Good day, Dr. K. Dhanasekaran. I'm Arjun. I've had a look through your background and your professional record. I'm interested in hearing more about your work and how you see yourself fitting in here with our faculty. Ready to start?

So sorry, Con.

No problem, Professor. Could you please introduce your professional journey in academia?

Yeah, sure. I'm ready to advertisement myself. First of all, I say the tax to the institution to give me this opportunity. I'm.

Actually I'm gay Doctor Kedansha. I did my schooling in San Michael Metric High security school for up to 12th standard. After that I continue my.

Undergraduate degree in the Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Efforts and Communication Engineering vRS College of Engineering and Technology. After that, I continue my ME in VLSA design at SKP Engineering College in the year of 2012. After that I started my career in my life engineering college as an assistant professor. Up to the year of 2025, I continued as an assistant professor in Myanmar Engineering College and now I'm currently working in SRM Institute of Science and Technology Ramapuram.

And as I registered my PhD in the year of 2016 and I completed my PhD in the year of 2000 2020 2 and the PhD has been registered in the in the University of Anna University. And so far I completed my UG as well as PG and then my PhD in an anonymity.

So we have a PhD title is REINFORCE optimization using enhanced algorithm based Stago analysis for image transformations and so forth. I'm having the teaching experience in the era of 13 years and four months apart during my.

As an ordinary faculty and assigned workflow is as my subject coordinator. After that, I'll just move on while I can classify Basel and we became as a student at the association advisor and then we a students department sports activity coordinator. At last, I'm be promoted as an MD agitation and appeal of an aggregation coordinator and funding committee in charges and also I'll be act as a research and development in charges in biomechanical act. Now currently I'm working in.

Get it Carrier processing actually, actually I'm playing a lots of role in myeloma engineering college and I'm we moved myself as a good professor. Actually I started my career in mile engineering career as a faculty.

Instead of science and technology in Nisaram, I'm here here coordinator for first year EC department and also I'm in the one of the I am the.

I am the maintenance in charge, yeah.

Thank you

Yup.

Thank

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's actually my PhD domain area is in in my digital image processing. Actually the digital nowadays we are all know that that is the great development in artificial intelligence and then machine learning actually the base of artificial intelligence and machine learnings based on only the image processing. Actually I thought the subject in my life engineering college for more than five times and also have the knowledges in the e-mail processing with the support of that only I started with PhD based on e-mail processing and then VLS.

Let’s verify your qualifications for this role. We’ll begin with teaching: How do you ensure students effectively understand both theory and lab components in a technical subject like "Image Processing"?

Yeah, sure. Actually I started my actually I'm started to teaching the students in a multiple ways. Actually the first way is I plan to teach the students in a blackboard techniques. After that I started with the techniques with the support of PPDS and then I started to teach the students in an working models. After third, I can demonstrate that what all the things has been done in the students. At last the students are also I insist the students and also.

You mentioned teaching Image Processing multiple times. Could you provide specific strategies or techniques you've employed to help students grasp complex topics within this field effectively?

Aid the students to do the projects in an e-mail processing. So if there students has been guided. If the students has been done a project in an image policy means he can easily understand that.

Subject So basically I started my sorry. Basically I done the approaches to the students for an image for an project based learning method.

Yeah.

Yup.

So actually I'm trying the students if the students just are classifying the students in a 2 categories 1 is in Villa Ridge and explosion aboard. Even we know that the above average students as well and good for all the insection given by the instructor or teaching Staffs. But the below average students has been somewhat dull when we are institution has been given. So at the time we need to give monitoring to the students. Even the below average students should not be understandable concept as as much as clear. So we need to some more.

How do you handle evaluating students, especially when balancing theoretical exams and practical assignments in technical subjects like Image Processing?

Effort and we must find them as like a 1 to 1 interaction and give and then create an interest to the particular image passing subject. And then make the students to do a simple projects as like at doing the query process and doing the like just capturing the image and convert the image from color to black and white or convert the images from pixel value like that and explain the queries. And if we started and give and get the students who want to 1 means the.

This is easily can get an capture on e-mail passing and he can do that processing.

Uneasily here I understand that subject also.

Yeah.

Now let's discuss your research experience. Could you elaborate on your Ph.D. work, especially how it advances the field of Image Processing?

Yeah, actually the PhD office mainly based on the image bossing. In this image bossing, I'm concentrate on the security area and we are on note that that is a lot of threatening in a security areas. And what are the threat things If I'm sending an image to some other person means that is the possibility for third person to have the image. Then I started to do the research how the third person has been at the image. The main thing and the main focus is that third person is easily.

