Raised and educated in India, Viju Prakash completed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University. Following graduation, in 2005, he completed a Master of Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University. He later completed his PhD titled, “A Power Aware Routing Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks” in Computer Science and Engineering.

Viju was employed as Lecturer from 2007 to 2010 and Assistant Professor from 2010 to 2017 in India. He then worked as an Assistant Professor for 4 years in Ethiopia and Iraq leading as a Member of the Post Graduate Governing Council and Research head.

In addition, since April 2022, Viju passionately continues to work as a Senior Lecturer at British University Vietnam to inspire and motivate his students toward innovation that is close to the current trend.
