OK, thank you. Thank you for inviting me. This is this is Doctor R Uma Mageshwari, associate professor in electrical and electronics engineering. I have 17 years of experience in teaching, research and academic leadership experience. I completed my PH3IN electrical and electronics from Anna University in 2020. My core expertise includes power electronics, multi level inverter.

Renewable energy system, uh, smart micro grids and uh, IoT based energy applications. And moreover, I have your knowledge about that artificial intelligence tools for using your research and academics. I have published a research papers in Scopus, Sci I triple explore and UGC journals. I hold multiple Indian and international patent in.

Hod, Nat Coordinator, NBA Coordinator Right now I am I have a research coordinator role. Also I play that I actively mentor the students for hackathon, startups and innovation activities. I I am passionate about outcome based educations, quality research and institutional development. I look forward contributing to VIPs academic and research. Excellent, thank you.

Dr.

Is.

Could you please clarify your statement? Are you referring to something specific?

OK.

It's so my role is played in yours in separately, but it is along with your students guidance. It's my strength, my research and then innovations.

I understand, Professor. Please feel free to elaborate further if there's anything you'd like to emphasize or discuss additionally.

OK, actually I have applied for that artificial intelligence and machine learning professor role. Why? Because because I I finished that PhD in electrical engineering, but I have applied in artificial intelligence and machine learning professor role. Why? Because that is I have completed that innovating ambassador. That is sponsored by a city, so right now.

Uh, that is. Uh, right now the AECT is provided that quality improvement that is in PG level. So that is it is very which is very useful for that core department Staffs. OK, So if you are permitted me that is, I have complete, I have to complete that course. So definitely I have eligible for working in your artificial and machine learning tools. OK, so. Why? Because why I am telling for this? Because I trained, I trained based on that, yeah, AI tools and then I have completed that short term courses in Python And then artificial intelligence tools for research and academics. So I well known that. So if you are permitted in PG level courses in quality improvement program. Sponsored by the AICT that is once I have finished this course.

I am eligible for working as the artificial intelligence and machine learning professor. OK, That's why I have applying for this kind of job, OK, so and moreover, that is in present days it is a most. Very popular causes. Among the world because so that's why I willing to learn, learn something about this.
