SUMMARY:Programmed sadness in the desire for connections and recognition
DESCRIPTION:“Social media reality may be seen as a magical realm where we belong. That’s where the tribes gather\, and that’s the place to be – on top of the world. Social relations in “real life” have lost their importance”– David Brooks \nTechnological sadness has become the default mental state of the online billions. The Department of English at SRM University-AP organises a guest lecture titled “Programmed Sadness” on April 11\, 2022\, to discuss the emotional analytics of network cultures. Prof Geert Lovink\, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences\, will engage the participants at 3.30 pm on that day. \nWhat happens when nothing can motivate you anymore\, when all the self-optimisation techniques fail\, and you begin to carefully avoid these forms of emotional analytics? Compared to others\, your ranking is low – and this makes you sad. In this presentation\, Dutch media theorist\, internet critic and founder of the Institute of Network Cultures will discuss the dark side of the net. The mental state of internet users is tragic. Instead of empowerment and self-organisation\, what we mostly see around is anger and despair. How did we end up like this? The lecture will zoom in on the widespread techno-sadness that is produced by dominant social media platforms through ‘behavioural modification’ (also known as ‘nudging’) with the aim to keep users coming back to the app\, exposing them to even more personalised ads. Instead of empowerment and diversity\, we witness a ‘chilling effect’ of hyper conformism\, resulting in anger\, sadness\, depression and loneliness. This is the social reality today. \nAbout the speaker \nGeert Lovink is a Dutch media theorist\, internet critic and author of Uncanny Networks (2002)\, Dark Fiber (2002)\, My First Recession (2003)\, Zero Comments (2007)\, Networks Without a Cause (2012)\, Social Media Abyss (2016)\, Organization after Social Media (with Ned Rossiter\, 2018)\, Sad by Design (2019) and Stuck on the Platform (2022). He studied political science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and received his PhD from the University of Melbourne. In 2004\, he founded the Institute of Network Cultures (www.networkcultures.org) at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA). His centre organises conferences\, publications and research networks such as Video Vortex (online video)\, The Future of Art Criticism\, and MoneyLab (internet-based revenue models in the arts). Recent projects deal with digital publishing experiments\, critical meme research\, participatory hybrid events and precarity in the arts. From 2007-to 2018\, he was a Media Theory professor at the European Graduate School. In December 2021\, he was appointed Professor of Art and Network Cultures at the UvA Art History Department. \nAll students and faculty members are invited to join this illuminating session on April 11\, 2022\, at 03.30 pm via the zoom platform.

SUMMARY:AI/ML algorithms for radio access networks
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is hosting the first instalment of the Distinguished Industry-Academia Interaction Lecture in the ECE DDIAL series. The event is scheduled on April 9\, 2022\, at 10.30 am. Dr. Serene Banerjee\, Master Researcher\, Ericsson Research\, will be the keynote speaker. She will deliver a talk on the topic ‘AI/ML Based Interference Diagnostics and Mitigation for Improved Quality of Service in Radio Access Networks’. \nAbstract of the Talk \nFor coverage and capacity optimization\, Uplink Power Control is one of the key steps\, in addition to antenna tilting and Downlink Power Control. For self-organizing networks\, automated algorithms for Uplink Power Control are a necessity. However\, Uplink Power Control affects the noise in the neighbouring cells. It is important to detect this interference to monitor uplink noise. Uplink noise due to power control manifests as static interference in the channel. The current state-of-the-art baseline model is based on regression models. We have proposed automated detection of static interference in the uplink channel of cells based on machine learning models. We have evaluated the same on customer data on LTE networks with high accuracy. The detected cells are subsequently used to correct the nominal power parameter through a proposed teacher-student model based on the primary cell and its neighbours. This approach shows better performance than the state-of-the-art baseline methods. The dual of static is dynamic interferences and can be attributed to traffic load\, Passive Intermodulation (PIM) and thermal noise\, etc. PIM identification is a major component in troubleshooting modern wireless communication systems. The introduction of carrier aggregation has increased PIM occurrences. Current state-of-the-art approaches include manual rule-based and hardware-based debugging. These approaches can detect the occurrence of PIM\, long after the event occurrence and result in incurring incidental costs. We propose an ensemble of time series-based machine learning and signal processing approaches that can automatically identify PIM in real-time by analyzing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of the primary cell and its nearest neighbours. We validate our results for various environmental conditions in data available from LTE and 5G consumer networks. We have further extended the work to multi-frequency time series to handle finer time granularities and detect PIM anomalies in an online learning setting. We further propose a self-supervised reinforcement learning approach to predict PIM related anomalies before it happens. We forecast environmental conditions that give rise to PIM based on offline historical data and model to predict future occurrences. Experimental results are on