Academics
M. Tech. Wireless Networks & Applications (Specialising in IoT, LTE, 5G, Sensor Networks)
This M-Tech programme is intended to generate trained academic and research personnel in the highly demanding, useful and emerging area of wireless networks. The programme includes core subjects from Wireless Communications, Computer Science, Computer networks, advanced topics in wireless communications, mobile computing, sensor networks, embedded systems, signal processing, multimedia systems and applications such as landslide detection, environmental monitoring, etc.
M. Tech. in Geoinformatics and Earth Observation
The program utilizes a multidisciplinary curriculum that introduces a wide spectrum of geospatial data analysis for multi-hazard risk assessment and disaster risk reduction. An opportunity for students to acquire detailed/systematic knowledge and critical understanding of spatial environment-related processes (including state of the art technologies for data collection and analysis), as well as the ability to independently develop innovative solutions for complex problems in the area of environment, helping them to become a valuable part in national and global efforts of climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, urban planning and creating disaster resilient communities.
M. Tech. in Biomedical Instrumentation and Signal Processing
We developed a highly multidisciplinary curriculum based on our experience in developing wearable systems for remote patient monitoring, effective analysis and learning of interrelated parameters using Big Data Analytics, IoT systems, Machine Learning and Blockchain Technologies. This course covers advanced Biomedical Instrumentation and Signal Processing, application of Machine Learning for image processing, real time signal processing, Deep Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic in medicines and medical imaging techniques
