The School of Science and Technology (SST), SRHU, organized a guest lecture on “Blockchain and AI with Insight on Analysis through IBM Watsonx” on May 21, 2025, at Lab-06, SST Building. The session was led by Dr. Mayank Aggarwal from Gurukul Kangri University, Haridwar, who provided an insightful academic discourse on the emerging integration of Blockchain technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). His talk highlighted current research directions, real-world applications, and potential challenges in combining these powerful technologies.
The lecture aimed to bridge theoretical knowledge with industry application, helping students understand how AI and Blockchain are reshaping sectors ranging from finance and healthcare to supply chain and cybersecurity. Dr. Aggarwal also introduced IBM Watsonx—a data and AI platform—demonstrating how it enables intelligent analysis and decision-making using AI models grounded in trustworthy data frameworks. Students actively engaged in Q&A sessions, asking thoughtful questions and reflecting their growing interest in the field.
Coordinated by Dr. Gunjan Chhabra, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, the event successfully encouraged interdisciplinary learning and critical thinking. With over 60 participants, the lecture served as a catalyst for students to explore new-age technologies and consider project work or research in the domains of Blockchain and AI.
By the end of the session, students expressed appreciation for the practical insights and academic depth of the lecture. The event left participants motivated to further explore the role of integrated technologies in solving complex, real-world problems, reinforcing SST’s commitment to keeping students aligned with emerging trends in science and technology.