real-world datasets comprising 50\,000+ cells which have shown to accurately predict PIM 60% of the time. To the best of our knowledge\, this is the first work\, where we are able to predict PIM anomalies before they happen. Post PIM-identification\, we propose a binary search-based solution that is amenable to real-time implementation. We show through simulations that this search in tandem with a reinforcement learning-based solution can dynamically mitigate and cancel PIM. Results show that the number of steps to converge\, to identify and mitigate the PIM in uplink frequency is reduced by a large factor. To summarize\, our contributions include using machine learning algorithms for: (1) robust interference classification\, (2) demonstrating p0-nominal recommender as teacher-student model\, (3) a times-series analysis-based PIM identification\, (4) extending the approach to multi-frequency time series\, and for online learning\, (5) demonstrating a self-supervised reinforcement learning approach to predict PIM anomalies before they happen\, and (6) mitigating PIM\, in spite of environmental unknowns\, by employing binary search in conjunction with ML/RL-based approaches. \nAbout the Speaker \nSerene Banerjee\, Master Researcher\, Ericsson Research\, has 17+ years of industrial experience after completing her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin\, under Prof Brian L Evans in 2004. She has completed BTech(H) in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 1999. At Ericsson\, she is focusing on developing AI/ML algorithms for Radio Access Networks. Prior to Ericsson\, she has worked with Texas Instruments\, HP\, and Johnson Controls. She has 23 peer-reviewed publications\, 9 granted patents\, and several pending.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Mathematics myth
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought Mathematics is a hard nut to crack? The Department of Mathematics brings to you Dr Rossi D’Souza to break the myth associated with Math. The seminar will be held on March 28\, 2022 at 03.45 pm IST. Dr D’Souza\, from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science will deliver a talk on ‘Why is the relationship between Mathematics\, Education & Society important for research?’. \nAbstract of the Talk \n“Mathematics is hard!” has been a universal refrain among school children (and often their parents) for as long as we recall. But why do so many children dislike Mathematics? Is it the way Mathematics is taught – because Math teachers follow a “rote-learning” approach instead of making sure students understand the basic concepts? Why are students from marginalized backgrounds/identities disproportionately lagging behind in & excluded from Mathematics knowledge production? Or is Mathematics really not for everybody? \nDrawing on experience from his PhD research with visually challenged students and industry experience the speaker will highlight the importance of taking into account the social factors in Mathematics Education Research to effectively address the challenges posed by STEM Education – and to work towards a world where Mathematics really is for everybody! \nSpeaker’s Profile \nDr Rossi D’Souza recently completed his PhD in Mathematics education from HBCSE-TIFR. His research interests include exploring how ableism operates in Mathematics education. Prior to working as a Research scholar\, Rossi completed his M.Tech in Modeling and Simulation from Pune University\, specializing in and then working in the field of Computational Genomics. He has also worked as a visiting lecturer at Govt. Polytechnic Mumbai\, as a medical instrument repairman at Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital\, Bangalore and as a Science Communicator on the Science Express train.

SUMMARY:Non-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics is going to host the sixth instalment of the Eminent Guest Lecture Series: An Odyssey of Physics on March 19\, 2022\, at 03.00 PM IST with Prof Parongama Sen from the University of Calcutta as the keynote speaker. Dr Sen will be speaking on” Non-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation”. \nProf Parongama Sen has been teaching at the University of Calcutta as Professor since 2008. She received her PhD from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics\, Calcutta in 1993. She was also awarded APS-IUSSTF Professorship in 2012-13. Her research interests include statistical physics: phase transitions and critical phenomena in magnetic systems\, networks\, quantum systems\, percolation etc. and dynamical phenomena in complex physical and social systems. \nNon-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation \nThere has been tremendous research activity on the evolution of systems comprising of interacting particles in Statistical Physics over the last few decades. This lecture particularly considers those systems in which the particles (also called reactants) may get annihilated instantaneously upon contact or merged as a single species\, both of which reduce the particle number. Some of these processes have a one-to-one correspondence with the coarsening dynamics of spin systems and play an important role in the development of non-equilibrium Statistical Physics. \nUsually\, one considers diffusive motion when the particles move freely\, and some known results in this context will be discussed. Here\, the speaker notes that the dynamics may also be considered in terms of population densities rather than individuals and examples include models of epidemic spreading. \nFinally\, she will focus on a model in which the reactant particles are driven by a dynamic bias that radically changes the scaling behaviour of the relevant quantities. The results will be presented for such a system\, highlighting the microscopic dynamics\, which reveal a crossover behaviour.

