By Aryamaan Jit Singh Bawa
In a pioneering initiative among media schools across Asia, theTimes School of Media , Bennett University , will launch an international Artificial Intelligence (AI ) Research Lab on February 26, 2024. This will be in collaboration with the reputed Innopolis University (IU) of Russia.
A delegation of high-ranking scientists and professors will visit the Bennett University campus on February 26 to sign a memorandum of understanding, interact with students and talk about AI-related start-ups.
The lab will focus on collaborative research projects, interdisciplinary research papers, and Faculty-led initiatives, including webinars and conferences. This research lab will be situated in N Block ((NLA 314), the university’s academic block.
It will present the BU family a valuable opportunity for all departments to explore new research areas and learn about the latest technologies in AI and their applications across diverse fields.
The IU specialises incomputer science , information technology and robotics. Established in 2012, it aims to foster innovation and technological advancement in these fields.
In less than a decade, the university, which stands 13th among the IT universities in Russia and is 21st on the Forbes rankings of Russian universities, has successfully commercialised several products which include driverless cars, trucks, surveillance drones, pharma products and material design projects.
Nobel Laureate in Physics ProfessorSir Konstantin Kostya’ Novoselov is part of their research team.
The AI lab, too, boasts of an impressive leadership profile which includes the likes ofDr Ramil Kuleev , Director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at IU whose expertise lies in developing innovative AI solutions, with a focus on leveraging R&D outcomes for business benefits.
As a project manager and team leader, Kuleev brings extensive technical knowledge, holding a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science. His skills include machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing.
Besides him, Prof Iskander Bariev, Deputy Director and head of the Advanced Engineering School of IU will lend his weight to the project with his expertise in condensed matter physics.
For BU, officiating Vice-Chancellor Ajith Abraham, a prolific researcher in Artificial Intelligence domain with over 1,400 research publications to his credit, will add muscle to the venture and ground it in sincere research projects.
Last but not the least, brightening up the AI research halo of the lab will be TSOM’s Dean Dr Sanjeev Ratna Singh, one of India’s leading digital broadcast leaders with over 23 years’ experience as a journalist, Editor and multimedia content producer in Digital, TV and Print who is now powering media academics with his rich experience as an industry expert.
