The Office of International Affairs, in a strategic academic collaboration with the School of Computing at SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Tiruchirappalli, successfully hosted an insightful and high-level guest lecture titled "Modern Neural Network Architecture: GNN & ZNN" on 4th February 2026. The event took place at the IST 611 venue on the 6th floor of the SRMIST building, drawing a significant audience of students, researchers, and faculty members eager to explore the frontiers of artificial intelligence. The session was led by the distinguished Dr. Predrag S. Stanimirović, a Professor from the Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Department of Computer Science at the University of Nis, Serbia. Dr. Stanimirović, a renowned expert in computational mathematics, provided a comprehensive deep dive into two specialized and evolving fields of neural modeling. The core of the lecture focused on the structural intricacies and mathematical foundations of Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and Zeroing Neural Networks (ZNN). Dr. Stanimirović explained how GNNs revolutionize the processing of non-Euclidean data, allowing for sophisticated analysis of relational data such as social networks, molecular structures, and recommendation systems. He further transitioned into the technical complexities of Zeroing Neural Networks (ZNN), emphasizing their unique capability to solve time-varying problems and complex matrix equations in real-time—a critical requirement for advanced robotics and control systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical mathematical models and practical computational applications, the lecture provided the attendees with a rare international perspective on how these architectures are shaping the next generation of AI. This academic exchange not only enriched the technical knowledge of the participants but also fostered a spirit of global research collaboration between the Indian and Serbian academic communities.
The Office of International Affairs, in collaboration with the School of Computing and the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Tiruchirappalli, organized a comprehensive international seminar titled "IoT-Driven Green Energy Architectures: Edge Electronics for Sustainable Smart Buildings." The program was meticulously designed to address the increasing global demand for energy-efficient infrastructure by exploring the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks within modern construction. By focusing on "Edge Electronics," the seminar highlighted a shift from centralized data processing to localized, real-time intelligence, which significantly reduces latency and power consumption in large-scale building management systems. This interdisciplinary initiative provided a platform for students and faculty to understand the synergy between advanced hardware design and intelligent software, both of which are essential for the next generation of sustainable urban development. The successful implementation of the seminar was also guided by the strategic leadership of the Dean Academics, who ensures that such international exposures are seamlessly integrated into the student learning experience. Furthermore, the academic execution was facilitated by Dr. R. Jagadeesh Kannan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, whose focus on aligning engineering curricula with emerging industrial trends provided participants with practical, research-oriented insights. The seminar not only enriched the technical knowledge of the attendees but also reinforced to producing engineers capable of solving complex environmental and technological challenges on a global scale.
