2024 BROCHURE
Welcome
Message
The Computer Science and
Engineering Department at IIT
Hyderabad has been growing
steadily since its inception in 2008,
and is one of the most sought after
destinations for incoming students
as well as faculty. The department
faculty comprises 26 faculty
members with a good
representation in the areas of
theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence/machine Antony Franklin
learning, and computer systems HoD & Professor
areas.

Computer Science is entering an exciting era with the advent of areas

like machine learning, quantum computing, cybersecurity and next
generation communications. Our department is well-equipped and
deeply involved in research and development in all these areas.
CSE@IITH fosters an environment where students and faculty work
together and contribute to these efforts. We also have deep rooted
collaborations with academia, industry and government agencies in
these endeavours.

This brochure provides an overview of the various activities and

achievements of our department over the years. Happy reading!

Societal Impact
Projects with Societal Impact

Live Analysis of UPI Payments in NPCI:

Data mining-based live analysis of UPI payments in collaboration with the
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). We are proud to be a part of
one of the most exciting contributions of India towards the world's digitization.

Analyzing and Improving Urban Transportation:

The M2Smart (Smart Cities for Emerging Countries based on Sensing, Network
and Big Data Analysis of Multimodal Regional Transport System) is a joint
research project under Japan’s SATREPS program between IIT Hyderabad,
Nihon University, Japan, Nagoya Electric Works Co. Ltd, Tokyo Institute of
Technology, and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). The project looked
into development of technologies for collecting, processing, modelling and
providing traffic information in the IITH campus using various sensing
technologies,wireless communication technologies and big data processing
techniques, developed by various approaches in the testbed, generated by
integrating these technologies. It also considered the system to promote
multimodal by providing traffic information to users and at the same time to
improve traffic management, and confirm policies to implement this system
socially through field experiments in Ahmedabad city. This project installed
sensors and monitored traffic-related parameters near IIT Hyderabad campus
and in Ahmedabad city longitudinally, and made several contributions to
improving traffic flow in both these urban areas. Vision-based systems to
detect unique traffic violations and road crimes (such as wearing of helmet and
chain-snatching) were also developed.

Disaster Management Systems:

As one of the earliest efforts in the unique Indo-Japan partnership manifested
in IIT-Hyderabad, the DISANET (Information Networks for Natural Disaster
Mitigation and Recovery) project focused on mitigating the after-effects of
natural disasters. This project resulted in the development of web portals and
apps to mitigate disaster aftereffects and enable quick recovery and support.
Our faculty's social media aggregator was also used during the Kerala floods of
2018 to collate resources and support for the flood victims.

Tax Fraud Analytics:

Live ongoing implementation of data science-based methods to analyze
taxation data, and highlight cases of potential fraud. This effort has led to
savings of over several crores of rupees to the state exchequer.

Societal Impact
Projects with Societal Impact

Institution Mentoring:
IIT-Bhilai: Responsible for initial set up of curricula, teaching, campus
development, computer centre, and faculty recruitment from inception, 2016-18.
IIIT-Raichur: Responsible for complete management of the CSE department
including curricula, teaching, faculty recruitment, student mentoring from 2022-
2023.
Central University of Karnataka, Kalaburagi: 2018-2019, mentored the CSE
Department.

Towards 5G,V2X, and Beyond:

Our faculty members are involved in the “Indigenous 5G Testbed” project funded
by Dept. of Telecom (DoT), Govt. of India and "V2X Pilot Study" project funded by
Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan. Various network functions of 5G Core network
are developed as per 3GPP specifications with network intelligent for delivering
highly available, reliable, resilient, and secure slice services for diverse use cases
of 5G and beyond. The IITH 5G Core is also tested for interoperability with both
in-house and open-source 5G base stations and smartphones. Vehicles fitted
with Vehicle-to-anything (V2X) radios and ITS apps are used to demonstrate
various benefits of ITS technology for road users in India.

Data Science for Agriculture:

Our faculty members have also been involved in an Indo-Japan multi-institutional
collaboration to collect, analyze and deploy data science-based technology
solutions for agriculture. This effort, which includes the P Jaishankar Telangana
State Agricultural University, has resulted in a longitudinal collection of sensor
data in rice paddy and maize farms with different genotypes and phenotypes. We
have also actively contributed to the AI for Agriculture challenge organized by
NASSCOM and the Telangana government.

Academic Information Management System:

The Academic Information Management System (AIMS) system that ran IIT-
Hyderabad's ecosystem including academics, reporting, human resource
management and infrastructure management for a large part of the last decade,
was a home-grown software created by a CSE faculty from design to deployment
as part of an entrepreneurial effort. Not to forget, this system has also been
deployed at other academic institutions across the country!
