IEEE Distinguished Lecture Series: The Architecture of Trust | Mr. Bruce Schneier(Harvard) | Virtual, 2026

The IEEE Student Branch at IIIT Kalyani is proud to inaugurate the 2026 Distinguished Lecture Series with a foundational session on cryptography, systems security, and tech policy, featuring globally renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier. As the landscape of global infrastructure, AI, and digital privacy undergoes a massive paradigm shift, the rules of threat modeling are being rewritten. This exclusive session bridges the gap between academic computer science and the realities of global systems security. We will be moving beyond standard application vulnerabilities to explore the theoretical and practical intersections of cryptography, public policy, and the architecture of trust.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning

IEEE Distinguished Lecture Series: The Architecture of Intelligence | Dr. Tanmay Chakraborty(IIT Delhi) | Virtual, 2026

Following our inaugural session on global cryptography, the IEEE Student Branch at IIIT Kalyani proudly presents the second installment of our 2026 Distinguished Lecture Series. We are shifting the focus from systems security to the bleeding edge of Artificial Intelligence, featuring Prof. Tanmoy Chakraborty. As AI transitions from theoretical models to foundational societal infrastructure, understanding the mechanics of computational systems is no longer optional. This exclusive session dives deep into network science, natural language processing (NLP), and the data architectures that drive modern AI research.
