The three-day training for Gregory University Uturu (GUU) staff and scholars on remote sensing data from space, led by Russian delegates from Friendship University Moscow, has successfully been concluded.
The training, which began on August 19, 2024, and ended on August 22, focused on processing remote sensing data from space and developing competencies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning.
This program aimed to equip scholars and staff, primarily from the engineering, environmental science, and IT departments, with essential tools and information in these fields.
The delegates were warmly welcomed by the management staff of GUU and treated to a memorable opening ceremony.
In her address, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Cele Njoku emphasized that this event is an excellent opportunity to learn and gain firsthand knowledge on the subject, enabling participants to explore the many possibilities within the area of remote sensing data from space.
She expressed her pleasure in hosting the delegation and noted that this event would further strengthen the already established relationship between the institutions. Prof. Njoku assured that this collaboration would yield fruitful results.
She encouraged all participants to make the most of this opportunity, to learn as much as possible for both personal growth and to benefit their loved ones and the university community.
The trainers, Aleksandr Iniushin and Elizaveta Shemyakina, provided insightful teachings on Earth Remote Sensing (ERS), its advantages and disadvantages, the application of AI to ERS, the fundamentals of machine learning based on neural networks, and how these concepts apply to ERS.
Participants were also introduced to the PyCharm Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The major highlights of the event included the distribution of certificates of participation to the university management staff and all registered participants, as well as the presentation of souvenirs to the guest lecturers.
