During my time at Vignan University, I had the privilege of utilizing the state-of-the-art Microwave Laboratory and the Center of Excellence (CoE-RF) in Antenna Design. These resources were pivotal in shaping my understanding of complex microwave and antenna technologies. The hands-on experience I gained, along with the guidance from faculty, played a significant role in my journey towards becoming a Research Scientist at SAMEER, MIETY, Govt. of India.The well-equipped labs helped me build a strong foundation in areas like high-power antenna design, microwave tube testing, and integration. My work on radar modules for the Indian Army and Air Force during my tenure as a Junior Research Fellow at LRDE, DRDO, was greatly influenced by this practical experience. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work with advanced tools such as Optiwave and Lumerical software to design photonic circuits, which culminated in publishing an IEEE paper on 'Photonics Integrated Circuits' in 2024.

As a faculty member in the VLSI domain, I am fortunate to work in a research environment that provides access to cutting-edge facilities, which play a pivotal role in driving innovation and producing impactful research outcomes in the department of ECE. The VLSI design research centre facilities, with a collaborative atmosphere, enhancing the quality of both faculty and student research significantly. The availability of advanced design tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens with support of C2S scheme, Meity has been a major enabler of high-quality research in VLSI design research centre. These tools allow us to perform in-depth design, simulation, and verification of complex VLSI circuits. The availability of FPGA boards and real-time testing platforms further enhances the practical implementation of research ideas, enabling the transition from theoretical models to hardware prototypes.

As a research scholar currently pursuing my PhD at Vignan University, I am focused on the Design and Implementation of Digital Model of the Relay Interlocking Systems, in the VLSI domain. Having completed my M. Tech at the same institution, I have developed a strong foundation in my field, which has been further enriched by the guidance of my supervisor, Dr. N. Usha Rani. Her expertise and support have been instrumental in shaping my research direction and enhancing my analytical skills. I am grateful for the resources and collaborative environment at Vignan University, which have provided me with numerous opportunities to expand my knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the field of VLSI. I look forward to making significant advancements through my research and continuing to grow academically and professionally.
