About the Speaker
Prof. Naren Naik specialises in the modelling and reconstruction algorithms for tomographic imaging. He is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Centre of Lasers and Photonics at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. His major application thrust in the past few years has been in functional biomedical imaging with fluorescence optical and photoacoustic tomography, as well as electrical impedance and impedance-acoustic tomography.
Abstract of the Talk
Tomography (coming from the Greek (tomos = slice) is the science of computationally quantitatively obtaining (“reconstructing”) the internal structure of a medium of interest from the data obtained by the interaction of an interrogating signal with the medium. It is an inverse problem where computational signal processing frameworks work together with the physics of radiation-matter interaction to yield the desired interior properties of objects of interest. The talk will first aim to introduce the basic ideas involved in biomedical tomographic imaging with an emphasis on optical-based modalities. The reconstruction problem is defined and classified, and the algorithmic framework to solve it is discussed. We will then discuss solutions we have developed for dynamic reconstruction problems in a straight path (a dynamic boundary problem) and pharmacokinetic fluorescence photoacoustic (static boundary but time-varying states) tomographies. The latter problem in pharmacokinetic Imaging has vital applications in early cancer detection and metabolic imaging.

Join to learn more about the integration of AI with Vehicle-to-Everything Communications!
Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications is transforming the landscape of intelligent transportation systems, addressing the increasing demands for safety, efficiency, and scalability in vehicular networks. By leveraging advanced AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, V2X communications can enhance real-time decision-making, predictive analytics, and dynamic resource allocation.
This lecture examines how AI empowers V2X communications to predict and mitigate traffic congestion, improve vehicular coordination in high-mobility scenarios, and enhance safety-critical applications through accident prediction and proactive alerts. It also discusses the role of AI in optimising spectrum usage, power control, and edge computing capabilities, ensuring ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) essential for autonomous driving and platooning.
The discussion delves into the pressing challenges of deploying AI in V2X systems, including data privacy, scalability in dense vehicular networks, and the need for real-time learning under dynamic environments. By highlighting the intersection of AI with 6G technologies, this lecture aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on the transformative potential of AI in shaping the future of vehicular communication systems. This exploration is critical for advancing autonomous transportation and enabling next-generation intelligent mobility.
