Thank
Interviewer 0:03:39
Thank you for sharing this detailed overview of your academic, professional, and personal background. Let's proceed to discuss specific areas of your expertise and experience. I’d like to start with your background in teaching. Could you describe your approach to teaching theory and laboratory courses? How do you ensure that students grasp technical concepts effectively?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:04:19
Uh, it's basically I'm, uh, what is the background of the electronic intercommunication engineering? I, my specialization is, uh, is a communication system, especially my, uh, PhD research specialization is, uh, the deep learning based VLSI for wireless communication. Uh, in, in, before that, in my teaching, I handled the several, the, what was the basic, the fundamental subjects, especially what is the electromagnetic fields, the circuits theory in the control system, the wireless communications, uh.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:04:45
Patiently generation learning, uh, he said recently handled for, uh, his IT student, but, uh, I'm, I'm basic of that subject. Uh, this The thing is here, uh, first, uh, I want to give, uh, what is a little bit introduction about is a subject of subject of therapomagnetic field, the electromagnetic fields. It is the fundamentals of the wireless communication because the signal is a transfer from the one place into another place or one transmitter and another transmitter under now through the electromagnetic swift without this, we imagine.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:05:36
The how many gate, I mean, what will the communication would be happen? And, uh, here, uh, just a week, look at that. Uh, just I want to correlate this, uh, the fundamental with that the real time examples and we know about that is a ocean wave. The ocean wave traveling the surface of that water that we can see that we mean that we can that we can feel that when we are zooming on it. This wave is called What is the ocean wave? There are other kinds of the wave is there. We cannot see that, we cannot feel that, but we are experiencing them every day that.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:05:59
Davis call to for sale a pro magnetic waves. OK, and there are the different examples for uh, the electromagnetic wave is a television, uh, wave with television signal is mobile signal. Uh, what is that telephone mobile signals and gamma microwave signals. The electromagnetic wave existing from the power lines. These are the what is the examples of the optromagnetic space and in order to explain this electromagnetic importance or the basic the fundamentals by the two scientists.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:06:24
The two scientists name it called James Klutz Maxwell and enrich the Hertz. The two scientists who studied about the behavior of the electromagnetic wave and they found that the one thing the electric field or magnetic field are perpendicular to each other to the wave direction. That is the first thing they are computed and another one is this electromagnetic wave. It is the speed is the is equal to light velocity, which means that it's about it's a 3 into 10 to the power of 8.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:06:43
The seconds, so, uh, the finally decide that our, the technology, our the communication, our, the scientists who decide to transmit the signal, uh, as a, what is the electromagnetic electromagnetic waves? OK, and many fundamental is there many theorem? Is there Stokes theorem, divergent theorem and the pointing theorem? Uh, what is the Coulomb's law? And by its law, these are the law is used to describe about electric field as the magnetic field and the power of the electromagnetic field, so on.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:06:44
Thank you.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:06:52
Yes.
Interviewer 0:07:08
Let's move to the next area of discussion. Given your strong teaching background, can you share how you approach student evaluation and exam duties? Specifically, how do you ensure fairness and objectivity while assessing students' performance?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:07:56
Uh, is, uh, next, uh, this, uh, the VLSI or the, the deep learning based. So I mean the modern, the what is, uh, the optimization techniques, the a, a submission learning and wireless. I mean, what says the deep learning based concept? This one is I applied to the, my, the PhD concept. Just I come from that my pH to the search, my PHP research. It's what is the investigation on the efficient hybrid pre coding technique for MIMO systems.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:08:12
OK, uh, here, uh, I proposed A3 concept, UH-3 proposed method in my, their research. Uh, the one is the deep learning based, uh, hybrid precoding technique for MIMO system. This is the communication background, the wireless communication background. And the second one is uh, deep symbol level, uh, precoding, uh, for what is it MIMO communication system, the millimeter wave MIMO communication system. And third one is low power delay product architecture of the deep learning based symbol level encoder for.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:09:44
What is millimeter by MIMO communication system using the adiabatic logics? OK, I addressed two other what is the major areas in my research. One the first two contribution is in background of the wireless communication and 3rd contribution is the VLSI circuits OK. Here what I proposed by in my concept and modern communication it is having that what is I mean smart antenna techniques. What is that is about is a MIMO. The MIMO it is nothing but the multiple input or multiple output of the system where that I mean the multiple antenna take place at the both and the transmitter receiver side of the communication system and the performance of the system is and improve the capacity improve that what is the capacity and I mean what is. Data communication of the system, I mean the reliable data communication of the system. This thing is at the MIMO and the second one is the massive mow the massive MIMO. It is what's large number of antenna take place on the transmitter and receiver side of the communication system. And this will be improved. The performance is what is network capacity is improved and in preferences reduced and reliability of data data communications on the acute and the third one is is a millimeter wave communication of the system. This is it is the.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:10:12
Uh, what is this communication system they've used the millimeter wave frequency, which mean that they extremely very high frequencies about 30 gigahertz on the 300 gigahertz of the frequency it is used for is a modern communications of Forge and 5G communications and they would be happen now for what does I mean satellite communications or microwave, what's application this be used? And for this all The thing is that combined to Heather and I analyzed what is the performance metrics are the BER, I mean bit error rate.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:10:26
DSNR and spectral efficiency and energy efficiency, uh, these all, The thing is I estimated and, uh, by using the different the hybrid pre coding techniques, I achieved my proposed method. And I mean using the deplaning method having what is here highest impact on my research compare than the existing methods. This is the, the, the idea of the research. And this is also the same thing as a friend with my what is a mentor or the UG and PG students. And also I'm guiding them. And I mean, they are trying to.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:10:34
Upgrades the paper and a good the index to channels. Uh, this is, uh, the teaching as well as my research area of, uh, my, uh, main my about what is the research is the concepts.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:10:36
Thank you, Sir.

