SUMMARY:FLAME Upskill Series | Workshop 03 | Academia in 2020: Data and Knowledge Production in a Digital World
DESCRIPTION:FLAME Upskill is a series of exclusive workshops for high school students o
 n interdisciplinary topics from various fields spanning humanities, science
 s, artificial intelligence, communication, sports and arts amongst others. 
 The series will focus on helping high school students develop crucial skill
 s necessary for a journey of lifelong learning. The series has been concept
 ualized as a reflection of the liberal education ethos practiced and delive
 red at FLAME University. Attendees will receive a Letter of Participation i
 n appreciation for their efforts during the workshop. These workshops will 
 be conducted for a limited number of participants and selection will be don
 e on a first-come-first-serve basis.\nFor the third workshop, we bring to y
 ou:\nACADEMIA IN 2020: DATA AND KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN A DIGITAL WORLD\nSa
 turday, 17th October, 2020 | 04.00 pm to 05.30 pm\nThe workshop will trace 
 historical debates about how intuition and observation shape human knowledg
 e, and discuss their relevance in today's digital world, where it's commonl
 y believed that data (a set of observations) 'is the new oil'. In particula
 r, the workshop will discuss how this push towards data-driven knowledge ge
 neration has increased the use of data analysis and 'coding' in seemingly u
 nrelated fields of academia, such as biology, economics, psychology, medici
 ne and social sciences.\nSPEAKER\nProf. Kaushik Gopalan | Ph.D. - Electrica
 l Engineering, University of Central Florida, USA; Associate Professor – Co
 mputer Science, FLAME University\nProf. Gopalan holds a doctorate degree in
  Electrical Engineering. From 2008 to 2011, he was a Researcher with the Ea
 rth System Science Interdisciplinary Center, University of Maryland, Colleg
 e Park. He served as a Scientist with the Space Applications Centre - ISRO,
  Ahmedabad from 2011-2020.\nKaushik’s research has involved applying statis
 tical analysis and methods to solve a variety of problems in the field of S
 atellite Remote Sensing, with a focus on the retrieval of geophysical param
 eters from satellite data; conceptually a “statistical inversion” problem w
 here unmeasurable independent variables are inferred using measurable depen
 dent variables. He has contributed to NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission a
 nd Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission, and to ISRO’s Megha - Tropiques, 
 INSAT-3DR, SCATSAT-1 and NAVIC missions in various capacities.\n (https://u
