Workshop on “Satellite Image Processing using Machine Learning” at CSE, SST

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering, School of Science & Technology (SST), organized a one-day hands-on workshop on “Satellite Image Processing (Sentinel-2) using Machine Learning” on 17th October 2025. The workshop aimed to familiarize students with Sentinel-2 satellite data and demonstrate the application of Machine Learning algorithms for image classification, analysis, and feature extraction. The session covered key aspects of Sentinel-2 imagery, including its structure, wavelength bands, and multispectral capabilities, along with essential preprocessing techniques like cloud masking and normalization.

During the workshop, Dr. Pooja Baloni introduced participants to the fundamentals of satellite image processing, focusing on concepts such as spectral reflectance, NDVI computation, and classification models. She provided hands-on guidance on implementing K-Means and Random Forest algorithms for Land Use Land Cover (LULC) classification using Sentinel-2 data. Through practical exercises, students gained direct experience in processing satellite imagery, extracting patterns, and visualizing classified results.

The workshop proved highly beneficial as students enhanced their technical understanding of multispectral data processing and the integration of Machine Learning in remote sensing applications. It encouraged interdisciplinary learning by connecting concepts from computer science, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence, inspiring participants to explore research in areas such as environmental monitoring, urban mapping, and agricultural analysis. The session concluded with an engaging Q&A interaction and group photograph, marking the successful completion of a productive and insightful workshop.

International Endowed Chair Professor

Prof Rakesh Kumar

Prof Rakesh Kumar is the Founder and President of the Breast Cancer in Young Women Foundation (USA), dedicated to vaddressing the distinct issues affecting young women with breast cancer. He also serves as the International Endowed Chair Professor at the Cancer Research Institute of the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences. Additionally, he holds adjunct professorships at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Dr Kumar earned his Ph.D. from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1984 and began his research career at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in January 1986. From 1988 to 2017, he held various academic and leadership positions —including faculty member, tenured professor, distinguished professor, endowed chair, department chair, and research leader—at esteemed institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. From 2017 to 2022, he served as the National Chair for Cancer Research for the Government of India and as a distinguished professor, continuing his innovative work in breast cancer research.

With nearly 40 years of research and professional experience, Dr. Kumar has made conceptual contributions to the field of cancer research (h-index 108, citations >50,000). He has authored over 325 peer-reviewed publications, edited or co-edited nine books, and delivered 290 invited lectures worldwide. His work has been featured on the covers of 18 major cancer journals and has been highlighted in institutional research reports of the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

A passionate educator and mentor, Dr. Kumar has guided 67 trainees throughout his career. He serves on the editorial boards of multiple leading cancer journals and has served on the editorial boards of 21 top cancer journals. His global reputation is further demonstrated by his participation in about 100 peer-review panels for cancer research funding in the US and internationally over the past 28 years.

Dr. Kumar's innovative research has earned him numerous prestigious honors, including the Hinkle Society Faculty Award at Penn State University (1994), the Dalla/Fort Worth Living Legend Faculty Achievement Award in Basic Sciences (2004), the Ranbaxy Research Award (2006), and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Association of Indian Scientists in Cancer Research (2013), among others. Dr. Kumar's pioneering research continues to have a profound influence on the fields of oncology and breast cancer, opening up new opportunities for biomedical scientists and trainees worldwide.
