And I also served.

Interesting, Dr. Srinivasan. You've mentioned active research and publications indexed in Scopus—can you discuss one of your most recent Scopus-indexed articles and explain how its findings have influenced your approach to teaching core subjects like data mining or cloud computing?

Asia Inspection Committee member. Interval War University.

You've mentioned active research and publications indexed in Scopus—can you discuss one of your most recent Scopus-indexed articles and explain how its findings have influenced your approach to teaching core subjects like Java programming or data mining?

I have. In M uh for. So M Phil Scholars. And got a guide ship from the Thiruvallur University. I had. Uh, I have a guided. More than. More projects support the MCA and M Phil students.

Understood. You mentioned obtaining patents, with two granted and two published—can you walk me through the process you followed to take one of your research concepts from idea to granted patent, and what challenges you encountered during that journey?

This is my small introduction. Anthony about my academic. In personal, I'm not married. I had a 2. Children's elder is a. Daughter. Now she's completed and B. The my son is doing in 10th to standard. Thank you. For my introduction.

Thank you for sharing your extensive background. You mentioned guiding many MCA and MPhil student projects—can you describe a specific student research project you supervised that stands out, and explain how you helped the student navigate key challenges in that work?

Thank you for sharing those details, Professor. You mentioned serving as an NBA coordinator for Criteria 5—can you describe a specific challenge you encountered during the accreditation process and how you addressed it?

Exactly. Because, um.

Because I have to take a role for his very challenging role. Because based on the criteria Phi, they are analyzing all the faculty achievements. So when I am joining this institute. That time they have only for, uh. 11 to 13 faculties in our department. That time there is no any that much of, uh, achievements on that time. First NBA. So that time we got a minimum score of that in department. After that. With my initiation. I have to conduct the more programs in our department. Then I have to instruct the faculty to attend the FDPS. They are. Instructed to publish the more papers in the journey. So in the currently, for example, last month we had a one visit from NBA peoples. Now we have to score more marks in the particular criteria. This is I thought this is my achievement for that.

Right, Professor. When you were coordinating NBA Criteria 5, what specific data or evidence did you find most difficult to collect or validate, and how did you ensure its accuracy for the review?

Yeah.

Understood. When you were coordinating NBA Criteria 5, what specific data or evidence did you find most difficult to collect or validate, and how did you ensure its accuracy for the review?

Understood. You mentioned encouraging faculty to publish more papers and attend faculty development programs—can you share a specific strategy or initiative you implemented to motivate your colleagues, and how you measured its impact?

Yeah, exactly. I mentioned for example, I have to measure. Each faculty I have to publish in one journal. For each semester. According to that strategy I have to follow that. And also I had I had to conduct a more national FDP program. For lost. One and half a year.

Thanks for clarifying. When you set the expectation that each faculty member should publish one journal paper per semester, how did you support those who struggled to meet this goal?

Yeah, because I have to support that, I have to arrange the some experts. Talk, for example, how to write the papers. And how you have to discovering the research. And what are the related tools are associated in that research? And you're very frequently I have to conduct the. Uh, workshops and, uh, what is that in seminars? For that, my faculty. So I hope that is maximum they have to use for. Uh, they are utilizing that services. After that they have to interested to publishing more papers for in. The frequent time.

Let's discuss your research ambitions for the next few years. Professor, could you outline your three-year research roadmap—including your primary focus areas, plans for securing external funding, and how you intend to translate your work into high-impact publications?

In very. What is that? Then I have to submit the proposal in the book.

Thank you, Professor. You mentioned your recent work on medical diagnostics using AI and cloud computing—can you describe the most significant technical hurdle you've faced in that research so far, and how you approached solving it?

Yeah, because if you are nowadays they are peoples are struggling. For uh, what is that in uh? Personal interaction to this in hospital they have to struggling lot for finding the diagnosis and all. So because every hospital we have to see, there are lot of crowds are there. So if I am awarding that I have to use the cloud computing. That each human. They have to diagnose the this is. From their own devices. That I have to plan for my each and our own mobile application. I have to plan to mobile application for. Using that I have to deduct the humans. They have to own decision, they have to. Sorry, the they are. They're digging the owner. This is for their own devices. That is my main aim for.

Let's talk about your teaching methods. For a large-enrollment course, how would you implement an active learning approach—such as a flipped classroom—without relying on traditional slides or lectures?

