Seminar on Data Analytics & Geo-Informatics On 9th November, 2019
Data Analytics & Geo- Informatics are the two emerging areas of research in Computer Science & Engineering empowering Decision making in business, project planning, Demand-supply chain, Trends and natural resource management, by embedding with various other fields like Machine Learning & Image Processing. As it is the need of the hour for CSE students, a seminar on “Data Analytics & Geo- Informatics” was organized by the Computer Science & Engineering department on 9th November, 2019. As the current year is celebrated as the Birth centenary of Dr. Vikram A Sarabhai, the father of Indian Space Research, the said seminar was dedicated to him. Two well-known speakers Dr. Soumya Bandyopadhyay, Scientist/Engineer – SG and Head (Applications), Regional Remote Sensing Centre (East), NRSC/ISRO, and Dr. Debasish Chakraborty Scientist/Engineer – SF, Regional Remote Sensing Centre (East), NRSC/ISRO Kolkata were invited to deliver and share their views on the respective topics. About 100 students of the Institute along with a good number of students from different college have participated in the said seminar. The detailed program is stated below.
