Recent Research and Activities

This May, SBA representatives (Dr. Mohan Tanniru, Dr. Xiaodong Deng and Dr. Joy Jiang) visited several universities in China to develop multi-lateral partnerships to support research, student education and program development. Also, SBA representatives, along with a delegation lead by the OU International Office, visited several embassies in Washington (China, Korea, India, Spain, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, among others) to explore programmatic options for students and faculty.

The SBA, under the coordination of Dr. Ravi Parameswaran and Dr. Nivedita Mukherji, is successfully concluding four years of activities supported by a National Education grant. This has led to many faculty and student exchanges in support of both teaching and research, along with some programmatic interactions. For a quick summary, click here.

Dr. Vijayan Sugumaran visited Sogang University, Seoul, S. Korea (June 3 - June 10), as a part of SBA Research Exchange and was invited as a Senior Research Scholar by the University of Hong Kong (June 10 - June 17).  Dr. Sugumaran is also involved in multiple research projects with institutions in Korea, Hong Kong, UK, Germany among others in areas related to Ontologies, Software Development, UML and Knowledge Management.
