Data is a critical need for the unfolding AI revolution that is impacting all aspects of our lives these days. IHub-Data, a Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) at IIITH focuses on putting together large-scale datasets as well as developing solutions based on that data through Applied Research. IHub-Data aims to harness the volume and variety of data available in India to put together datasets that will be a valuable resource to researchers the world over. In addition, technology and applied research efforts are directed in focus domains like mobility, healthcare, smart buildings, systems and India specific research initiatives.
In order to encourage current generation researchers in Data Driven Technologies, and nurture future generation researchers/students TIH has instituted fellowships to Masters, PhD, Postdoc and Tenure track faculty fellowships & Chair Professorships. Recipients of the fellowships from the first 2 batches include:
