Signal Processing Indian Institute of Science

Overview

Details

Signal Processing occupies a central place in several state-of-the-art disciplines such as Biomedical Imaging, Healthcare, Communication and Information Technology, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomous Systems and Robotics, Data Science, Power Systems, etc. With the quest for building “explainable AI systems” taking center stage, the demand for Signal Processing engineers with a rock-solid foundation in various fundamental courses and advanced topics has increased like never before.

During the past few years, the program at Indian Institute of Science has been strengthened by the recruitment of ten new faculty members in the area. The program has been significantly revamped considering the rapid advances in the fields of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. In its new avatar, the program has a brand new and unique flavor. Students admitted to the program will go through a rigorous foundational module that will equip them with the skill set required to succeed in the program. Subsequently, they can choose a specialization module that best matches their interests and gain mastery and focus on the specialization. The specialization will also form the basis for their Masters projects and strengthen their placement preparedness. The course work is augmented by a strong project component accounting for 28 credits. Most SP graduates in the past have produced work of outstanding quality as part of their Masters projects, which got published in premier IEEE conferences and journals.