Yeah. So maximum I have to utilize it for the experimental manner. For example, I'll conduct the group discussion in the classes. Then I have to uh. Uh, pick some aids, Uh, it's related to that, uh, component and all. So with the help of that edge, I have to explain the students. Uh, then have maximum they have give the. Topics to conduct the seminars. The recording that they have to maximum, they are enhancing the students in the classrooms.

You mentioned using group discussions and hands-on aids—can you share an example of a student project you've guided that leveraged emerging technologies, and explain how you ensured its successful completion?

And apart from? Apart from and slider actually in PPT presentation. Maximum I have to use for the video lectures. Even if I am taking particular topic, I collect that particular topic in exact. Very imminent Faculties. Lectures. That lectures I have to uh. Uh, visualize to the students. During that visualization I have to interact the students. I have to clarify the doubts on the students at that at the at the during time of the installation.

You mentioned using group discussions and hands-on aids—can you share an example of a student project you've guided that leveraged emerging technologies, and explain how you ensured its successful completion?

I don't get your point.

So can you repeat the question?

Thank you, Professor. Accreditation often depends on evidence-based metrics like “research per faculty.” If tasked with systematically improving your department’s research output for the next accreditation cycle, what concrete steps would you take to document progress and drive sustainable improvement?

Of course, Professor. Can you give a specific example of a student project you supervised that used a new or emerging technology, and describe the steps you took to help the student successfully complete it?

Exactly because now I'm in Andhra Pradesh in my area. Uh, because, uh, their, uh, tomato growing is heavy in that area. At the time of growing the tomato, the lot of tomatoes, they are going to be a waste here. So in that waste. A situation they have to spoil the environment. Based on that I give the instruction some one of the student. They're creating a one app. So with the help of that app. They easily then surrounding people, they're identifying where the Toronto wastages are appearing in that that area. They have to conduct it to the local municipality. The moon's quality, they have to come back to that particular area, they clear that. And after that I want to enhance this application. That I have to give some solution to the students what I give the technically I supported the students for developing that app. And also I plan to enhance that application. Because I, uh, after collecting that wastage, I have to make it uh. What is that organic, uh, I have to use for the organic, uh, for I have to grow the again, the growth of the plant, that thing I have to, uh, under the process.

Thank you for sharing that. Now, let's consider a scenario: suppose a student accuses you of grading bias, but your department is under pressure to meet institutional pass-percentage targets. How would you address this situation while upholding both academic integrity and institutional expectations?

What is that SAR? A complicated completed my task. Uh, actually because of that thing, then that part, uh, critical situation. So I have to allotted some. Particular hours. For how to do my, uh, research, then how to do my publication and all. So based on that hour then I have to for example in college times enough. After five also I have to work in the labs. So then I have to commit, uh, I have to complete my commitments and all.

Thank you for elaborating on your approach. Professor, how would you use your professional connections or industry network to create internship or employment opportunities for your students, especially in areas like AI in media or multimedia?

Yes, exactly. Uh, because, uh, because I have some connection with, uh, inter our industrial peoples. So I'm, I'm regularly, I have to touch, I have to touch with that persons. Because and recently also in my I have to help to my mentees. For getting the internship. In that particular, uh. Institute because one of the some of the cloud computing and AI institutes also. They are visited in my institution. They are analyzing the student. They have to take off, they give, they're given the internship for that.

Now, I'd like to verify a few core competencies for this role. Can you explain how you've applied multimedia or artificial intelligence technologies in a real-world media project, focusing on your specific technical contributions?

My multimedia and artificial still now.

Understood. Can you describe your experience teaching both theory and laboratory courses, and give a specific example of how you adapted your approach to help students who were struggling with practical concepts?

So for example if I'm taking Java programming. I will instruct the. For example, I have to take the theory for interface and packages. So in that first I have to complete the theory concept. So based on the interface and packages, I'll give the small examples and I have to explain the example through the PPT. So after that, I'll give the a small, small assessment to the students. Then I have to go for my experiment. So that experiment I have give the algorithms to the students first. Based on the algorithms I instructed to write the program. So then students, they follow the algorithm, they understand the concept. Based on that, the students will uh. Write the program. For for particularly in that.

You mentioned giving students algorithms before they write programs—can you describe a time when a student was still struggling after these steps, and explain how you adjusted your teaching to help them grasp the practical concept?

