Dehradun, 21 Mar: An international conference on device intelligence, computing and communication technologies was initiated at Graphic Era Deemed University, here, today. Addressing this two-day conference, Director General of Technology Management at Defence Research & Development Organisation, LC Mangal said that artificial intelligence, sensors, digital, communication and other technologies are being interconnected to build a networked society. Embedded system-based devices are simplifying daily life and with necessary modifications, they are also being used in the defence sector. He said that integration of sensors, technical functions, and communication into a chip can be used for tremendous applications.
Vice Chancellor of Graphic Era Deemed University, Dr Narpinder Singh said that almost all devices are now being integrated with AI. This transformation is bringing revolutionary changes in fields such as AI-powered X-rays, insulin, wearables, autonomous vehicles, prosthetic limbs made using 3D printing, smart homes, and traffic management systems. Physicist Prof RK Sinha emphasised on the need for advancing research in optical fibre technology as it can help in solving various challenges. He presented his research on zero-index metamaterials and said that by changing the mu (μ) and epsilon (ε) parameters of metamaterials, the refractive index can also be altered.
Professor Manav K Bhatnagar from IIT Delhi discussed 5G technologies, Professor M Jaleel Akhtar from IIT Kanpur highlighted the challenges of sustainable engineering and Professor Sudeb Dasgupta from IIT Roorkee provided insights on Cryo-CMOS technology.
A souvenir was launched and 76 research papers were also presented. The international conference was organised by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Dean, Research Prof Bhasker Pant, Dean, International Affairs, Prof DR Gangodkar, HoD Prof Irfanul Hasan along with Dr Mridul Gupta, Dr Abhay Sharma, Dr Chandni Tiwari, Prof Sanjay Kumar from Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, faculty members and students were present at the conference.