At the e-mail, if we send the regular process method or if we use the regular algorithms. So I plan to that and make an three different algorithms to initiate that undoing the process where I'm using the first algorithm is called it as an TLB teaching learning based optimization algorithms that this teaching learning based optimization optimization algorithm is used to convert that given message signal and sorry before that I'm going to.

At that signal I'm going to add the cover image. So I'm just considering the message as well as the cover image and add the message signal to my cover image. This process has been take on over by the. After taking this process I'm doing that using the. Another algorithm is called it as butterfly optimization algorithm and this. BA sorry, POA algorithm is used to just.

Make a different kind of a rotation and shifting process to make a somewhat confusions in the assembly options. After that using.

After that I'm using the third algorithm that this third algorithm should be used to create yet security key for my images and the security key has been centered to the particular receiver. After the receiver receive the key and also I'm sending the signal and also I'm sending the images to the receiver. If the receiver received the image and the given and also if we insert the gibbet key means then they can get the proper message signal. Suppose if anyone.

Been happy Mike given images means surely they can't identify that I'm using the three kind of different images. Suppose if they try for butterflies optimization algorithm image means then they.

Don't know that how the image has been like that. I started like a image passing research one. Actually I plan to implement internal VSC level. Also my even though my future scope is I need to implement in the real team projects.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that my research is really we can utilize in Realtek images. Sonam said that I've started my research work by saying that in real time images like that, actually I need to send you a message to some person. So I hide the message with the support of images. That is called steganography and that is called different cryptography. Nowadays there is lots and lots of cybersecurity threatening and lots and lots of cyber.

How do you see your research impacting applied fields, such as industry-level applications or real-world security measures?

Death has been happened. These are all happened. The simply example is that we all know that and most of all using the computers and laptops and also we are all using the mobile phones. But the only mistake we can done is we are all save the passwords in computers, laptops under mobile phones and it should be automatically entered the password if we give the auto password options. So this kind of an theft has been happened if the hackers has been and regularly we are also receiving that e-mail.

A lot from that mail ID and also message alert to the particular banking sector. Why I'm saying that means they are also insist us to change the password for particular duration. For example, change the password goal use the same password for three months or don't use the same password for six months like that and that so after that we need to change the password. Why I'm saying that means if even though the banking sector also could have the awareness of the cyber threatening and also awareness of the cyber threat.

It's only there insisting us to change the passwords. If my project has been implemented in real time means there is no issues that has been happening in a real team project. Even the single user can use the same password throughout the lifetime and no one can be had no puzzle. Because if I'm insisting if I'm type that passcode in a particular vectors means the password has not disciplined to anyone even though the banking sector also. So William said that it should be implemented in a real time.

A much more benefit to all the users.

Your research clearly addresses critical cybersecurity challenges, particularly in securing sensitive data like passwords through advanced encryption and steganography techniques. Pivoting back to your teaching responsibilities: How do you guide students in combining theoretical research with practical, real-world applicability?

Actually in our actually in our country, we are having the subject knowledge based on only the basic level. For example, if I'm going to teach that their image processing subject means as a staff I teach only the knowledge as per my syllabus. So in this syllabus it's defined only the basic knowledge and based on that basic knowledge. For example, the image processing has been done by the following methods. The one of the method is e-mail segmentations. What is?

Missing conditions, nothing, but I'm just going to sync with the images for following parts like a two or four parts just like that. At that time I give the instruction to the students just for an hands on. It's an easy to make the students to an answer method. Also just take a pepper, just fold the paper and just carry it. This is the bait. It's called it as an image bossing. If I'm giving the image, I need to segment this images and make a.

With an some other caisson rules concept also.

You effectively use hands-on techniques and creative analogies, like paper segmentation, to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applicability. Let’s now focus on your experience with student evaluations. How do you approach assessment and feedback to support diverse learners' progress?

Sorry, I can't.

Sorry, I can't get it what you're asking.

How do you evaluate student performance and provide constructive feedback, especially considering students with varying levels of understanding?

Yeah, it's actually I can evaluate the students and the error know that our system is only evaluate the students based on that.

Particular exams are apart of the Rajiv's teacher. I'm having the internal capabilities. So only we our system has been split the students into an internal marks as well as external marks. So as a teacher I'm having the internal marks valuations. So for the particular internal marks valuation I'm give the insection to the students. The particular particular CLA exams or internal exams should be consist of the following marks. Apart from that given test I need to I.

