How One Of IIITH’s Oldest Centres Is Reshaping Communications Tech

If you have ever wondered what underlies research in futuristic technologies, then the Signal Processing and Communications Research Centre at IIITH is a good place to start at. Some current/futuristic technologies related to which the researchers in SPCRC work on include graph signal processing, satellite-based IoT networks, reflecting intelligent surface based communication, DNA storage, quantum computing, security and privacy. Here’s a sneak peek into the broad areas of research that are carried out at one of the oldest centres of IIITH. In nature, signals are everywhere. Speech, audio, images, sensory data, ECG signals, EEG signals, astronomical signals and many many more are all signals and to extract useful information from them is the art/science of signal processing. At IIITH, Prof. Santosh Nannuru and Prof. Praful Mankar work in different aspects of signal processing – graph signal processing and localization and tracking.
