The physical world is gradually changing as Cyber world to achieve quick and cost saving communication and actions. The global Covid’19 pandemic has brought a huge rise in Cyber connectivity such as work from home, shopping online, virtual classroom, etc. Although the Cyber/digital communication is an efficient mode, there are drawbacks and the significant one is the Cyber Attack. This is a major threat not only to the individual and organization. A Cyber security firm has reported that 400 percent increase in at- tempted hacks since February 2020.

This national conference aims to concretize various business rules related to academics, administration and financial aspects of FAP such that a 4 year pilot run of FAP (initially for technical education) may be conducted through a consortium of institutes/universities w.e.f. the academic year 2022-23.

To encourage undergraduate research, CCC announces a six to eight-week-long Summer Research Internship Program during the summer vacation period of 2021.

The rapid advancement in the area of Optical Networks provides excellent capacity in terms of Bandwidth. Here, the Optical Network is being used as the backbone network. The aim of this Workshop is to update the knowledge of the participants towards Optical Network and Photonics principles. This workshop will also introduce the participants to the current practices in the field and will help in developing the research aptitude in this area. The topics to be covered are Introduction to Optical Networks and Routing Techniques, Modulation/DeModulation Techniques in Optical Network, Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM), WDM/Single and Multi Hop Networks, Protection and Restoration in Optical Networks, Deep Learning for Design of Photonic Structure, Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) and Plasmonics Network, etc. Lectures and Lab/Hands-On Sessions would help to understand it in better way.

Data analysis is a multi-disciplinary area that uses scientific methods, algorithms and systems to extract hidden knowledge and insights from data (Structured and Unstructured). Analysis of large amounts of structured and unstructured data to identify patterns can help an organization in many ways. Data analytics is a confluence of mathematics, statistics and computer science disciplines, and incorporates techniques like machine learning, cluster analysis, data mining and visualization. Hence, it is important to bring awareness among researchers & academicians and train manpower on applications of data analytics to do innovative research work, projects, and create knowledge base. This workshop aims to capture the application areas of Data Science. Few areas are 1. Banking and Finance- solving business problems; business and market correlations; fraud and risk detection etc. 2. Smart City Planning and developmentenergy management; traffic data analysis etc. 3. Health care supply chain- predicting disease outbreak, optimize treatment and patient flow etc. 4. Time Series Analytics- reveals associated trends and patterns in data; weather forecasting; stock market prediction etc. 5. Social media and multimedia data analysis behavior analysis, recommender system etc. 6. Astro data analysis – discovery; precision; prediction etc

The short term course on Advances in Biometrics is intended to provide an advanced level understanding of Machine Learning and Deep Learning based methods being developed and used for effective biometrics recognition using various modalities, i.e. Face, Iris, Retina, Hand & Palm, etc. The course will also uncover the problem of deliberate occlusion under covid like scenarios where biometric recognition is necessary with forcing the subjects to remove the face masks and maintaining the ease of collectability of the facial biometric.

An online self-sponsored Short Term Course on “2-D Materials: Atoms to Devices” is designed to provide the theoretical background as well as a hands-on approach to computational investigations of different parameters of 2-D Materials using Density Functional Theory. The course will mainly target the teachers, scientists, young researchers, and enthusiastic UG students to familiarize deep insights into the physics behind two-dimensional materials and their several applications in the field of Optoelectronics, thermoelectric, energy storage, magnetic semiconductors, and spintronics devices, etc.
