Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Based R&D Interventions: Proceedings of NERC 2022

This book title is a composition of multiple research efforts that are based on cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Some of the signal processing problems are addressed with techniques from the broad areas of machine learning and deep learning.

Dr. Ratnajit Bhattacharjee joined IIT Guwahati in the year 2002 and currently is a Professor in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. His research interests include Wireless communication, Wireless networks, Microstrip antennas, Microwave Engineering and Electromagnetics. He has co-authored about one hundred and sixty research papers. Nineteen research students have completed their PhD under his supervision and at present several research scholars are working under his guidance. He has served as a General Chair for 5th edition of IEEE Applied Electromagnetic Conference, AEMC 2015 and 22nd National Conference on Communications, NCC 2016, Chair for the 18th National Power System Conference, NPSC 2014 . He has served as Head, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati, from 2011 to 2014. He has delivered invited talks in a number of conferences, symposia and workshops. He has developed a web course on Electromagnetic theory and MOOC video course on Microwave Engineering under NPTEL. He has also been involved with several research projects. He is institute coordinator for the ongoing Virtual Lab project of Ministry of Education and served as the Chief Investigator for Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) sponsored project for setting up of an Electronics & ICT academy at IIT Guwahati. He is a member of the Research Advisory Committee of SAMEER (Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering & Research). He is presently Head for the Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, IIT Guwahati and also Head of the Computer Communication Centre, IIT Guwahati. Prior to joining IIT Guwahati, he served as a faculty member in REC (at present NIT) Silchar from 1991 to 2002.
