On behalf of his students, Dr. Kafi presented a paper titled "Skin Disease Screening System based on Smartphone Captured Images using Deep Learning". The paper was authored by Bassma, Rizuan Ahmed Rifat and Md Kafiul Islam. The research work was part of an Undergraduate Final Year Design Project performed at IUB’s Department of EEE in 2021 by Bassma and Rizuan Ahmed Rifat under the supervision of Dr. Kafi. One best presentation was selected from each technical session of the conference on the basis of the following criterias: originality, applicability, technical merit, PPT, and presentation clearness. The session was chaired by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shalli Rani from Chitkara University, India.
In addition to that, Dr. Kafi was also one of four TPC members to have received the Best Reviewer Award. The selection for this was based on the number of papers reviewed; quality of suggestions/comments given; swiftness of response to the emails sent by the Conference Secretary, and overall contribution to delivering a successful conference. Both awards were handed over virtually to Dr. Kafi by the Conference Committee Chair, Prof. Maode Ma, IET Fellow, Qatar University.