Yes, I face more uh. In this situation. In my classrooms. Uh, because some of them they are struggling for understanding the algorithm. So that time, what had to date? Again I have to give the uh, full explanation about the concept. Based on the concept I have to. Write the algorithm for. Uh, if I have to write the algorithm on the board. So based on that written, they have to understand the algorithm. Then I'll give the instruction to write the program.

Thank you. Now, can you walk me through how you structure your evaluation process during exams or assessments to ensure fairness and consistency across all students?

Because I'm not able to see the fairness for all the students. So based on because they are given the key in our university, they are in online evaluation, they are given the they provide the keys also. So based on the key and based on the step what they have to write and that. Uh, based only I have to evaluate it?

Got it. Can you describe your approach to communicating complex technical topics to students who have varying levels of background knowledge in the subject?

In that time what I have to do? Uh, before you go in, uh, before I'm going to teach that concept. So based on based what are the basic basic requirements need the student for understanding that concept. That I have to explain first. So after that I already stated, you know, for example, so, so many but eminent faculties are lectures. I have to suggest to the students. They, uh, suggest the students to watch continuously. So this is the I have a solution for clarifying the. Complicated topics.

Thank you. Could you share an example of how you have guided a student through a project or research activity, specifically focusing on the steps you took to help them overcome a major obstacle during the process?

Yeah, before I am assigning the project to my mentees. 1st I have to UH instruct the student to collect the UH base. So after they collected the base paper, they come and meet me. So I will give the. I'll I'll give the work to the students. For analyzing the paper. So I'll give the instruction to make it a table. For analyzing a paper, what are the methods they are used? And that method. What are the limitations? Are there that thing I have to? That thing I have to. Tell the students. They have to make a table, column and all. After that based on that. They are finding the limitation. Then I'll give the instruction how the you people are overcoming that limitation. So based on that I will instruct. They are finding the algorithm. Then they're finding the, uh, best algorithm for overcoming that, uh, existing limitations. Then they have to start the project.

And each Phase I have to monitoring the student.

You mentioned instructing students to analyze papers and identify limitations—can you give a concrete example of a limitation a student found, and describe how you advised them to select or develop a new algorithm to address it?

You mentioned monitoring students through each phase of their project—can you give a specific instance where your guidance directly helped a student overcome a research or implementation challenge they faced midway?

Yeah, uh. For example. After collecting the literature survey. So the people, the students are not able to what is that not able to find the? A real problem. So that time I have to help the student to find the real problem. Then I'll give the instruction to the. Programming languages how we are using for? Defining that component or defining the function for that. This is all I have to help the students for. Avoiding that circumstances.

Thank you for clarifying. Professor, how do you approach communicating feedback to students on their project progress to ensure they remain motivated and understand areas for improvement?

Students, they have a. The reviews, are they? Uh, for example, umm uh. Monthly. Once. They are in our department. They conduct the review. So based on that review, the review will be arranged by the panel members. Each and every student, they have their own record. In that record, the panel members will write the commands. So based on that feedback I have to collect. I collect the feedback about my mentees. After that I have to decide that which applications is going on that statistic I have to analyze. Based on that feedback I have to analyze the statistics. Then I'll give the solution to the particular students.

Thank you. Professor, could you outline your process for preparing and submitting research publications to reputed journals, including how you select journals and handle peer review feedback?

Based on the index of that publication. And what is the impact of the publication? That I have to see before I want to publish. So that based on that criteria other apart from that in my institute they give some list of journals. So, uh, stuff Q1 or Q2Q3 journals? So in based on that criteria only I have to select it, then I have to submit the papers on that particular journey.

Because based on the.

Right, you mentioned basing your publication process on certain criteria—can you give a specific example of how you selected a particular journal for one of your papers and how you responded to a challenging peer review comment?

Right, you mentioned basing your publication process on certain criteria—can you give a specific example of how you selected a particular journal for one of your papers and how you responded to a challenging peer review comment?

Actually my paper is analyzing IIS load balancing. Resource allocation using uh. A load balancer method. So in that time I have to give I if I am submitting this paper in computer. International Journal of computer science. In that Channel they give the some commands about my particular architecture. So that is I have to face that maximum, I have to face that problem, then I have to clear and keep on. I have to updating that comments on to the my channel.

