SUMMARY:University Distinguished Lecture Series 01: Prof Ajay K Sood on "Doing Science Without Borders"
DESCRIPTION:SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh is organizing University Distinguished Lecture Series. The first edition of the series is arranged on October 17\, 2020\, at 3 p.m.\, where Prof Ajay K Sood\, Fellow of the Royal Society\, FRS and Honorary Professor\, Indian Institute of Science (IISc)\, Bengaluru\, will be delivering a lecture on “Doing Science Without Borders”. In the recent times\, humanity is facing several challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic\, climate change\, and energy and food crises. Scientific and evidence-based inputs from various disciplines of natural science\, engineering\, as well as humanities is essential for the world to thrive. \nThis inter-disciplinary approach with active collaboration amongst experts across different spheres will assist in synthesizing a complete understanding of the issues. Prof Ajay K Sood will speak on his recent works such as “Emergent phenomena of flocking seen in birds\, fishes and humans”\, “Machine learning in understanding a few century-old problem of devitrification of glasses”\, and “Making of nanoscale bacterial heat engines”. Drawing examples from his aforementioned works\, Prof Ajay K Sood will narrate the power of collaboration in doing creative basic science. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Prof Ajay K Sood\, FRS delivered the University Distinguished Lecture 01
DESCRIPTION:Prof A K Sood on “Doing Science Without Borders”: Collaboration and curiosity among researchers will lead to impactful multidisciplinary solutions of the 21st century \nThe first University Distinguished Lecture on “Doing Science Without Borders” commenced with an inaugural welcome speech by Prof V S Rao\, Vice-Chancellor\, and Prof D Narayana Rao\, Pro-Vice-Chancellor\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh. Prof V S Rao expressed their gratitude to Prof Ajay K Sood for his gracious presence. Prof Narayana Rao emphasized that under the University Distinguished Lecture series\, the talks will be delivered by eminent scientists from India and abroad that would be of immense benefit for students and the faculty and researchers. He further mentioned\, “Doctors\, researchers\, engineers and scientists from several fields of knowledge around the world worked together to confront corona outbreak with an unprecedented spirit of collaboration. Also\, NEP advocates and emphasizes that the societal need of the 21st century require broad-based multidisciplinary research and education”. \nProf Ajay K Sood\, Fellow of the Royal Society\, FRS and Honorary Professor\, Indian Institute of Science (IISc)\, Bengaluru\, narrated three stories of his recent experiments and advanced research work\, namely “Emergent flocking behaviour seen in nature: Laboratory experiments”\, “Crystallization of Glass: Machine Learning in condensed matter Physics”\, and “Bacterial Nano Heat Engine: Getting bacteria to work”. He begins by stating that back in 1944\, a profound physicist Schrodinger introduced the concept of “aperiodic crystal” which led to the understanding of genetic molecules\, enunciating the importance of inter-disciplinary applications of scientific works. In his first narrative\, he speaks of the flocking movement among birds\, bacteria\, locusts\, and human beings as well. He brought the same experiment in his laboratory where he used 2 particles\, energized them\, and identified their flocking pattern. He observed that the velocity of movement between the two particles differ\, which can be applied to particle sorting. This experiment has applications in biology\, where bacteria and/or cells can be sorted and separated and also in autonomous cars. \nWhile explaining his second experiment\, Prof A K Sood mentioned that he studied the devitrification or the tendency of glass particles to crystallize over time to reach a state of stability from its metastable state. He used supervised Machine Learning to predict where crystallization will occur in glass. His team trained the system to identify the hard and soft particles of the glass. His experiments concluded that Machine Learning (ML) helps in identifying the soft particles\, which possess the tendency to move and crystallize over a long period of time. Further\, Prof A K Sood and his team of collaborators developed bacterial nano heat engines by mimicking the biological motors in our body which produces energy for living beings to function. Using bacterial activity\, they made heat engines and are advancing their research work to recognize the practical applications of the nano heat engines in cars\, batteries. The bacteria heat engines is a highly promising technology of the future. \nProf A K Sood narrated his laboratory stories to explicate the splendor of multidisciplinary research which can be used to solve basic problems. He said\, “The key to successful scientific research is to collaborate with experts beyond their own domain. Communication and appreciation of views of an open mind enable the scientists to understand the various phenomena. Students and researchers should be curious which will lead to research having various interdisciplinary applications that will make an impact across various domains.” \nAbout thousand participants from IISc\,IITs\, NITs\,IIITs\, IISERs\, several Indian Universities including University of Hyderabad\, Delhi University\, NEHU\, Pondicherry University\, Punjab University; a few foreign Universities including KAUST\, Saudi Arabia\, Nagoya University\, Japan\, Zhejiang Ocean University\, China\, Teesside University\, UK\, several Engineering Colleges; National Laboratories of DST\, DBT\, CSIR\, ISRO\, DRDO\, ICMR\, BARC\, JNCASR\, ARIES\, ARCI; industries including ARBL\, Tata Steel have attended the distinguished lecture given by Prof Ajay Sood.

SUMMARY:University Distinguished Lecture Series 02: Prof N Balakrishnan on Data to Discovery in Information Security
DESCRIPTION:SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh has arranged the University Distinguished Lecture Series 02 on October 31\, 2020 at 3 PM. Prof N Balakrishnan\, Super Computer Education and Research Centre\, Honorary Professor\, Indian Institute of Science (IISc.)\, Bengaluru will be delivering a lecture on Data to Discovery in Information Security during the webinar. The guest speaker is a visiting professor at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research\, Institute for Software Research International\, and Carnegie Mellon University. Also\, he is the director of the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management\, Industrial Finance Corporation of India\, Bharat Sanchar Nigam\, and the Data Security Council of India. The Government of India honoured him with the civilian award of Padma Shri in 2002. \nPresently\, Prof N Balakrishnan is heading the National Supercomputing Mission of India approved by the Government of India. In addition\, he is a former member of the National Security Advisory Board and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India along with being the former Deputy Managing Director of El Forge Ltd. Further\, he held the posts of a director at C-DOT Alcatel Lucent Research Centre\, Bharat Electronics\, and Central Bank of India. Most prominently\, Prof N Balakrishnan is renowned for his contribution in the establishment of the National Centre for Science Information\, and Supercomputer Education Research Centre\, in 1984\, and 1994 respectively\, at the Indian Institute of Science. \n\n\nDuring his lecture\, Prof N Balakrishnan will focus on demonstrating the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in discovering the ever-increasing quantity of data in computer networks. Splitting his lecture into two segments\, Prof N Balakrishnan will initiate the session by describing the concept “Revenge of Silicon” that clearly establishes the inevitability of the birth of big data and AI. Further\, he will share insights regarding his research on the use of ML in handling large volumes of network data to enhance the performance of Intrusion Detection Systems\, detecting structured botnets at infrastructure level traffic\, malware detection\, and classification for offline and online streaming data. Proceeding with the talk\, he will dedicate the second half of his lecture in explaining Influence maximization and mobility\, and churn prediction for a large population of a city which depend on large volumes of data from social media and Call Data Records (CDR). These concepts have significance in establishing smart cities\, smart businesses\, and smart economy. \n\n\n\n
