From the Editor

Spring semester is officially over, and this means many things at IISc. This is the beginning of Gulmohar bloom all over the campus, and the advent of the mango season. For some of the graduate students, this is the time for industry internships, and for summer interns from outside IISc arrival time at various laboratories. The end of the spring semester signals a return of focus to research, conference travels, and summer schools. Talking about summer schools, CNI is supporting the  14th annual JTG/IEEE Information Theory Society summer school , which is returning to IISc in June this year. We are also organizing our  3rd annual CNI summer school  in July this year. In addition, our annual hackathon this year is based on cybersecurity and is being organized in association with CySecK, the K-Tech Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security, and our CSR sponsor, Cisco Systems India Pvt. Ltd. We invite all the senior undergraduate and early graduate students to register for all of these events.
