Dibrugarh: Dipti Deb, a research scholar from Chabua in Dibrugarh, is garnering international acclaim for her groundbreaking work in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for early breast cancer detection.
Currently pursuing her PhD in the department of computer science and engineering at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela, she is under the mentorship of Prof. Ratnakar Dash and Durga Prasad Mohapatra.
Dipti recently showcased her innovative research at the 47th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society held in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her paper, titled "BreastHistoNet: An Efficient Breast Cancer Histopathological Image Classification Using Multi-Scale Features and Channel Recalibration", presents a cutting-edge computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system.
This system integrates mammogram, ultrasound, and histopathology images, providing a more accurate and timely detection of breast cancer.
The promising results from her tests indicate that the AI-driven approach could significantly enhance diagnostic capabilities in the healthcare sector, capturing the attention of attendees and experts alike.
The innovation has already garnered multiple accolades, including the Best Poster Award at the 13th International Conference on Soft Computing for Problem Solving (SocProS 2025) held at IIT Roorkee.

Indian intervention ensured safety of Axiom-4 astronauts: Isro chief
Trichy: Indian intervention led to the postponement of the Axiom Mission 4 launch originally scheduled for July 11, ensuring the safety of astronaut Shubanshu Shukla and three others, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation ( Isro ) and secretary of the department of space, V Narayanan, has said. Speaking at the 21st convocation of the National Institute of Technology, Trichy (NIT-T) here on Saturday, Narayanan recalled the original launch of Axiom Mission 4 was scheduled for June 11, but on the morning of June 10, a liquid oxygen leak in the booster engine of the rocket was detected. "The rocket, which was supposed to take into space along with Shubanshu Shukhla and three other astronauts from different countries, had developed a problem. It was the Indian team that raised concerns and ensured the launch was called off on the evening of June 10 at 5.15pm, as the rocket was deemed unsafe to fly. The cracks were later fixed, and the rocket successfully lifted off on June 25, placing all the astronauts safely in orbit," he said. "Every Indian must be proud that, through our education system, knowledge, and the support of Isro, we were able to call off a mission in time to ensure the safety of the astronauts. Today, it is part of history that they were launched and brought back safely," he added. The Isro chairman also presented a model of the GSLV Mk-3 rocket to the institution. Praising India's space efforts, he said, "We have so far launched six rockets, with the heaviest being the GSLV Mark-3 vehicle, through which we placed Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 in orbit, completed commercial missions, and launched 72 foreign satellites. The same rocket is now set to lift a 6,500kg communication satellite of the USA into orbit. It will also carry Indian crew members to space in 2027." NIT-T director G Aghila presented a report about the academic, research accomplishments and reiterated its 9th ranking in NIRF and 31st among all higher education institutions. A total of 2,045 degrees were awarded which includes 175 Phd, 5 MS, 483 MTech, 18 M Arch, 95 MBA, 109 MCA, 90 17 M A, 995 B tech and 58 B Arch. Earlier, speaking to reporters at Trichy airport, Narayanan said, "On July 30, the NASA-Isro synthetic aperture radar satellite will be launched using GSLV mark 2 vehicle. The satellite is jointly realised by India, Isro and JPL (USA). This satellite is going to be useful for the global community in earth observation and disaster mitigation areas. It is an important satellite, and it will be the 102nd launch from Indian soil. "

Rourkela police, NIT-R sign pact for tech advancements in policing
Rourkela: In a significant move towards modernising law enforcement, Rourkela police and National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on outreach activities, IT solutions, training and knowledge exchange. The agreement marks a new era of technology-driven policing aimed at enhancing transparency and data accessibility. According to a press release from Rourkela police, the partnership will focus on automating various police procedures. NIT-R has already designed and developed the Rourkela police website and the Anusandhan portal. The portal, in compliance with Section 193(3)(ii) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), sends SMS updates to complainants as FIR investigation progresses, making the process more data-friendly and less cumbersome. DIG Brijesh Kumar Rai and SP Nitesh Wadhwani emphasised the importance of adopting new technologies to improve police services. They highlighted the need for such advancements to better serve society. NIT-R director K Umamaheshwar Rao and registrar Rohan Dhiman discussed how academia and law enforcement can collaborate to develop effective solutions for citizens. Professors S Bakshi and M N Sahoo elaborated on the functionalities of the Anusandhan portal and ongoing efforts to enhance its capabilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Learn More Undo In addition to the MoU, an eight-day skill development programme for digital transformation was inaugurated, aimed at upskilling 200 police personnel in data analytics. The initiative underscores the commitment of both Rourkela police and NIT-R to improve operational efficiency, digital readiness and community-focused policing. The partnership envisions integrating AI technology to extract intelligent data for predictive police services, setting a long-term goal for enhanced law enforcement capabilities.

NIT-R bags patent for bacterial biofilm tech to treat toxic industrial wastewater
ROURKELA: A research team of the National Institute of Technology-Rourkela (NIT-R) has secured patent for its novel bacterial biofilm technology that degrades phenanthrene, a toxic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) found in industrial chemical waste. Contrary to the conventional methods for wastewater treatment, this technology offers environment friendly, effective and cost-efficient solution. Informing about the grant of patent on Thursday, the NIT-R said PAHs are hazardous organic compounds capable of contaminating soil and water through fossil fuel combustion, industrial discharge and oil spills. The traditional methods used to address this challenge with chemical oxidation or soil excavation are expensive and often generate secondary pollution. But the new technology provides a cheaper alternate to the global challenge of wastewater treatment. The developed biofilm comprises cells attached to the substratum within an extracellular polymeric matrix. The research team grew the biofilm using Luria Bertani broth, a nutrient-rich medium. Lead researcher Prof Surajit Das of the department of Life Science said, 'The biofilm is well-compatible for integration in existing reactors used at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities, especially those dealing with hydrocarbon-based pollutants. Our patented technology also opens opportunities for potential collaboration with the petrochemical industry to promote more sustainable pollution control practices.'
