Webinar on ‘Brain-inspired Technologies for Future Artificial Intelligence’

The Department of Physics in association with its students’ association ‘Epsilon’ organized a webinar on ‘Brain-inspired Technologies for Future Artificial Intelligence’ on 12th June 2021 from 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm for the staff and students of our college. The objective of this webinar was to bring awareness on application of Physics in artificial intelligence. The platform used was Cisco WebEx Meetings. The resource person for the webinar was Dr K.B. Jinesh, Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Space science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Around 130 participants attended the webinar. 

Ms Olivia Sequeira, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics started the webinar with an introduction to the topic. Ms Venita Navya Monteiro, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics welcomed all the participants and also introduced the resource person to the participants. Dr Rajesh Kumar P C, Associate Professor, Department of Physics moderated the session.

The resource person Dr K.B. Jinesh began his talk giving an overview on his workplace Indian Institute of Space science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram and his research area. Later in his talk he briefed on evolution of memory technology, evolution of transistors, sixth generation smart systems connecting computing to artificial intelligence and elaborated on human brain inspired memory technology showing how semiconductor devices emulate a neuron.  He also responded to many queries asked by the participants. 

Dr Rajesh Kumar P C thanked Dr K.B. Jinesh for delivering the talk and also gave the vote of thanks.

It was a very informative session especially for students of I BE Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Computer Science & Engineering branches as they got an idea on what are the future technologies that they can look forward to work in their area.  A very good feedback was received for the webinar in the google form shared by Dr Rajesh K, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics. An e-certificate was given to all the participants for participating in the webinar.