Given the uh, assignments and plan to give the quiz, uh, questions and plan to give the projects. And I plan to give the students, which is should be capable for, uh, getting the idea for the real time problem. Because in university, we can easily, if the students here in e-mail passing, we can easily attract the students. For example, uh, we all know that every, each and every students can cross the signals daily once. And the signal is also we can say it doesn't the signal.

Also, e-mail passing signal how the color of the image has been varied and how the how our eye has been captured. The e-mail like that insist the students and motivate them to make a real team problem also. So based on the parameters of internal assessment, assignment submissions and risk, apart from the projects and apart from the real-time problem solutions like that method, we can easily evaluate the students and make them has been much more.

Export in the particular subject.

Understood. You combine structured exams, assignments, quizzes, and real-world problem-solving to assess and develop student expertise comprehensively. Now, let’s discuss your experience guiding student research and projects. Can you share an example of a student project you supervised and how you supported its success?

Yeah, sure. It's my pleasure to chat actually.

Well, I mean by let me drink college.

I'm having their alerted me as an single batch for each and every years and after the year of after gaining the year of five plus years, I'm alerting for they're alerting for me as in two projects per years. So during that time at first I'm get doing that. At first I just I call the students and ask the interest of area of the interest. Suppose the students has been interested in an image policy means I just gave this few examples today.

The e-mail question doesn't feel this much of an issues and today, nowadays these are all the issues should be happened. And also asking the idea from the students what are the things which is based on them. Suppose some batches having much more interested in VLSH and also having the knowledges in VLSH. Because my Emmy domain isn't VLSA design. So if the students has been much more interested in VLSI means I'm giving them some ideas about VLSI in particular SoC sleep on chip concept after that.

Now after joining Nessara instead of Science and technology, so for I dated the two badges in the past years. So sorry so forget to the two packets in the past semester. In these two batches, the students are much more interested in electromagnetic fields, so just insist them to create the field effect transistors and insist them to make the physical PCB layout concept. And then I just motivate them to make it work model as like an.

That's not effects and that's like an some students are interested in VLSC also. I make them to gather them and create them some other chips called silicon and chip concept layer and make a PCB layout design for the particular task.

You adapt project guidance based on students' interests, leveraging your expertise in areas like Image Processing and VLSI. By encouraging real-world applications, such as field-effect transistors and silicon chip designs, you ensure meaningful outcomes. Shifting focus—have you published any of your work in reputed journals? If so, could you highlight a significant publication and its academic impact?

Yeah, sure. So far I'm having the 10 publications in an various journals and then conference publications. In the era of 2018, I just published a paper in the International Journal of Engineering and Technology. The way the paper should be kind of the name of the paper is a computational approach of highly secure hash algorithm for color image technography using edge direction and any encryption algorithm. In the year of 2020 I published. The paper in a Computational Intelligence by Bailey journalist, where the paper is my PhD research.

But but these two pepper is hot my PhD research work, but the second paper should be titled as an A robust image technology using teaching learning based optimization based edge detection model for smart city. And after that, in the year of 2021, just I'm completing my pH. After completion of a PhD, I continue my research work and also started publishment paper. So in this year of 2021, I published a paper in International Journal of Engineering research and then technology under the topics of concealment of data using.

Sorry

That must be consultment of data with MSB using modified secure hash algorithm. In the year of 2000, 2020 2, I just published a paper in a neuroquantology in the under the title of Cryptography and Signography for Secure Data Transmission in Medical application. And the year of 2025 just now I published a paper under the topic of energy harvesting technique for self-sustaining wearable and remote environment. These are the quite. Trouble should be published in the journal at the apartment. Apart from that, so.

Publishing that file I typically conference members and we should be elder in a different locations. That one of the locations of my IDV paper has been published in an SCADA College of Engineering and technology and 2nd paper should be published in monocular vinegar in front of technology. That I'm using the best paper award energy instead of science and technology and apart from the I'm also published the papers in.

Institution of Electronics Telecommunication Engineering the year of 2025. So far I'm accomplishing the 10th purpose in my journal in various repeated journals and also conferences.

It’s impressive that you’ve published ten papers in reputed journals and conferences, particularly with notable topics like secure data transmission and energy harvesting techniques. Among these, which one do you believe had the most significant academic or industry impact, and why?

Among that actually so far I'm publishing the purpose in a two different areas. One is an security analysis and next one is an energy harvesting. Actually for the industry needed we need these two terms only. Why I'm saying that means if we need to save the energies based on them, then the energy has been increases. Means if I send the data or if I send the images from one person, send it to receiver means the particle based on the images the energy.

