The three researchers to receive IIT Madras RBCDSAI fellowship are Professor Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Professor Sriraam Natarajan and Professor Krithi Ramamritham.
IIT Madras RBCDSAI distinguished fellowship was provided to the three noted researchers in recognition of their valuable contributions to the field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Professor Srinivasan Parthasarathy who received IIT Madras RBCDSAI fellowship is professor from Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Department of Biomedical Informatics at Ohio State University.
The second one to receive IIT Madras RBCDSAI fellowship is Professor Sriraam Natarajan, he is the director of Centre of Machine Learning at University of Texas at Dallas.
Professor Krithi Ramamritham who also won the IIT Madras RBCDSAI fellowship is a chair professor in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Massachusetts.
IIT Madras RBCDSAI gives great fellowships to researchers
IIT Madras RBCDSAI (Robert Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence) is holding a series of events as a part of welcoming the distinguished fellows.
Head of IIT Madras RBCDSAI Professor B. Ravindran said they are honoured that these distinguished researchers accepted their request to be associated with their centre as fellows.
‘We look forward to improving the research impact and global visibility of RBCDSAI with their advice and our continued collaboration,’ said head of IIT Madras RBCDSAI.
IIT Madras RBCDSAI was established in 2017 August with a vision to expand and further the research, education and outreach activities in the areas of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
IIT Madras RBCDSAI comprises faculty from several departments across the Institute, who carry out research in various areas of data science and artificial intelligence.
It is interesting to note that IIT Madras RBCDSAI is a unique centre playing a vital role in enhancing fundamental and applied research in data sciences.
IIT Madras RBCDSAI is the leading interdisciplinary Data Science and AI centre in India and one of the few centres in the world focussing on applications in various engineering disciplines.
It has one of the largest groups in India looking at networked data across different disciplines and the top Deep Reinforcement Learning group.
