (2022-2023).

His educational background includes:

• PhD in A Novel sense based Hindi to Tamil machine translation system from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (2019)
• Masters from Anna University Chennai (2005-2007)
• Bachelor from PSG College of Technology (2000-2004)

Dr. Kumar's research centers on Natural Language Processing with specialized focus on machine translation for Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil), text summarization, and sentiment analysis. He extends this work into computer vision applications for medical imaging and activity recognition, plus deep learning implementations for IoT-based agricultural monitoring. His methodology frequently addresses challenges in low-resource language processing and develops optimized neural network architectures for mobile deployment.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals consistent interdisciplinary innovation, particularly in healthcare applications (retinal disease detection), agricultural technology (crop yield prediction), and social media analytics. His work demonstrates strong emphasis on practical AI solutions for resource-constrained environments and underrepresented linguistic communities, often leveraging generative models and contextual embeddings.

Dr. Kumar actively contributes to Lero's research initiatives, aligning his technical work with UN Sustainable Development Goals through software solutions addressing global challenges in health, food security, and digital inclusion.
