My name is Prashant Lakkadwala, and I am honored to serve as the Professor and Head - Information Technology Department and Additional Charge CSE (Data Science) and CSE (Internet of Things) Departments at Acropolis Institute of Technology & Research in Indore. In my role, I lead a team of educators who collaborate on designing and implementing innovative curricula and research projects in the domains of Information Technology, Data Science, and the Internet of Things. One of the most rewarding aspects of my position is providing guidance and mentorship to students pursuing these fields, equipping them with the skills to thrive as accomplished professionals. Leveraging my extensive experience in academia and my passion for teaching and research, I have made significant contributions to the growth and success of my department and institution. Another source of pride for me is having supervised the progress of five postgraduate students pursuing their M. Tech. degrees, which serves as a testament to my expertise in the field.
