Technical seminar on “VLSI DESIGN: Current & Future Perspectives”

The Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering has organized a technical seminar on "VLSI DESIGN: Current & Future Perspectives” for the second & third year ECE students on 20th February 2024 from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm in Prerana Hall. There were 250 participants in the talk. Ms Sampada Pachaury, Director - IUCEE Foundation was the resource person. 

The objective of the talk was to provide students with a deep understanding of the present state and potential future developments in VLSI design.

Ms Sampada Pachaury started the session by elaborating on her experience after working in the VLSI Industry and some of the technical aspects such as memory design, address decoding, chip design, etc...She enlightened the students with an overview of anticipated future trends in VLSI design and discussed emerging technologies, methodologies, and research directions that have the potential to shape the future of VLSI design. She suggested the students to equipped with strong fundamental knowledge and practical skills that can be applied in their work or research in VLSI design.  

The technical seminar was a fruitful session for the individuals interested in VLSI design, they gained insights into both current industry practices and the potential future directions of this dynamic field.

Success is not equal to money, students should develop the habit of reading books & reading 2 column papers, publishing the research work carried out is not mandatory but if published the life of it will be more than the life of the researcher. So all ethical aspects should be followed while publishing the paper.

One hour session ended with questions and answers.The resource person motivated everyone to be curious and become good researchers in their own domains of engineering. At the end the resource person was felicitated with memento and appreciation.

Brief about the proceedings of the event:

The event started at 10:30 AM on 11th Aug 2022 in HDL lab. Ms. Rupal introduced the resource persons to the gathering. HOD Dr Dayakshini welcomed everyone. Mr. Balavignesh, Specialist in Audio Vestibular medicine at Cyclops Medtech gave a brief on the Workshop. He explained about the dynamic visual acuity why it is required etc.  Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) is a test to evaluate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR).  The function of the VOR is to fixate images of objects in the eyes that we see in the surroundings when we move our heads or when the head moves or when both the head as well as the visual object moves. If the VOR is defective the images are not steadily fixed in the eyes and the subject feels vertiginous. Poor VOR is one of the common reasons for which a patient presents to the doctor with head spinning or imbalance and the VOR needs to be tested in all patients who present to the doctor with vertigo or imbalance. DVA is one of the tests to evaluate the functional status of the VOR. The test is very much like an eye test that the optometrist does to test a patient's vision. There are different letters of the alphabet in different sizes projected in a computer screen and the person is asked to read the letters with the head fixed and while moving the head at a particular speed. The test takes about 10-15 minutes time in cooperative person and is a non-invasive painless test that does not cause any vertiginous sensation to person under test. The goal of the workshop was to collect the normative data from the volunteer students. 80 students participated in the test. The inaugural ended with a vote of thanks by the convener Dr Sandhya Dass. 80 students volunteered for the data acquisition during the 3-day workshop.
