Speaker
Mr Rakesh Kumar Kumar
Rajiv Gandhi Institute Of Petroleum Technology
AI-Driven Multi-Sensor UAV Systems for Sustainable Copper Porphyry Exploration"
12:20 PM - 12:44 PMBiography
I am a final-year Bachelor of Technology student in Petrochemical and Polymer Engineering at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), Jais, Amethi. My research interests focus on the intersection of chemical engineering and artificial intelligence, with particular expertise in machine learning applications for materials characterisation and data-driven process optimisation.
Currently, I am working on a research project titled "The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Polymer Characterisation: Emerging Trends and Perspectives." Additionally, I am participating in the Bhartiya Antariksh Hackathon 2025, developing AI-based systems for the early detection of Halo Coronal Mass Ejections using Aditya-L1 satellite data.
My interdisciplinary approach combines traditional engineering principles with advanced computational methods, extending my expertise to applications in sustainable exploration technologies and UAV-based data analysis systems. I am committed to leveraging AI/ML techniques to address challenges in resource exploration and environmental monitoring.
Research Interests: Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, Machine Learning for Materials Science, Remote Sensing Data Analysis, Sustainable Exploration Technologies
Current Projects: AI-driven polymer characterisation, Space weather prediction using satellite data, UAV sensor integration for exploration applications