Thank you, Professor, for sharing insights into your research and teaching focus areas. Your detailed explanation reflects your deep engagement in advanced concepts like MIMO systems and hybrid precoding techniques, and it's commendable that you integrate this into mentoring and guiding students.
Now, coming back to the question of evaluation and assessments, let me reframe it. When handling student examinations and projects, how do you ensure that your evaluation process is transparent and fair to all students?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:12:01
Yes, this what is the this this is the what's the validated by what is the foreign and Indian examiner and also it is this paper of my research. 1 is a published what is a national I mean international journals. The main I mean vault what is world I mean world specific part of the publication. And and also I'm trying to what is the publishing in more paper with this international journals and.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:12:22
In terms the research, what is the mean research, the paper the domain of the wireless communication VLSI and also the modern the optimization techniques like what is the deep learning and machine link so integrated with my existing VLSI and proposed what's the search, the searches and this is the validated and also awarded my PhD by experts committee from internal and external examiners like I mean the foreign examiners. That's The thing is, what is the I evaluated by this? What is the research company of?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:12:23
Through that university in Chennai, India.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:12:29
Thank you.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:12:31
Thank you, Sir.
Interviewer 0:12:51
I appreciate your explanations, Professor. Let us now move on to another area of focus. Can you elaborate on your experience guiding student projects and research? How do you ensure that students stay innovative and research-oriented while meeting academic objectives?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:13:22
Is the previously I mean I I mentor many PG and UG students in terms of what is academic improvement and many project under projects and usually in Anna University what is a syllabus, the curriculum it is doing how to do what is a really project as well as the I mean the final I mean the final project and.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:14:04
Loan first of all, that I mean the software. The software is very important according to the research background, the research, the method that back I mean the with the pool will be varied and the simulation tool will be paid first. I focused the students over I mean where they are strong and which area they're focused to their research. And based on that, I will be guide them to learn what is the new the what is simulation pools. And then I'll give what is a small what is the set of the project?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:13:45
You should. I used to student what is a guiding them to.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:15:03
That based on other currently I'm getting related to the papers and that many people project will end with that the softwares with the I mean other what is the softwares And uh, and this I mean, this support is the mini project will be the submitted or what is your I mean into that mind project Expo and what the external committee internal committee will be get? Voters appreciated this is the way I started to guiding the student. And and this continuation, I will be expecting the student to do the fine layer project and the final final project and the extending and they will be asked them to what is the collector? What is the different journals, the recent journal from the 2425 and what the what the scope is there? What is the I mean the new what is the future of the methodology? What is the future the ideas they they suggested by the author of the paper that to be I focused and ask them to slow student what is know about the sector and.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:15:29
While time I am also learning the, uh, related to the future ideas and to discuss with them and make the block diagram. Uh, uh, what is the, what are the requirements to the completion of the project? What's software is applicable to implement that? Uh, what is the paper or what the main projects and a slightly student ask them to what is that? I mean, do that literature survey. And then what is a small the implementation? And then what is I mean, writing the code or simulating the what is the I mean?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:16:02
Projects and, uh, mean getting the results and, uh, I mean, and validating that results, whether this results is, uh, might in or what is it, uh, improved from the existing one that everything I suggest with, uh, with the student and also this idea is I'll, I'll discuss with my, my guide, my supervisor, uh, they, they, they are in the PSA College of technology. What, what thing is a student simulated? That's everything this list, if it is there appreciated or to continue the same, I will ask them to what is the continue and the do the projects.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:16:57
And finally ask them the student draft the paper and submit the paper into the journals. And this is the way I'm guiding the students. And after after that I'm student asked them to implement in physical manner what is the circuit based some other things just to the clarify with that what thing is what that idea with that simulation side the verify with that what is hardware the components of the projects. This is the way I guiding and many students they are in their their went for higher education in so foreign or VIT university and also they got job in the Intel. Presently they are what is the gaining some what is the 30 MPA outlook 40 LPA The I mean they are also price me. They are they also what is I mean that they say thanks to what is every I mean every time they've met me in my college. This is the way.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:17:02
Thing and what is I mean what is attracting the students on focusing on the research.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:17:03
Thank you, Sir.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:17:26
Yes, that is.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:18:14
Uh, I, uh, my, uh, my, my research paper is the published, uh, world scientific, uh, the publisher, uh, journal of the circuit system, uh, journal of sustain system that this is, uh, this is the one of the, what is the CI or the journals, uh, high index to journal is there, it is indexed in non university, uh, versus listed journals. Uh, what is the, what is, I mean, the free of cost. I, I, I mean, I published my paper.
