Research Collaboration with University of Central Florida, USA
 Mr. Steven Lawrence Fernandes, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics Communication Engineering, will be working along with Professor Varadraj Prabhu, University of Central Florida, USA, on a research project entitled "Early Cancer Detection using Machine Learning". The objective of this research project is to develop a Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system as a “second opinion” mechanism for early detection of cancer.
CAD is established by taking into account equally the roles of physicians and computers. With CAD, the performance by computers does not have to be comparable to or better than that by physicians, but needs to be complementary to that by physicians. We intend to develop a CAD system for assisting physicians in the early detection of cancer. Mr. Bharath Bhushan, Assistant Professor, Department of MCA along with B.E. and M.Tech. students will be working on this research project.
