nidianDev Bhattacharya

Bio:

Dev Bhattacharya, is currently a chair of Consumer Electronics Society of IEEE section of Santa Clara Valley. He is a technical leader in various IoT systems and has over 20 years of experience in leading the system, hardware and firmware development of complex IoTs and embedded systems based on various sensors and devices.

Dev has a master’s degree of Science in computer and systems engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and has successfully led and managed development of system architecture, system hardware, firmware of consumer grade, IoT and complex embedded system products with sensors, networking, wireless and multi-media from concept to volume production at various companies including Cisco, Intel, Logitech, Moog Crossbow and Rockwell Collins.

Avid Farhoodfar

Bio:

Avid Farhoodfar, PhD, is currently a Faculty in the Computer Science Department at Sofia University at Palo Alto, California. Formerly an Assistant chair in the Engineering Management Department, as well as Faculty in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the International Technological University (ITU) in San Jose.

For her doctorate in Condensed Matter Physics and Material Sciences at Queen’s University, Dr. Farhoodfar modeled matter in quantum size, developing a modeling system using Quantum Monte Carlo approximation and Sherman Morrison optimization techniques.

Abstract:  In this talk, we focus on designing an IoT-based fire and smoke detection system using edge and cloud computing infrastructure along with deep learning. First, an overview of IoT-based fire and smoke detection in smart cities will be discussed. Then a framework of an IoT-based system for fire and smoke detection is presented. An efficient model using deep learning for the IoT framework is proposed. This presentation covers applicability of our proposed model in detection of fire and smoke for edge and cloud computing.

Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed model and make recommendations using industry best practices.
