Sydney, Australia — Western Sydney University successfully hosted the IEEE International Conference on Computational Engineering, Sensing Technology and Management (ICCETM 2025) on 18 November 2025, drawing researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from across Australia, India, and several global technology hubs. Organized by Amity International School and Amity University, under the patronage of Dr. A. K. Chauhan and Dr. Atul Chauhan, the event marked a significant milestone in strengthening academic and technological collaboration between the two nations.
The conference was held within the context of Western Sydney University’s “Factory of the Future” initiative, an ecosystem dedicated to Industry 4.0 innovation, advanced composite manufacturing, and smart sensing networks. This setting grounded the technical discussions in real-world industrial applications, emphasizing Australia’s strategic transition toward a more digitally integrated economy.
The IEEE ICCETM 2025 served as a platform to accelerate this pivot by converging on advanced data architectures, robust financial cybersecurity, and smart sensing networks. These core themes directly address Australia’s need to boost productivity across key sectors, enhance global competitiveness, and secure critical infrastructure against rising cyber threats, ultimately enabling high-value, resilient, and data-driven industries.
Innovations in Data Ecosystems, Financial Security and Infrastructure
The conference featured a wide spectrum of speakers representing academic, research, and industry backgrounds, reflecting the event’s commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration and global knowledge exchange. While many experts contributed across various tracks, only some of the most prominent keynote speakers highlighted the conference’s theme and prestige.
Anthony Vippond Director at Lotus Recycling, delivered a keynote centered on the intersection of sustainability and advanced computational technologies. Vippond discussed the role of data-driven decision frameworks in improving operational inefficiencies across the recycling value chain. His session also underscored the growing importance of circular-economy principles and illustrated how industry partnerships, technological innovation, and regulatory alignment can accelerate environmental stewardship within industrial ecosystems.
Dr. Payam Zekavat, Associate Dean (International) at the School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Western Sydney University, addressed the audience offline with a message reinforcing the university’s vision for global engagement and technological leadership.
A major highlight of ICCETM 2025 was its focus on cybersecurity, financial resilience, and systems architecture. Krishna Mula, Senior Software Lead Engineer associated with Navy Federal Credit Union, delivered a session on high-availability financial transaction environments. He examined the integration of artificial intelligence into real-time fraud detection and outlined engineering strategies to secure national-scale financial platforms against emerging cyber threats.
Narasimha Rao Vanaparthi, Assistant Vice President at State Street in Boston, addressed the modernization of mainframe infrastructures within global banking systems. His talk provided insights into transitioning from legacy hardware to cloud-native operations while meeting rigorous regulatory compliance standards.
The conference also broadened its scope to enterprise data ecosystems. Mahesh Kumar Goyal, Senior Data and AI Engineer at Google LLC, presented on the evolution of large-scale data architectures, highlighting neuromorphic computing approaches and the deployment of autonomous Data agents in enterprise environments. He discussed challenges associated with managing exabyte-scale data lakes and the development of distributed cognitive systems for automated business processes.
Chandra Sekhar Kubam, Integration Architect at Miracle Software Systems Inc., offered a detailed session on enterprise system integration. His presentation focused on the interoperability of diverse legacy systems and the architectural patterns essential for supporting digital transformation in large organizations.
ICCETM 2025 achieved its objective of fostering meaningful knowledge exchange across varied economic landscapes—from Australia’s resource-driven “Outback economy” to international financial and technological centers. Under the leadership of Prof. (Dr.) Gurinder Singh, the conference compiled contributions exploring how sensing technologies and computational management frameworks can address pressing industrial challenges across the Indo-Pacific region.
The organizers concluded the event with a commitment to strengthening cross-border collaboration and further advancing the shared technological roadmap developed through the conference’s deliberations.
