He was delivering a web talk on ‘Technology Trends and Industry Expectations’ of the Department of Computer Science.

“We will continue to see an accelerated rate of digitization of business and society. The most important trends in the years to come are likely to focus around the convergence of technology trends”, said Sajid.
