Engineering and research challenges in building smart cameras
2022-05-07 10:30 - 12:00 (Asia/Kolkata)
Machine Learning has started its move from the cloud to the periphery of the network. Today’s edge devices are becoming smarter and are no longer the dumb devices that would simply transmit the data to some central location. The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is conducting the 2nd department distinguished Industry-Academia Interaction lecture in the ECE DDIAIL series. Dr Amit Kumar Saha, Principal Engineer at Cisco Meraki, Bangalore, will deliver a talk on the topic ‘Computer vision at the edge’.
The talk will focus on the evolution of a specific type of edge device, the surveillance camera, from the traditional CCTV model to the smart camera model. It will discuss some of the engineering and research challenges in building smart cameras that lie at the periphery of the network.
Date: May 7, 2022
Time: 10.30 am to 12.00 pm IST

Density Dependent Behavior at Habitat Boundaries and the Allee Effect via Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Equation
2022-05-09 00:00
Abstract: Habitat edges can have a number of effects on populations, including modifying their patterns of dispersal. Dispersal patterns can influence population dynamics. In this talk, we will explore the possible effects of a pattern of dispersal where the response of organisms to the boundary of a habitat patch depends on their local density. This talk will discuss some mathematical models for the population growth of organisms having diffusing and nonlinear per capita growth inside a patch, but with the likelihood of an individual crossing the patch boundary to leave the patch decreases as the local density of conspecifics within the patch increases. Such behaviour at patch boundaries has been observed among Glanville fritillary butterflies and has been proposed as a mechanism for generating an Allee effect at the patch level. These models predict that the behavior can indeed induce an Allee effect at the patch level even though there is no such effect built into the local population dynamics inside the patch. Also, we will discuss how per capita growth and boundary behaviours impact the Allee effects. The models are relatively simple and are not intended to give a complete description of any particular population but only to verify the idea that the mechanism of density-dependent dispersal behaviour at a patch boundary is capable of altering population dynamics within the patch.

Igniting the innovative spirit
2022-05-10 17:30 - 18:30
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible”- Arthur C Clarke
The indomitable spirit to give birth to the impossible is the magical force that keeps changing the face of the world. Every innovation, be it in the field of technology, medicine, or entrepreneurship, has paved the way for colossal changes simplifying life on earth. The sheer ability to think and innovate is what made human beings the ruling power. All the amenities and services that we revel in today would not have come into existence without the power to innovate.
As the world is surging ahead with far-reaching developments at an unimaginable pace, there is no question about equipping society to embrace these changes and equally be an unflinching source instigating such changes. Learning in the present era is beyond the ability to read, write and pass with flying colours. True learning does not take place without igniting the spark of creativity hidden inside every individual. The Entrepreneurship Cell has scheduled the launch of their latest endeavour “Innovation Square” to put on show the unrelenting power of innovation of our students.

Lie groups as a unifying theme in mathematics: from Algebra and Number theory to Geometry and Topology.
2022-05-11 00:00 - 2022-09-21 00:00
Abstract:Groups are encountered early on in one’s education. Many groups that one learns already in undergraduate studies are in fact matrix groups with coefficients which can be numbers from finite fields to real and complex numbers or these days p-adic numbers. Such groups, called finite groups of Lie type or real Lie groups or p-adic groups as the case may be, have been playing a dominant role in many parts of mathematics. The lecture will be a gentle introduction to some of these topics.

Renewing a battle that is worth fighting for
2022-06-05 08:00 - 10:00
Imagine a motto having the same relevance and emergency even after 50 years of its inception! The slogan for the Stockholm Conference, #OnlyOneEarth of 1972, can relate. The theme is as pertinent as ever, with a lot more amplified concerns. This World Environment Day, revisit the actuality that Mother Earth is still the only liveable planet we have. Nature conservation is that battle we plot against ourselves only to win back what we destroyed.
The reckless devastations can only be nullified through transformative actions which can reset the balance between humanity and nature. Getting out of the denial stage and acting accordingly is the only way to preserve nature for the next generation. A greener, cleaner, and sustainable tomorrow will always be a matter of urgency with the escalating environmental issues.
The Department of Student Affairs is celebrating World Environment Day to spread hopes and action plans for protecting what we have in order to restore what we lost. The celebration aspires to emphasise and accelerate the thoughts on the predicament situation we are in. As part of the event, there will also be an awareness rally to foster the essence of the message.