Thank you for sharing that, Professor. Now, can you describe your experience working on industry projects or consultancy assignments, specifically highlighting a project where your academic expertise directly influenced the outcome?

Yeah, I have actually. Here I have one consultancy. For worth of ₹4,00,000. That is an industrial project. I received the project from the. Industries. In that project I have to de uh. Employee management system. So that I have to create the payroll management system for that application.

So that is the one of the project I have industrial project for. Enduring my PD I mean lost to two years.

For your payroll management system consultancy, can you describe a particular technical or business challenge you encountered and how you applied your academic knowledge to resolve it?

Understood. For your payroll management consultancy project, what specific academic concepts or methodologies did you apply to design or optimize the payroll processing workflow?

Actually. In the payroll process there is and before that. Uh, and the previous some of the application they don't have the. What is that attendance percentage for that employee? Here I have to introduce the Utness for the Biomet directly that biometric will connected. Application. And each and every, For example, in one employee, how many days will uh appear in that company? That will be called how many leaves they have to do so based on this I have to evaluate it. This result I have maximum it is a new one. It is I have to update enhanced in my application.

Thank you for explaining that enhancement. Can you provide a concrete example of how integrating biometric attendance data improved the accuracy or efficiency of payroll processing compared to the previous manual system?

Because it is a face recognization system. So, uh, when's the employee, the phase organization system, the employee? Each and every employee data I'm already, uh, uploaded in the database? So based on the. That image they are going to deduct the database. Then they're going to identify the employee. So in that criteria they have to analyzing whatever thing their company they said for evaluation for the for example, in one particular employee, they have to keep on, they have to take the leave for example automatically they have to alert it for the. What is that in? Uh, uh, Slovak employees like that. So based on that criteria, based on that company client requirement, I have to update it keep on.

That’s clear. Shifting to teaching, can you walk me through how you structure a typical laboratory session for students, including how you balance theory with hands-on practice?

Up in for example, I have two hours of the lab in in up to that. Two hours they have to walking around the students. That time you have to clear the doubts on each and every process of the students.

You mentioned clearing doubts during lab sessions—can you give an example of a specific technical concept students often struggle with in the lab, and how you help them grasp it during the session?

Yes, example. For example, in mobile application developments, some of the students they are not able to connect the. Uh, from Android to. Uh, application to the virtual devices? That time maximum the people are struggling while they are connecting the virtual devices. That time they have need. Some of the what are the software we have to install and all in that duration I have to more help to the students for connecting the virtual devices. And get the result on the emulator.

Thanks for the example. When students face issues setting up the emulator, how do you assess whether the problem is due to a lack of theoretical understanding of Android architecture, or just a practical software installation issue?

If I am avoiding this issues, I have to before I'm starting the class that I even I'm starting. Application. What are the tools they want to install? The steps also I have to tout to the students.

I teach the students how they have to install the software step by step. So based on that student will be installed in the. Their own laptop they have to practice in the home. So they, they, I, I, I felt this is very. Maximum. This is maximum they have. Uh, they help to the students for doing. Well, in the laboratories.

Understood. Professor, how do you ensure that your feedback during lab sessions is structured and actionable for each student, especially when they are at different levels of understanding?

Understood. Professor, can you share an example of how your approach to step-by-step instruction has helped a struggling student gain confidence and succeed in a laboratory or theory course?

Yeah, in laboratory they hire a projector. In that projector I have to display before I am teach the experiment I have to. My uh, what is that, uh, concept? And along with the concept, what are the tools we require that tools for example? If you want to do. React JS application in VS Code. And before we before I install this application, I'll explain how to install node JS in your. System. Then after installing that how you have to install the VS Code. Then after that installation I have to teach the first program for Hello world program. Then I'll start to. Then I'll go for teaching my. First experiments.

So I hope this is most help the students for. Uh, what is that? Uh, they don't have phasing any, uh. A critical situation for during this lab.

Thank you for detailing your instructional approach. Before we conclude, can you briefly describe how you evaluate and grade student performance in both theory and lab courses to ensure fairness and consistency?

Thank you for detailing your instructional approach. Before we wrap up, do you have any questions about the role or our organization? You may ask up to two.

Actually I have a only one question because now I am currently in assistant professor. But I because I want to what is that to promote the associate purpose? I have to because I am completed my PhD in year 2021. But APNU, I mean more than four years has completed my post PhD experience. I'm expected to get the associate professor role in that institution.
