The Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction at Faculty of Electrical Engineering CTU will host Prof. Alejandra J. Magana and Prof. Bedřich Benes from Purdue University in the United States.
Prof. Alejandra J. Magana's presentation will address teaching and learning through computation, modeling and simulation. He will summarize specific difficulties encountered by STEM undergraduate curricula. To address them, Prof. Magana and her team have tested a set of pedagogical practices and teaching strategies that can lead to improvements in student knowledge.
Prof. Bedřich Beneš holds a master's degree and a PhD from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University. He developed his career as a leading expert in computer graphics at Purdue University. In his talk, he will introduce several methods for plant modeling and simulation, and also present several advances and approaches that attempt to bridge the gap between simulation data for deep learning and real-world artificial intelligence methods for agriculture.