Classical concert on Annamacharya Sankeertanas
2022-06-08 16:00 - 17:00
Tallapaka Annamacharya, popularly known as ‘Anamayya’, was a 15th-century saint and the earliest known Indian musician to compose songs called sankeertanas in praise of Lord Venkateswara. His compositions have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic Music and are still making rounds in various music concerts and performances the world over.
Having composed countless odes to Sri Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy, Annamacharya is widely regarded as the Pada Kavitaa Pitamaha of Telugu poetry. He was a reputed singer and an eminent poet who gave life to the Telugu song and lyricism by blending the Telugu ‘Andhra Vedam’ for the easy understanding of the common man, with the summary of ‘Sanskrit Vedas’.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, also known as TTD, are on an endeavour to preserve the rich heritage of his compositions. They have set music to over 800 compositions of Annamacharya that have amassed wide popularity among the devotees. We are delighted to announce that the following TTD musicians will be offering a beautiful rendition of Annamacharya’s compositions at our university campus:

The key to a successful job interview
2022-06-18 17:00 - 18:00
Facing an interview is a nightmare for many. There may be multiple factors lowering your level of confidence. Your depth of knowledge, ability to communicate, body language, dressing style, and an endless list of reasons could affect you in being yourself during an interview.

Yesterday you said tomorrow!
2022-07-07 16:00 - 17:00
Procrastination is irrational and existential at its core. The ambiguous nature of self-awareness makes us feel rotten and glad at the same time while putting things off for a moment. It is a coping mechanism to resist the challenging emotions caused by the sight of certain tasks. That’s why procrastination is never an issue of time management but emotion regulation. It becomes a habit and not a once-in-a-blue-moon phenomenon.
The Department of Student Affairs is coming up with a talk on Today is the new Tomorrow – Beat procrastination, which will be handled by Student Counsellor Ms Sridevi Srinath. It’s time to break the ties between procrastination and productivity. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of productive effort but with managing emotions. This session will help you break the procrastination cycle and develop an action plan that works for you.
Date: July 07, 2022
Time: 4 pm to 5 pm
About the speaker
Ms Sridevi Srinath has been in the field of counselling for over eight years. She holds an MSc in Counselling Psychology from Madras School of Social Work and an MPhil in Psychology from the University of Madras. Working in a school previously, she has over five years of experience in impacting the lives of children and adults across issues such as anxiety, stress, behavioural changes, soft and life skills, and career guidance, to name a few. She also has certification from UCLA Extension in Career Guidance and Counselling.

Find your place behind the screen
2022-07-07 18:00 - 2022-07-11 20:00
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul
– Ingmar Bergman
Inside the dark space of a movie theatre, it’s just us, the screen, and the projecting light against the world. We join the revolt of the artist against the real. The very idea of perceiving the comfort and discomfort of a cinema while sitting with a bunch of unfamiliar faces is enough to make you fall into the rabbit hole of filmmaking.
Ever wondered how people connect with people through mere moving images? Ever think of the stories you want to tell but cannot fix frames and pour life into them? It is the filmmaking enthusiast in you who makes you think of what is in a frame and what is out.
The fascinating thing about cinema is that it is an endless tool made up of pretty much the same elements. Cinema uses the language of dreams and each of them is entirely different from the other. The Movie Club is ready with a filmmaking workshop to awaken the storyteller in you. The workshop offers an intensive and instructional five-day programme focusing on the five main agents of cinema, including Scriptwriting, Direction, Photography, Editing, and Acting.
