We are in the “Cognitive Era”, as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to transform the way we live, work and do everything. It is already a part of our everyday life, though we may not notice it. While many are excited about it, a few are worried. As a matter of fact, nations are vying for a leadership position in AI technologies and applications.
AI is not about building smart machines to replace humans. RATHER, it is about building smarter organizations, and smart solutions that a human brain cannot comprehend. It is primarily about “Collective Intelligence” or combining AI along with human intelligence to solve real-life problems for human empowerment.
HIGH DEMAND
Corporations are
aggressively adapting
to AI wave and hence
hiring and developing
AI-talent.
HUGE SUPPLY GAP
Demand for qualified AI
talent far exceeds supply.
That means less
competition and more
pay for trained-people.
BRIGHT FUTURE
According to World Economic
Forum, automation will
generate 133 million new jobs
by 2022 and these jobs are not
going away anytime soon.

PROGRAM FACULTY
Dr. Raju Pandey is a Professor Emeritus in the Computer Science department at the University of California at Davis, where he developed and taught graduate and undergraduate courses in programming languages, operating systems, distributed systems, Internet of Things, Wireless sensor networks, Web-based systems, and compilers. He is also the CEO and founder of Thinking Books, a software Infrastructure and Tools company. Dr. Pandey has a deep interest in math and computer science education and has developed novel interactive methods and tools for teaching both algorithmic and system aspects of Computer Science courses.
- Dr. Pandey’s first startup, SynapSense, was a pioneering IoT company, later acquired by Panduit.
- His research and entrepreneurial interests lie in AI, Programming Languages, Blockchain, Internet of Things, Cloud, Security, and Privacy. Specifically, his interests are driven by the need to build software systems that are easier to build, analyze and deploy.
- In this regard, he has developed a novel software platform for building multi-platform AI, Blockchain, Mobile, and IoT applications. The platform includes a next-generation programming language, Ankur, that Dr. Pandey has designed and implemented. The platform will enable development of AI applications in which both algorithm-driven (deterministic) and data-driven (non-deterministic) components of AI applications can be integrated seamlessly.
- In addition, he consults extensively with companies on AI, Blockchain, IoT, Cloud, Mobile Computing, and Distributed Systems.
- He has published 40+ papers in conferences and journals and holds 16+ patents in software, visualization, wireless networks, data analytics, security, and control systems.
- Dr. Pandey holds a B.Tech. degree in Computer Science from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), Kharagpur, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin.
