BANGALORE: After a successful placement session, the student of Acharya Institute of Technology have now been selected to carry out research projects at Old Dominion University, Virginia, United States which is known worldwide for its research and development projects.As per the understanding between AIT and ODU, a few outstanding students of Technology, interested in carrying out research in various topics, have been selected by Professor Ajay Gupta, Director of Computer Resources in the department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University for the ODU projects, during his visit to Acharya Campus recently.Ajay Gupta appreciated the work done by the students and promised to invite some of the students to visit Old Dominion University as research assistants. Currently, a student called Ashwini Prasad has already undertaken a project on the iPhone Application at Old Dominion University. The Department of CSE has also conducted a selection process to select eligible students for the project and four teams have been selected for the current academic year. The four teams will be undertaking projects in spray routing, satellite image registration, mobile cloud robotics and grid computing. Prachi Sharma and Sana Parween, fifth semester Computer Science students at Acharya, have also got selected for the ODU project. They are interested to take up a research project on copyright protection and user authentication“The selection process was very challenging and competitive. We had a written test in the first round which tested our aptitude, logical reasoning, programming ability and problem analysing skills. We will be visiting ODU for a duration of one month. After that if we want to continue our studies there, the University will facilitate us with its scholarship schemes. So, we consider it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to associate ourselves with a university of that stature,” says Prachi Sharma.“The MOU signed with ODU has enhanced the research interest in our students and they are getting exposed to the areas of cloud computing, video processing and brain computer interface. As per this understanding, we encourage students to propose research ideas and directions are given to come out with a working prototype. The students who are successful in building the working prototype are sponsored to visit ODU to extend their projects or to pursue higher studies in their areas of interest“, informs Dr C M Prashanth, HOD, Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