SUMMARY:Reading Skills: Insights from a Historian
DESCRIPTION:Reading means something different for everyone. Each person develops their reading skills as per their requirements. Some read to find information while others read to mine information. Some read to learn\, and some read to laugh\, some read to be entertained and some to escape. From reading the labels on new products to newspapers to novels\, the objectives of reading can be plenty. \nThe Department of English is bringing Prof Manan Ahmed – Associate Professor\, Columbia University to shed light on the reading approach and the reading skills of a historian in an interesting and interactive session. \nDate: February 17\, 2022 \nTime: 07.00 pm IST \nAbout the Speaker: \nManan Ahmed\, Associate Professor of History at Columbia University in the City of New York\, is a historian of South Asia and the littoral western Indian Ocean world from 1000-1800 CE. His areas of specialisation include intellectual history in South and Southeast Asia\, critical philosophy of history\, colonial and anti-colonial thought. Two of his books The Loss of Hindustan: The Invention of India (2020) and A Book of Conquest: The Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia (2016) are published by Harvard University Press. \nAbstract: \n“Reading Skills” brings to mind dreadful reading comprehension passages given in schools and courses in communication skills. However\, reading is much more about finding answers to given questions. It is about finding the questions to ask of a passage\, blog\, article\, literary texts\, and historical texts. In this talk and interaction\, Prof Manan Ahmed would walk us through a historian’s approach to reading. The programme is intended to be a part of the department’s larger initiative to organise interactions around “Language and Society” to address all kinds of conversations about language\, communication\, writing\, speaking\, thinking\, and at a deeper level\, about connecting with others.

SUMMARY:Eminent Lecture Series with Prof Haribabu Ejnavarzala
DESCRIPTION:Technology is deeply integrated into the human society. The Department of Management Studies invites you all to the Eminent Lecture Series with our guest Prof Haribabu Ejnavarzala\, for an engaging session on the economic\, social\, and other impacts of new technology on our lives. \nTopic: Technologies are not disembodied artefacts: They are socio-technical systems \nDate: December 22\, 2021 \nTime: 10.30 am IST \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nProf Haribabu Ejnavarzala is an Adjunct Senior Fellow\, Research\, and Information System (RIS) for Developing Countries\, New Delhi and Former Vice-Chancellor-in-Charge\, University of Hyderabad (UoH). \nAbstract: \nTechnologies are socio-technical systems. The forces that shape the development of technology are social\, economic\, cultural\, political\, and ethical in nature. A technology introduced into society has consequences for interrelated domains -social (class\, caste\, gender relations)\, economic\, political\, cultural\, and ethical. Technologies also affect the environment- water\, soil\, air\, and non-human forms of life. In other words\, technologies are embedded in societal and environmental contexts. In order to understand the values and interests underlying the construction of technological innovation and its consequences\, we have to unpack the design of a given technology and its associated practices. Technologies are intricately related to the interests and meaning structures of stakeholders. In this lecture\, I focus on genetic modification of crops to show that it is a socio-technical system deeply connected with interests\, sometimes conflicting interests\, and meanings of relevant stakeholders – farmers who use the technology\, consumers of products produced by genetic modification of crops\, government\, regulatory agencies\, judiciary\, and civil society organisations in the Indian context. In conclusion\, I argue that innovations that promote equity\, inclusivity and justice will have more significant social acceptability. \nPlease join this spirited session with our eminent guest on December 22\, 2021\, at 10.30 am IST for the next edition of Eminent Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture on multiparameter E_0-semigroups
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP is conducting a departmental seminar on November 24\, 2021\, at 3:00 pm. Prof Sundar Sobers from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences\, Chennai\, India will engage the participants on the topic “Multiparameter E_0-semigroups”. \nAbstract of the lecture: \nIn the late eighties\, Powers initiated the study of the 1-parameter semigroup of endomorphisms on B(H). This was further studied intensively by many others during the last three decades led by William Arveson. Although from the physics point of view\, the 1-parameter theory is the most important one\, from the mathematical perspective\, it is not necessary to restrict oneself to 1-parameter\, i.e. the half-line [0\,infty) and we could replace the half-line with any reasonable semigroup’ like convex cones in higher-dimensional Euclidean space. One of the nice features is that the basic theory stays intact while there are significant differences between the 1-parameter theory and the n-parameter theory. I will explain one such phenomenon. \nIn particular\, Prof Sundar Sobers will define the basic examples of E_0-semigroups\, i.e. the CCR and CAR flow associated with isometric representations of the semigroup P. In the multiparameter world\, CCR flows need not be isomorphic to its opposite\, a sharp contrast to the one-parameter situation. \nDon’t forget to join this lecture on November 24\, 2021\, at 3:00 pm which will be helpful to participants who are doing or planning to start a career in the multiparameter E_0-semigroups domain.

