Ms. Maneesha V Ramesh, faculty of CSE, and Brni. Rehna Raj, Research Associate, from Amritapuri campus, are visiting various European universities. Ms. Maneesha is the lead for the project funded by the European Commission, called WINSOC (www.winsoc.org). This very interesting project explores the development and experimental deployment of clusters of wireless sensor networks interconnected by satellite networks for wide area monitoring of landslides. Maneesha has presented the research updates at the European Commission in Belgium. She is also presenting her research work titled: "Using Wireless Sensor Networks to Detect Rainfall Induced Landslides" at the different European Universities. The research team is using this opportunity to visit many universities in Europe to brief on research activities and other opportunities for both faculty and students at Amrita University. These include expenses paid, teaching opportunities, and research at Amrita for faculty from European universities. The team met prominent professors and researchers at the following European Universities. |
