Seminar Series “Transformative Technologies: From IoT to GenAI in Business and Research”

From April 1st to 3rd, 2025, Van Lang School of Technology, in collaboration with Kadir Has University (Turkey), hosted the seminar series "Transformative Technologies: From IoT to GenAI in Business and Research." The series discussed the advancements and applications of cutting-edge technologies across business, research, and education.

As the keynote speaker, Assoc. Prof. Arif Selcuk Orenci, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Kadir Has University, emphasised: "We are living in an era where radio-frequency identification has become a vital part of the automated data collection ecosystem. But what is more important is that we must build a unified vision for the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture - one where devices, sensors, and platforms are more interconnected and intelligent than ever before."

On April 1, 2025, the seminar focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Intelligence (EI) solutions. It offered students a deeper understanding of how edge computing enhances IoT systems and enables applications in smart agriculture, remote healthcare monitoring, and urban traffic management.

The seminar on April 2nd focused on Machine Learning in Business, where participants explored how machine learning revolutionised industrial operations - from analysing customer data and forecasting consumer trends to optimising workflows and enabling faster, more accurate decision-making.

On April 3rd, Assoc. Prof. Arif Selcuk Orenci introduced methods for integrating generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into the core of scientific research activities. This advanced technology now serves as a powerful partner, supporting researchers in synthesising literature, analysing data, modelling hypotheses, and pushing the boundaries of creativity.

Throughout the series, Van Lang University students engaged in in-depth discussions with experts on data collection and analysis processes, the potential of IoT and Generative AI, and innovative solutions for educational management.

My Anh, a Class 27 Information Technology student, shared: "The seminars were truly valuable. Learning about IoT and generative AI gave me a new perspective on how technology is reshaping industries. I was particularly impressed by how IoT combined with Edge Computing can enhance productivity in manufacturing and healthcare."

The program provided Van Lang University students with a comprehensive perspective on the technologies that are redefining research, education, and business. It also reaffirmed the pioneering role of Van Lang School of Technology in training students to apply modern technologies effectively, contributing to enhance business performance and improve the quality of research and education in Vietnam.