SUMMARY:Navier stokes equations: A million dollar open problem
DESCRIPTION:The second lecture in the Distinguished Lecture Series organised by the Department of Mathematics at SRM University-AP will be held on November 10\, 2021\, at 4.30 pm. Prof Amiya Kumar Pani from the Department of Mathematics\, IIT Bombay\, will elucidate the lecture on the topic “Navier Stokes Equations: A Million Dollar Open Problem”. \nOn August 8\, 1900\, David Hilbert delivered his famous lecture about 23 open mathematical problems at the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. This influenced the decision of a recently formed Clay Mathematical Institute (CMI) to announce the seven Millennium Prize Problems in the CMI Millennium Meeting held on May 24\, 2000. One such problem is the theme of the present talk. Now it is widely accepted that the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid with moderate velocity is described by the Navier-Stokes Equations. Although these equations were written down in the 19th century\, the existing mathematical results are not adequate to unfold the secrets hidden in the Navier-Stokes equations. \nIn this talk\, Prof Amiya shall concentrate on a brief description of this problem\, mathematical model\, a quick look at history\, what is known at this point\, some important approaches and what is possibly needed. Finally\, he will conclude the talk with a note on the present state of Indian applied mathematics and whether we are ready to contribute towards this millennium problem. \nAbout the Speaker: \nProf Amiya K Pani is Professor at IIT\, Bombay. He is well known for his research work in the area of numerical approximations of partial differential equations. His expertise includes construction\, stability\, and convergence analysis of finite element methods\, finite difference schemes\, orthogonal spline collocation methods for free boundary problems\, partial integrodifferential equations\, coupled equations in Oil Reservoir Studies\, evolutionary variational inequalities\, and scientific computations for industrial applications. Professor Pani is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Sciences\, India. He was awarded the Best Young Mathematician for his outstanding contributions to Numerical Analysis\, Partial Differential Equations\, and Industrial Mathematics by the Indian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ISIAM). \nTune in to this intriguing lecture on Navier stokes equations on November 10\, 2021\, at 4.30 pm.

SUMMARY:Flipping with the flow – Perspectives of puzzling fluid dynamics and human health
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is organising the first episode of the Distinguished Lecture Series on September 15\, 2021\, Wednesday\, at 6.30 pm. Prof Suman Chakraborty from the Department of Mechanical Engineering\, IIT Kharagpur\, will deliver a lecture titled “Flipping with the Flow – Perspectives of Puzzling Fluid Dynamics and Human Health”. \nAbstract of the Lecture:\nOver the past century\, advancements in fluid dynamics hallmarked deeper studies on complex fluids\, though. Fluid dynamics of blood\, possibly the most critical complex fluid impacting human lives\, is primarily dictated by red blood cells (RBCs) that are flexible biconcave discs spending their lives suspended in blood plasma that is elusively more complex than simple water. Commonly\, RBCs stack together to form structures called rouleaux like cylindrical packs of coins that reform continuously. Contrary to intuition\, instead of clogging\, such reforms result in the easier flow of blood as it passes through extremely narrow channels. An influential theoretical premise of blood flow has been rationalizing this by drawing analogies of RBCs with compound liquid droplets in which the cytoplasm is more viscous than the outer fluid that triggers a series of complex shape transitions. However\, a stiffening of RBC membranes under certain conditions contradicts this analogy and may alter ATP release that happens due to shape deformation. This may signify specific diseased conditions and influence a plethora of ailments ranging from cardiovascular irregularities to cancer metastasis. The role of unique flexibility of microvasculature and morphology of the microenvironment\, dynamical signals of pressure pulsation and disease-specific blood rheology make it extremely deceptive and patient-specific and difficult to model within the known territories of expertise of fluid dynamics. \nProf Suman Chakraborty will discuss here various computational\, in-vitro and in-vivo studies conducted in his research group that have attempted to address some of the pertinent outstanding questions\, unresolved paradoxes\, and will present a deeper challenge that makes even ‘simple’ blood flow strikingly more complicated than its intuitive analogy of pipe flow in engineering fluid mechanics. He will also suggest a way forward with a convergence of physics-based modelling and data science\, where blood flow is not merely perceived as an ‘inert’ physical phenomenon but recognized as an exclusive hallmark of ‘life’ with all individualism intrinsic to humans. \nAbout the Speaker:\nProf Suman Chakraborty received the prestigious Santi Swaroop Bhatnagar Prize and became the youngest Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He has also been a Fellow at the Indian National Science Academy (INSA)\, Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS)\, and Indian National Academy of Science (NASI)\, in addition to being the recipient of the Indo-US Research Fellowship. He is also a recipient of the Scopus Young Scientist Award given by Elsevier for high citations in his research publications\, the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2005)\, and the Young Scientist/Young Engineer Award from various National Academies. He has been bestowed with the Fellowship of the American Physical Society\, the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and the Fellowship of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. \nJoin this educational session on September 15\, 2021\, at 6.30 pm to gain insights from the field expert.
