Dr.M.Y.Bhanumurthy, Professor in ECE and Dr.Ch.V.Suresh, Professor in EEE received the prestigious ‘Research Excellence Award 2017’ from Institute of Exploring Advances in Engineering (IEAE) for their research contributions on ‘An Automated Detection and Segmentation of Tumor in Brain MRI using Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Multi-area Multi-fuel Economic–Emission Dispatch using a Generalized Unified Power Flow Controller under Practical Constraints’ respectively.
Dr.M.Y.Bhanumurthy said that his research would help the radiologists to precisely determine the location of brain tumors and lesions in the patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. Further, this research would help the doctors to accurately diagnose the disease in a short period of time and provide better treatment. Also, the novel methodologies implemented in this research can be used in various medical image analysis techniques relating to brain disorders.
The awards are instituted by IEAE, which is a professional society based in Bangalore. Every year IEAE invites nominations from research scholars and faculty members of engineering colleges and universities all over the country for Young Researcher Awards and Research Excellence Awards. After a thorough scrutiny, awards are announced for deserving candidates. For the year 2017, out of nearly 500 nominations that were received from all over the country, 40 nominations were shortlisted for the awards. The list of awardees are available in their website http://ieae.in/awards/
Chairman Vasireddy Vidyasagar said that VVIT is providing top class research facilities for their students and faculty. Siemen’s Center of Excellence and Google Code Labs in association with APSSDC were established in the campus for improving the skills of students and staff. Various innovative projects useful to the society were being designed and developed in the campus. The award recipients Dr.M.Y.Bhanumurthy and Dr.Ch.V.Suresh thanked the management for encouraging them in taking up active research in diverse fields of engineering.
