Happy to share that our @Indiaacm summer school on AI for Social Good @cse_iitgn @iitgn (co-organized with @adagu and co-sponsored by @TCSResearch , @netwebtech) started on 2nd June (runs till 13th June) at IIT Gandhinagar. Wonderful set of talks from leaders across industry,

Working on energy, climate, or sustainability, health with AI or sensing?. Happy to connect. More on our lab: #NILMTK #AIforSustainability #SIGEnergy #OpenScience #TestOfTime #NILM #ACMeEnergy #ClimateTech.

🌟 Rising Star Award recognizes young researchers for impactful work. Thank you to the @ACM_SIGEnergy community for this incredible encouragement. Reproducibility, scalability, uncertainty — at the heart of our research on NILM, energy, and sustainability.

🏆 Test of Time Award is given to papers that shaped future energy systems + informatics. Thank you to co-authors + mentors who made this possible:. My advisors: @Zen_amarjeet and Kamin Whitehouse. My co-authors and mentors: Pandarasamy Arjunan, vibhuti bansal, Mario Berges,.

🧠 NILMTK began as a PhD project in 2013 to unify the NILM field. ➕ 16+ datasets.➕ 700+ citations.➕ Used across every continent.➕ Built by a global open-source community.

🎉 Two awards. One moment. A decade of open science. Today at #ACMeEnergy 2025, I was honored to receive:. 🏆 Test of Time Award for #NILMTK.🌟 ACM SIGEnergy Rising Star Award.A short story of gratitude 👇

Next, we were honored to host Dr. Vaibhav Rajan from Google DeepMind, who shared a compelling session on "Personalized Treatment Planning Models for Cancer.". His talk bridged ML with healthcare, showing how predictive modeling and patient-specific data can transform cancer

Next session, Prof. Manisha Padala, Assistant Professor in the Department of CSE at IIT Gandhinagar, delivered a deeply analytical talk on "Adversarial Attack on Fairness in Federated Learning.". She addressed fairness vulnerabilities in FL models, demonstrating how adversarial

Day 8 of the ACM Summer School started with my session on "Brick Kilns from Orbit: Detection, Benchmarking, and Compliance in South Asia.". I shared how we’re using satellite imagery and AI/ML techniques to detect unregulated brick kilns, monitor emissions, and benchmark.

The last tutorial of the day took a refreshing turn—unlike the technical deep-dives, this session was packed with creativity, curiosity, and out-of-the-box thinking. Prof. Manish Jain, Teaching Professor and Director of Creative Learning at IIT Gandhinagar, led a highly engaging

In the next talk, I discussed decade of work on energy disaggregation -- starting from household deployments, to energy disaggregation to application metrics and finally the billion building challenge.

Day 7 started with an insightful session by Alok Talekar from Google DeepMind India, where he explored the transformative role of remote sensing technologies in agriculture. The talk highlighted how advances in satellite imagery, machine learning, and AI-driven analytics are

@uditbhatiaiitgn We are happy to share that Prof. Krishna Prasad, Associate Professor at IIT Gandhinagar, delivered an insightful session on Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI). The talk introduced BCI as a cutting-edge field enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices. It

@uditbhatiaiitgn In the next session, I discussed how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to tackle pressing challenges in air quality monitoring and analysis. The session focused on combining structured environmental data with the reasoning power of LLMs, especially under data-scarce

In the next session, Prof. @uditbhatiaiitgn , Associate Professor at IIT Gandhinagar, delivered a compelling talk on Physics-guided Machine Learning for Water and Floods. He explained how integrating physical principles with machine learning helps build more robust, reliable,

We started week 2 (day 6 session 1) with a talk by Dr. Bimal and Ujjwal Gupta from ISRO SAC. They introduced various satellite products, applications, and ML problems pertinent to India.
