Zoran B. Djordjevic graduated with honors from the department of electrical engineering at the University of Belgrade in 1976. He received his master's in 1980 and his PhD in 1984, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After a brief period as a design engineer at a biotechnology company in Cambridge, he returned to Belgrade where he worked as a senior scientist in the Institute of Nuclear Studies in Vinca, Belgrade. There, he pursued studies of random structures and networks. In the early 1990s, Djordjevic moved to the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, where he designed a large database containing properties of radioactive streams from all US Department of Energy sites and multi-component glasses for safe storage of nuclear wastes. He has been interested and involved in the design of systems for processing and analysis of large data sets since. Over the years, his interests have shifted towards the techniques for processing, searching, storing, and retrieving natural language samples, applications of machine learning techniques, and neural networks. He has taught computer science, physics, and mathematics courses at Boston University's Metropolitan College; the Harvard University Extension School; Clark University; the University of Massachusetts, Boston; and the Catholic University of America.

Rahul Joglekar is a technologist specializing in the field of data and analytics. He has been closely connected to the field through his work at Tufts Health Plan since 2015. His current role as an enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) architect allows him to get a view of a broad range of AI use cases and technologies across all modalities. Joglekar completed his ALM with a concentration in information technology from Harvard Extension School in 2013 and has been teaching for more than 10 years. His passion for teaching and sharing on-the-field experiences helps enrich his course content as well as make his courses interesting.
