Dear All,
IEEE Student Branch
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
AGM & Technical Talk
IEEE-IISc has been very active during last two years. We had conducted
several talks, workshops and programs. IISc-IEEE Oureach program is
initiated to share the knowlegde of IISc research students. IEEE has
recognized IISc as one among 17 Schools in the world under Univeristy
Partner Program (UPP). IISc has taken lead in forming IEEE Society
Chapters, namely, communication society, computer society, Industrial
Electronics Society, Industry Applicaitons Society, Photonics society,
Engineering in Medicine and Biology society, Nanotechnology council,
Sensors council, etc. Students and faculty are inivited to take active
role in IEEE-IISc. All members are invited to the AGM of the IEEE-IISc.
AGM is preceded by a technical talk.
Date : 10th Jan, 2014 (Friday)
Time : 2.00PM to 4.00PM
Venue : Golden Jubilee Seminar Hall, ECE dept, IISc
Program
Welcome ( Mr. Uday Shankar, Ph D scholar ECE Dept, Chair, IEEE-IISc)
Technical Talk (2.15pm -3.15pm)
Speaker: Dr. Randeep Singh, SAP Labs, Bangalore
Topic: DNA as an information storage and retrieval device
AGM Business (3.15-3.45pm)
Secretary Report, Financial Report, Technical Report, Handing over to new
committee, Address by new chair, Discussion, Vote of Thanks

Summary
DNA sequencing has gone through a significant revolution over the last
three decades. Human Genome draft was decoded in year 2000 that is
leading to many innovations and discoveries. With the advent of next
generation sequencing (NGS), genomics is growing with rapid pace. NGS has
given rise to several new research challenges. It gave impetus to
development of newer sequencing technologies, algorithms and software that
is pushing the sequencing cost of the whole human genome down to
$1000/genome. Biological systems have been using DNA as an information
storage molecule for billions of years. DNA is the densest and most stable
way to store digital information. In my talk, I will present how to
harness the DNA to store and retrieve digital data such as audio/video
using different NGS technology. In a recent paper by George Church, 700
TBs of data was stored in a single gram of DNA
Biography of the Speaker
Dr. Randeep Singh, Ph.D. had been previously with Philips Research for 6+
years and has joined SAP Labs in Mar. 2013. He has a Bachelors, Masters
and PhD degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
(IIT-Bombay) and have been trained in various technical areas like
Robotics, Image processing, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. He has
been working in the Bioinformatics domain for 5+ years and has expertise
in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis. In the past, he has
presented at the prestigious conferences like the Personal Genomes
conference at Cold Spring Harbor Lab (CSHL), NY. He has so far filed 12
US/EP/WO patents and has numerous publications to his name. He is
currently a Principal Scientist and Director – Biomedical Informatics at
Custom Development and Strategic Projects (CD&SP) division, SAP Labs,
Bangalore. He is the Product Owner of SAP HANA Genomics & Healthcare in
India. Randeep’s main engagement area is in supporting Genomics and Next
Generation Sequencing data to leverage new technologies like SAP HANA to
drive innovation in Life Sciences and Clinical Research areas. Interests &
Current work: Randeep has interests to use IT for improving human
healthcare. He is interested in futuristic projects like ITFoM and
modeling Cancer Biology. He is an Adjunct Faculty at Tata Memorial Centre
(TMC), Mumbai and has set up a research collaboration between TMC and SAP
Labs. --
