Open Source Program Initiative Demo Day
IEEE OSPI Final Project Presentations
A showcase of five weeks of deep, mentor-driven open-source engineering.
The IEEE Open Source Program Initiative (OSPI) concludes with its Final Project Presentation Day, where selected student teams present the systems they have built during an intensive, industry-mentored sprint.
This event is an invitation to academicians, industry practitioners, researchers, and technical leaders to observe, evaluate, and engage with projects that go beyond coursework, emphasizing real-world relevance, technical depth, and open-source impact.
What You’ll See
Over the past five weeks, teams have worked end-to-end on technically demanding problems across:
Web Development
Generative AI
Natural Language Processing
Cybersecurity
Vision & Spatial Intelligence
Each presentation covers:
The problem motivation
System architecture and design decisions
Technical challenges and trade-offs
Live demos / results where applicable
Future scope and open-source direction
These are not slide-only talks. Teams are expected to defend design choices and demonstrate working systems.
Mentorship & Evaluation
All projects were built under the guidance of industry and research mentors, including:
Adithya SK — Founder, Cognitive Lab | Researcher, Microsoft
Akash Kamlesh — SDE, Cisco | Former Chair, IEEE CS PESU
Anirudh Revanur — DIAT Pune | Former Lab Head, PIL PESU
Ujjwal MK — ML Perception Engineer, BMW India
Chinmay Mhatre — Project Associate, IISc
Their mentorship ensured projects maintained technical rigor, feasibility, and clarity of purpose throughout the program.