Interviewer 0:17:41
Let us now focus on your experience with research publications. Could you elaborate on the types of journals you have published in and the main contributions your research has made to the field?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:18:20
I'm not interested to.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:19:13
Also, what is the page? I mean, what is the published with the what is the payment? I may encourage my student. I encourage myself. What is it do the the good, the quality of the research, the quality of what is the outcomes from that many project from I mean since from the P project and also that extended into the what is the big I mean, what is the main project for the student as well as my research, my research also extended and doing myself and also for the focusing.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:19:15
On the research, uh, uh, research and that paper is a prompting again. I mean, I mean submitting into the journal and, uh, and waiting for, and then waiting, waiting for, I mean waiting, waiting to what does the publish? And they will be given some suggestion by the, what's the reviewer and then, then and there will be corrected. And again, it's submitted. And this is a way of publishing my papers. And also the same thing is a supported same things guiding my students also.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:19:19
Thank you.
Interviewer 0:19:45
Your passion for maintaining high-quality research and fostering the same ethos in your students is commendable, Professor. Now, I’d like to shift our focus slightly. Could you elaborate on your experience with industry projects or consultancy? How have you utilized your technical and academic expertise in collaboration or consultancy projects with the industry?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:20:27
Yes, uh, yeah, yes, uh, yes, uh, I have the experience, uh, in industry site. Uh, I had three-year industry site. Uh, I mean NBSNL, the Bharat Sanjan account limited. This is it is a wireless communication telecommunication department. And I have the many multi sub friends or they are working in the C tag or what is the ministry of the electronic communication and I get that. I mean, I'm getting the some idea from them and. What is the?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:20:47
Research is going on and also the same thing is I verify with the journals and what is the new thing is, uh, it's there, uh, a new project or new research is there and verify it. And the same thing is, and bring into that academic. And, uh, I, I noticed that and I will start to research and this research of this, what is the coming and the comparing with that? What is the industry with that is academic? And this will be reduced the, the gap between.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:21:27
Academic and research. And this will be what is a real time if would have completed this project. What thing I mean what I suggested got from that my friends they are working in the CDAC or I mean electronics at DST and get that ideas and as I mean as them my student and myself and prepare the funded what is the proposal and submitted to that What is the DSD DSD or the I mean the CTAC or a a CT and.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:21:50
And what is the will get that is some suggestion will myself and along with my I mean my students will present in front of what is the I mean the committee or the Funding Agency. And this this what is the way of getting the fund and doing that? What is the I mean project? I mean completing the project. This will be what is more user closer to what is industry collaboration and what is it having reducing the gap between academic and research.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:21:52
Uh, and also this is a, this is a way I'm reducing that the gap between an industry and is academics.

Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:23:02
Yes, already I I said that my research the specialization is a wireless communication and it is a vast area, especially the wireless communication and mobile communication under telecommunication is related to the projects. I'm also what I say experience with that what is the company? I am also what is the frequently used to what is I mean?
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:23:06
Visit the companies and what is the project? It's it's, it's, it's going on on time.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:23:40
Uh, in, in what is, I mean, in especially the core areas, uh, I got that ideas, uh, got that ideas. As I get into that my, uh, what is the academic research and, uh, try to, uh, what is the meet that the criteria or I mean, meet the, what expectation of the main proposed one that everything is combined together and done it this the same concept of this industry. I mean, the industry expectation, the current scenario is doing in industry.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:24:06
Get into that my teaching and I explain with that my, uh, students of, uh, third year and uh, final year students in practical manners. Uh, apart from, uh, apart from the, the teaching, only the syllabus, uh, oriented, uh, only that you have been syllabus only that I'm correlating them in practical as well as a theory. What is the industry is doing this type of the, what is the concept, this type of the product, everything. Is relating to the real time concept.
Dr. A. Venkatesan 0:24:11
