Profile of the Instructor(s)

Prof. Nagesh Kolagani is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Centurion University of Technology & Management (CUTM), Vizianagaram, AP. He is an alumnus of IIT Madras: B.Tech. (1988), Ph.D. (2016). He has 25+ years of experience in developing IT/GIS solutions for industry, Government, and village stakeholders. He worked earlier as: Software Engineer at Borland Corporation (CA, USA), Project Scientist at IIT Madras, Associate Professor at IIIT Sri City (AP), Head GIS at TN e-Governance Agency, etc.

 

Prof. Abhijit P. Deshpande is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and co-PI of Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) at IIT Madras. He coordinated the activities of RuTAG from 2018 to 2024. Among the technologies developed during this period are the paddy thresher, the automatic coir spinning machine, the groundnut pod separator, the madurkathi handloom mat weaving using electronic jacquard, the vending cart, the frugal hearing aid, and the mango seed decorticator. A fabrication/design platform that aims to enable local fabrication is also being developed.

Feedbacks from Previous Learners

  • The course allowed knowing about the latest tools in GIS and spatial data analysis, and learn the concepts with a hands-on approach
  • The students gained valuable insights into the practical aspects of Spatial data, especially Drone imaging and analysis
  • The course videos and the steps were sufficient to cover the topic and to perform the task. The live sessions were adequate to explain the concepts and give demos.
  • We were fortunate to have professor Kolagani as a faculty for the course who guided us throughout with lot of patience.
  • Live sessions are very well handled by the faculty. He explains everything from scratch and helps us solve assignments
