The inaugural ceremony of the SERB-sponsored One-week High-End Karyashala Workshop on “Deep Learning for Biomedical Signal Processing” is conducted by the Department of ECE, on 13.05.2024 at Mini-Conference Hall, Guest House, NIT Puducherry.
The event was inaugurated by Chief Guest Dr.Kusa Kumar Shaha, (Dean, JIPMER, Karaikal) in the presence of Dean R &C Dr. G. S. Mahapatra, Professor Dr. Jyotindra S. Sahambi, IIT Ropa, Dr. Malaya Kumar Nath (Asst Professor, HoD, and event organizer, Karyashala), Deans, HoDs, Faculties, Staffs, Research Scholars, Students, and participants. Director Dr. Makarand Madhao Ghangrekar and Registrar Dr. S. Sundaravarathan wished the workshop a grand success.
Dr. Shaha discussed the importance of biomedical signal processing for patient diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. As the field continues to evolve, its contributions to medical science and healthcare will undoubtedly expand, driven by technological advancements, research, and ethical practice.
The event coordinator, Dr. Malaya Kumar Nath has said that, the workshop will help the participants gain knowledge in deep learning, signal processing, machine learning, and their application for identifying diagnostic information from medical images and signals to improve healthcare and understand gaps and challenges in the medical field. This workshop collaborates with industry, academia, medical centres, and research organizations. This forum will discuss healthcare issues and how artificial intelligence (AI) might help solve them for a better living in the digital age.
