LONDON, UK — The intersection of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and global management strategies took center stage in London this June as the International Conference on Data Analytics and Management (ICDAM) 2025 concluded its sixth and most ambitious edition to date.
Hosted by the prestigious London Metropolitan University from June 13–15, the event served as a critical platform for over 2,000 submissions from 40 countries. The conference culminated in the presentation of the International Universal Innovator Leadership Awards (IUILA-2025), recognizing five distinguished researchers whose work promises to reshape industries ranging from media to sustainable energy.
A Convergence of Global Minds
Organized in collaboration with WSG University (Poland), Portalegre Polytechnic University (Portugal), and the SGGW Management Institute, ICDAM 2025 utilized a robust hybrid format. The event drew over 245 online participants and 50 in-person delegates to the Holloway campus, facilitating a seamless exchange of ideas between established tech hubs in the US and India and emerging research centers across Africa and Asia.
The conference maintained a rigorous academic standard, with an acceptance ratio of approximately 20%. The 400 selected high-caliber papers are set for publication in Springer’s SCOPUS indexed Lecture Notes on Networks and Systems series book series. “London Met’s facilities elevated the experience, making hybrid feel truly inclusive,” noted a visiting researcher from Poland, highlighting the event’s success in bridging the physical-digital divide. The acceptance and planned publication of the International Conference on Data Analytics and Management (ICDAM) 2025 provides a high level of academic visibility and assurance of quality.
The IUILA 2025 Significant Winners: Architects of the Future
A focal point of the conference was the IUILA awards ceremony, which honored researchers bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world application.
Preeti Mahesh Kulkarni: Best Conference Paper Award Amidst the conference’s focus on sustainability, Preeti Mahesh Kulkarni received the Best Conference Paper Award for research proposing energy-efficient AI algorithms capable of reducing data-center carbon emissions by 30%. Aligning with the UK government’s 2025 Digital Strategy and net-zero ambitions, her work provides a tangible roadmap for media and tech entities to “green” their cloud-based production workflows without sacrificing computational performance.
Praveen Kumar Myakala: Transformative AI Researcher Award Praveen Kumar Myakala was honored with the Transformative AI Researcher Award for his work in developing intuitive platforms that democratize complex artificial intelligence capabilities for non-experts. His ICDAM-featured prototype, demonstrated in a hands-on workshop, enables seamless analytics integration, allowing journalists and business analysts to craft data-backed stories in hours rather than days. This innovation is poised to accelerate personalized content delivery in competitive newsrooms and independent media alike, bridging the technical divide in digital storytelling.
Yasmin Akter Bipasha: Multidisciplinary International Research Award Yasmin Akter Bipasha was honored with the prestigious Multidisciplinary International Research Award for her groundbreaking work bridging technology, social impact, and cross-border collaboration. Her research explores innovative applications of digital tools to address complex global challenges, demonstrating exceptional ability to synthesize insights across disciplines including computational sciences, international development, and policy innovation.
Mahesh Kumar Goyal: Outstanding Achievement in Data Analytics Mahesh Kumar Goyal, a Senior Data Engineer at Google, secured the Outstanding Achievement in Data Analytics award. With a career trajectory that includes pivotal roles at Amazon, Goyal has spent over a decade architecting the backbone of modern cloud ecosystems. He was recognized specifically for his work on “autonomous data infrastructure,” a paradigm that integrates agentic AI into the deep layers of data engineering. By successfully applying Generative AI to dismantle the barriers of legacy code conversion, Goyal’s innovations are not only accelerating cloud adoption lifecycles but are actively redefining industry standards for operational efficiency and scalability.
Ayodeji Olalekan Salau: Best Researcher Award Ayodeji Olalekan Salau was honored for his transformative machine-learning models in healthcare analytics. By integrating public health data to predict trends and optimize resources, his algorithms create a precedent for interdisciplinary approaches that amplify underrepresented voices, offering valuable insights for editorial strategies covering public sector reforms and global health.
Aryender Tyagi: Researcher of the Year in AI & Business Intelligence Innovation Aryender Tyagi received the top honor for his work on ethical, explainable AI systems designed to bolster transparency in content recommendation engines. Addressing concerns regarding algorithmic bias and deepfakes, Tyagi’s frameworks ensure trustworthy information dissemination, with pilot trials showing a 25% increase in user engagement—a significant step toward humanizing technology in the age of AI.
