Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai University. She is devoted to education, and always interested in applying new things. She graduated in the year 2001 from Pune University, completed her M. Tech. in 2008, and PhD in the year 2017 and has teaching experience of 20+ years (since 2001). Along with teaching different subjects and guiding students for placement and higher studies, she has played different roles simultaneously. To mention a few, vice-chair of software team, admission committee, program chair for NBA committee, technical chair for the international conference, ICACTA and DJ ASCII-State level project competition, and many more. She has also implemented a few inhouse software for DJSCE. She is a registered and recognized coach for the International Collegiate Programming Competition (ACM-ICPC) since 2006. She has also participated in 50+ workshops and STTPs. She has published 30+ papers in various international and national journals / conferences. She has received Research Grant in a. y. 2015-16 from University of Mumbai of Amount Rs. 25,000/-. She is also an award winner of ""BEST FACULTY"" in 2008. Her areas of specialization include Data Mining, Semantics, Natural Language Processing, Parallel Computing, and Distributed Systems. She has delivered special talks on advanced algorithms, semantics, and distributed document clustering in a few institutes. Dr. Vinaya Sawant, Head of Information Technology Department of Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai University, possesses an experience of 19 years in teaching subjects such as Database Management Systems, Advanced Databases, Data Warehousing and Mining, Data Analytics, Distributed Systems, Image Processing.