Has been consumed much and more. So how can we reduce the energies when I'm sending the even sending the large file. Also how the energies has been reduced if the energy has been started reduces means the space is also reducible. So the starter now in the area of energy harvested. And so I'm conclude that if the industry has been needed both the energy harvesting and the security areas. So only I'm focusing on both the trick.

Your focus on both energy harvesting and security is highly relevant, addressing critical industry needs. Transitioning now: Have you been involved in consulting or industry projects that further bridge your academic work to practical applications?

Actually so far I'm not involved any industry based projects apart from the academic part. I need to I want to need it. I want need to say that apart from my academic so far I'm receiving the fund from various organization for.

Telling the projects and apart from that I'm receiving the funder from Tamil Nadu State Council of Science and Technology format finally for the students projects also.

Also receiving the fund from non technique schemes for doing the projects for the students.

You’ve successfully secured academic funding to support student projects and research. Looking ahead, how would you leverage this experience to pursue large-scale industry collaborations or funded research initiatives?

It's actually the large scale.

Uh, consultancy projects for the company and then we need to prove the company whether we are having the sustainable knowledge which they company has been expected. So once I prove that I need a team of a student, so just I need to train the students and make them to do the consultancy projects and I going to gain the students. How can we done the consultancy quality after done the consultancy projects, just we get plan to move it and block scale options. If I've done a few numbers of consultancy projects for the few companies means they can.

Industry collaboration has been turning its not an single way or it's not an magic to do it processing just we need to approach the company and we first get the.

Understand my knowledge is and also understand my team members then they give much more efforts and they get ready to release this much more fund for and it's easily made to create a large scale processing for the industry projects also.

You say I said it doesn't even conduct the same curriculum delivery mails. Based on the curriculum delivery I can use the whiteboard options or the PowerPoint presentations. And also there is the possibility for video classing options. And one more option is can modeling concept. Rather modeling concept has been just. You can classify the two types 1 is a handsome modeling concept and by next one is a 3D modeling concept. So based on the.

You’ve outlined a pragmatic approach, starting with smaller consultancy projects to build credibility and gradually scaling to larger industry collaborations. Let’s now evaluate your approach to structured teaching. How do you plan and structure your curriculum delivery for technical subjects to ensure both depth and clarity?

But based on this kind of approaches we can.

Create a curriculum approaches in good manner for effective teacher.

You utilize diverse methods like whiteboards, PowerPoint, video lectures, and hands-on or 3D modeling to enhance curriculum delivery. How do you ensure students remain engaged and consistently connect theoretical concepts to practical applications?

So actually I engage the students to with our.

Application concept means it's simple.

The one and only thing is first we need to create an awareness about that. What else? What is mainly application?

That's it. It's an easiest to say that what is name age crossing? What is image segmentation? The image segmentation just we can segmented that image is into the end number of pieces. But this kind of delivery should not be impact the students and should not be attacked the student at that time we need to make the students to do.

That only I'm saying that.

Things, how can we make the students based on the island things. So if we create the awareness to the students regarding the application oriented means, just imagine that.

One of the topic in the image passing is an encryption and decryption. But students don't know that what is the encryption? What is my decryption like that I'm asking The encryption is nothing but the sender has to send the image.

With some hidden power and decryption means the receiver should be receive the image and decrypt the.

Original message this is the this is the decryption at the time we need to explain the students for how it should be acting application manner. Just see your WhatsApp or just imagine that I need to send the message to my friend just hi. Actually the hi is my original message. Actually the receiver also received the original but during the time of the processing just I type them as HI and using the send button. The send button should be started to encrypt it. So encrypted means.

That hedge and then height can be change in in different formers and that different format has been sended to the receiver. Once the receiver click the received option means they can receive the messages and in the forward of HH. So the different format of message should be get back to the original message. This is the concept of encryption and decryption. If you need to explain the students in an application level projects or application concept means we need to ready to say that in the way of based on the.

Done by students are we need to say with that real-time examples.

Actually the maintaining process is the owner of the most important causes in teaching field. Because if we easily said it as in the only word called it as semantic. Actually the role often mentor is not only for the academic and also it is the role he the mentor should give the personal.

You emphasize creating awareness by connecting theoretical concepts with relatable real-world examples, like encryption and decryption within messaging platforms, to engage students effectively. Now, let's discuss how you handle guiding students in their career paths. How do you mentor students in aligning their academic skills with their professional aspirations?

Personal details and montage taken personal care to them particular students so far academic growth. It is the supportable we are having the supportable platform that we're just monitoring the students Marks and just we can monitoring the academic activities and how the students has been involved in the classes. And apart from this, how the students has been participated in co-curgians and extracting activities. And apart from that, we must as a mentor, I must want to know that students.
