Professor & HoD Dr. Nakul Ramanna & Dr. Shwetha A. of the Civil Engineering Department of Presidency School of Engineering had the opportunity to participate at the International Symposium on Collaborative Informatics (ISCI 2025) at Kagoshima University from March 5 - 7, 2025.

Dr. Ramanna delivered an impactful presentation on “Manufactured Aggregates for Modern Infrastructure: Advancements, Applications, and Future Directions", through which he highlighted manufactured aggregates as vital for sustainable construction. He showcased advanced techniques like carbon capture and AI-driven crushing to enhance material strength and durability while calling for quality control and policy incentives to drive adoption.

Dr. Shwetha delivered her insightful presentation, "Influence of Ground Control Points in Aerial Survey and ORI Mapping", through which she showcased the critical role of Ground Control Points (GCPs) in enhancing aerial survey accuracy. Her research demonstrated an 83.33% improvement in geospatial precision by integrating GCPs with PPK drones and Pix4Dmatic software, making them essential for sub-centimetre accuracy in drone-based photogrammetry.

Dr. Ramanna’s presentation provided a blueprint for resilient, eco-friendly infrastructure, highlighting manufactured aggregates as key to sustainable development, while Dr. Shwetha’s research underscored the indispensability of Ground Control Points (GCPs) in achieving sub-centimeter accuracy in drone-based photogrammetry—making them vital for industries dependent on precise geospatial data.
