SPARC-sponsored workshop
Dr. Tanmay Datta had a wonderful experience delivering a talk last week at the two-day SPARC-sponsored workshop on "Role of AI & Software in Transforming Education", held at National Institute of Technology Silchar from 22nd to 23rd July 2025.
It was an engaging platform to exchange ideas on how AI can meaningfully impact the education and research ecosystem, especially in the Indian context.
Grateful to have shared the stage and some great conversations with Prof. Hari Garg (National University of Singapore), Dr. Ranjay Hazra, and Dr. Shivendra Kumar Pandey — thank you for the warm hospitality and the invite. It was truly a memorable visit, both intellectually and personally.
Research Talk by Dr. Naveen Sisodia
We were delighted to host Dr. Naveen Sisodia from IIT Gandhinagar for a thought-provoking talk on "Magnetic Skyrmions for Memory and Computing Applications"
Held on 14th July in Department of EEE at IIT Guwahati supported by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Guwahati chapter.
Dr. Sisodia shared exciting insights into skyrmion-based devices and their promise for next-generation memory and logic applications. The session was followed by a stimulating research discussion with our team.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Naveen for visiting us, sharing his expertise, and engaging in such meaningful discussions and visiting Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati.
