Description:

Computer Technology at IIT Delhi was started in 1976. It was oneof the earliest courses in the branch of Computer Scienceoffered in India when computers were in their early age ofdevelopment. This was much before the establishment of a separateComputer Science & Engineering department in IIT Delhi. The Computer Technology Group pursuesresearch in broad areas ofComputer Networking, Sensor Networks, Embedded Systems, Parallel and Distributed Processing, Big Data Analysis,CAD for VLSI, Computer Vision and Image Analysis,Biometrics,Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, Data Analytics,Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, Multimedia Systems, Graph Theory, Systems Biology,Bioinformatics, and Music and Audio Processing. The group comprises of faculty members, and PhD,M.S.(Research), M.Techand Dual Degree students. It may be interesting to note that the Computer Technologyprogramme has been selected as one of the top 5 Mastersprogrammes inthe entire institute. There were three programmes from theElectrical Engineering Department in this elite group, the other two programmes being the Integrated Electronics and Circuits(IEC) programme, and the VLSI Design: Tool and Technologies(VDTT) programme (which is jointly run with the Department ofComputer Science and Engineering. This is indeed a great honourfor the group, since the other three Computer-related Mastersprogrammes do not figure in this list of top 5 - the M.Tech inComputer Science and Engineering of the Department of ComputerScience and Engineering, the M.Tech in Computer Applications ofthe Department of Mathematics, and the M.S.(R) of the Shashi andAmar Nath School of Information Technology. We have a set of state-of-the-art set of Masters-level and above courses in Computer Science and Engineering,in five streams: Cognitive and Intelligent Systems,Embedded Intelligent Systems, Computer Communication and Networks,Multimedia Information Processing, and Internet Technologies.Details can be found here.These also form the five thrust areas of research in the group. Faculty members of the group have won many prestigious Nationalawards, and have many sponsored industrial and government projects with them. Some of these includeMultilingual OCRs for Indian Scripts (A Rs.11 croremulti-institutional project, coordinated by the group,sponsored by the MCIT, Government of India)Autonomous Robotics (a Rs.9 crore project involving5 groups, two in the EE Department, sponsored by theBRNS, Government of India)National Programme in Perception Engineering (a Re.1 crore multi-institutionalproject, jointly coordinated by the group, sponsoredby the MCIT, Goverment of India)Currently in Phase II (a multi-institutional project, sponsored by the MCIT, Government of India, with the IITD outlay itself Rs.2.6082 crores)Satellite Communication (a Rs.65 lakhs project,sponsored by the ADA, Government of India)Indian Digital Heritage Project (a multi-institutionalproject coordinated by the group, sponsored by the DST,Goverment of India)The industrial placement of students of the group has always beenclose to 100% - generally, the placement is much better than theother three Computer-related Masters programmes of the Institute.Specific details may be found here.Breaking news (July, 2016):A team from Multimedia lab team (involving C.Tech M.S, M.Tech and Ph.D students) supported by Flytxt (a company with whom the Computer Technology group has a consultancy projectthrough FITT))  has been placed 3rd in this year's KDD Cup among 341 teamsacross the world. This group was guided by Prof. Santanu Chaudhury. Specific details may be foundhere.Breaking news (September, 2016):Dr. Swades De elected as a Fellow of the INAE!
