The 2015 Kasling Memorial Lecture, “How Do You Compress Data Such as Text and Images?” will be presented by Dr. Ziya Arnavut on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 12:30 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall.
The campus and community is invited to attend.
The main focus of Dr. Arnavut’s lecture is data compression and how to use it in everyday life. The topic has been a part of his ongoing research. He will explain optimizing data compression for images – such as how to shrink the size or change its resolution. Arnavut’s lecture will give the audience insight on what data compression is and how it can be used.
