Held via <strong>Google Meet<\/strong> from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM IST, the session was aimed at enhancing students\u2019 understanding of core graph algorithms \u2014 <strong>Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford<\/strong>. Prof. Talaga\u2019s clear, interactive teaching style made complex topics accessible and engaging. He began with shortest path problems in graph theory, then dove into the specifics of each algorithm, emphasizing their applications, strengths, and limitations. Using real-world examples, visual aids, and coding insights, he encouraged students to think both theoretically and practically. With active student participation and thoughtful questions throughout, the session proved to be highly enriching. The talk concluded with a vote of thanks and a group photo, leaving the NUtons community inspired to explore algorithm design further.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3517\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-15-at-07.36.33_de7d3697-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-15-at-07.36.33_de7d3697-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-15-at-07.36.33_de7d3697.jpg 431w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 2, 2025, NIIT University hosted a virtual invited talk featuring Prof. Paul Talaga from the University of Indianapolis,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3516"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3518,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3516\/revisions\/3518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.niituniversity.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
