The Department of Information Technology, Jagan Institute of Management Studies (JIMS), Sector-5, Rohini, New Delhi, organized a five-day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) from 6th to 10th January 2025 on the theme “Application of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in Research.” The objective of the FDP was to enrich faculty members with emerging trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL), highlighting their transformative impact across research domains including healthcare, cybersecurity, robotics, and academic publication.
The programme saw enthusiastic participation from 47 faculty members representing various institutions. It aimed to provide theoretical knowledge, hands-on exposure, and practical tools for integrating AI and DL into research. Topics such as deep learning models, AI with IoT, cybersecurity, robotics, and quality research publication were covered.
The sessions were conducted by eminent experts:
-
Dr. Anuradha Chug (USICT) explained deep learning architectures like CNN, clustering, and AI applications including decision trees and ML algorithms.
-
Dr. A.K. Mohapatra (IGDTUW) focused on cybersecurity, cybercrime threats, and data protection practices.
-
Dr. Rajendra (GGSIPU) elaborated on robotics, AI integration in robot design, and their interdisciplinary significance.
-
Dr. Mithilesh Kumar Dubey (LPU) motivated participants towards quality research and publications in Scopus/Sci-indexed journals, along with insights on IPR and copyright.
The FDP successfully met its goals of knowledge dissemination, promoting collaborative learning, and equipping faculty with modern tools for AI-driven research. The interactive sessions encouraged innovation, peer exchange, and laid a foundation for interdisciplinary academic growth.
