Unveiling the Future of Biomedical Imaging with Prof. Naren Naik
2023-10-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is pleased to introduce an exciting and enlightening talk by the esteemed Prof. Naren Naik, a distinguished authority in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur on October 30, 2023 that promises to push the boundaries of biomedical imaging and research. Prof. Naik will explore the captivating realm of “Dynamic Shape-Based Biomedical Tomographic Reconstruction Algorithms.” This topic represents a cutting-edge fusion of engineering and medicine, offering remarkable insights into the future of healthcare and diagnostics.
Prepare to embark on a journey through the intricate world of tomographic reconstruction, where mathematical algorithms and shape dynamics converge to transform how we visualize and understand the human body. Prof. Naik’s expertise and pioneering research in this field will unveil a world of possibilities and innovations that are set to shape the future of biomedical imaging.
Join to unlock the secrets of dynamic shape-based biomedical tomographic reconstruction algorithms!
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.

Amenability of Semihypergroups
2023-11-09 00:00
Abstract: The study of different notions of amenability on a given category of objects, have been one of the most fundamental areas of research in abstract harmonic analysis. In this talk, we first provide a preliminary overview of the category of semihypergroups. As the name itself suggests, the category of semihypergroups can be regarded simply as a natural extension to the category of locally compact semigroups, with abundant examples in different areas of research. We then introduce the concept of amenability in this broader setting, and discuss several characterizations of the same in terms of certain ergodic, stationary, Banach algebraic and hereditary properties of the associated convolutive measure algebras.

Talk 1: Climate Change, Water, and Adaptation
Abstract: This presentation covers the nature and magnitude of the impacts of climate change on water resources and possible coping and adaptation options both from global and national perspectives. The presentation starts with a discussion on the leading causes of climate change, especially the cumulative effects of global warming caused by greenhouse gases and related environmental consequences from human-induced economic activities and ecological disturbances. It, then, shows how the impacts of climate change are manifested both at the global and national scale in terms of the spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation and water availability and the resultant implications for water, agriculture, and economy. Although climate change is caused essentially by non-hydrological factors, the water sector continues to be the main medium through which most of its impacts are transmitted to the agricultural sector in particular and other economic sectors in general. As such, it is but natural for the adaptation/coping strategies also to be designed at the point of the impacted sectors, though, admittedly, general mitigation strategies go far beyond these sectors. The presentation, finally, concludes by delineating feasible adaptation strategies for the water sector, which include not just demand management options but also supply management avenues, especially those involving institutional changes and infrastructural developments.
Talk 2: Social Science Research: Theories, Models, and Empirical Analysis
Abstract: This presentation covers the theoretical, methodological, and empirical aspects of social science research, especially from the perspective of young research scholars. It starts with a discussion on the nature, rationale, features, and types of building blocks of social science theories. After an analytical description of three broad types of models, i.e., simple, interactive, and path-based models, the presentation provides concrete illustrations, particularly for the interactive and path-based models using a few empirical case studies. These illustrative case studies will show how to conceptualize, operationalize, and empirically evaluate the research problems in different contexts. The presentation, finally, concludes with the discussion on some of the additional methodological, practical, and data-related aspects of importance in social science research.
