To bring global expertise locally, Nirma University is actively collaborating with quality international universities. One such collaboration is between the Nirma University and Binghamton University. It is bringing benefit to both the universities. Under faculty exchange activity Prof Sang Won Yoon from Binghamton University, New York, USA visited Nirma University campus during October 08-12, 2018.
An expert in Big Data Analytics, Prof. Yoon works as an Associate Professor at Binghamton University. His area of interest includes integrated production and service systems, healthcare systems engineering, system optimization, production control systems, large-scale data mining. He is working on several industries funded multidisciplinary projects. He did his PhD from Purdue University and MS from Korea University.
Data Analytics is one of the fastest upcoming areas in computer engineering and to add the global perspective was the objective of his visit. The course is part of an elective course for the Semester VII students. This initiative provided students with the opportunity to experience international teaching methodology and gave an insight into different case studies derived from his diverse projects done.
