Today, March 8th, our Student Chapter enthusiastically organized an exciting talk by Dr. Jurij Paraszczak who is a consultant to IBM’s Corporate Communications and Corporate Affairs group. His presentation was entitled: “Smarter Cities and their Analysis”. Dr. Paraszczak highlighted the value of Information Technology and its role in enhancing city operations efficiency. His presentation included useful insights into the analytical approaches that IBM follows in their projects, as well as very interesting videos that traveled us around the world. It is noteworthy that Dr. Paraszczak encouraged the audience’s vivid participation by asking questions and commenting on the received feedback.
Prof. Nagurney, our Chapter’s advisor, introduced our speaker to the attendees.
Our President, Katerina, presented our speaker’s academic and professional background.
Dr. Paraszczak demonstrated interesting videos to further explain and support his statements.
By the end of the presentation, the attendees asked many questions that led to a valuable discussion.
