The Department of Computer Science & Engineering, in collaboration with the Training and Placement Cell of Aliah University, successfully organized an International Seminar on “AI Vision-Language Models for Remote Sensing in Industrial Usage” on 27th February, 2026 at the New Town Campus of the University.

The seminar aimed to bring together academicians, researchers, industry experts, and students to deliberate on recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and explore their transformative applications in remote sensing for industrial solutions. The event provided a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary discussion, and industry–academia interaction.

The Keynote address was delivered by Konrad Dürrbeck, Head of Data-Centric Spatial Research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, Nuremberg, Germany. In his insightful talk, he highlighted the evolving role of AI-driven vision-language models in industrial remote sensing, emphasizing real-world case studies, data-centric approaches, and future research directions.

The seminar witnessed enthusiastic participation from faculty members, research scholars, and students, making it a significant academic event that strengthened global collaboration and promoted cutting-edge research in AI and remote sensing technologies.

The Institution's Innovation Council (IIC-AU) successfully concluded the workshop on "AI & Innovation Sprints: Rapid Prototyping for Digital Transformation." It was an intensive day dedicated to the tools that are reshaping the digital landscape.
We were honored to have the support of our university leadership at the inaugural session, including the Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Dean (S&T), and Dean (H&L). Their presence underscores Aliah University’s commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Session Highlights:
AI & LLM Innovation Sprints: Prof. Souvik Sengupta (Dept. of CSE) led a deep dive into Large Language Models and rapid AI prototyping, showing how speed and intelligence meet in modern development.
From Idea to IoT Prototype: Dr. Quazi Md. Alfred (Dept. of ECE) provided a masterclass on turning conceptual ideas into tangible prototypes using IoT technologies.
The energy in the room was palpable during the interactive sessions, with participants engaging deeply with our resource persons to solve real-world digital challenges.
A huge thanks to our dedicated IIC Team led by Prof. Abhishek Das, President, IIC-AU and Dr. Aznarul Islam, Convener, IIC -AU, our enthusiastic student members, and our brilliant speakers for making this event a resounding success. Dr.Shashi Bhushan Mishra, IIC Member was the Emcee for the event.
Onward to the next sprint!
