Verilog is a HARDWARE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE (HDL). It is a language used for describing a digital system like a network switch or a microprocessor or a memory or a flip−flop. It means, by using an HDL we can describe any digital hardware at any level. Designs, which are described in HDL are independent of technology, very easy for designing and debugging, and are normally more useful than schematics, particularly for large circuits.

Presented by Mrs. Priya Ananthakrishnan, Corporate Technical Trainer & Former Senior VLSI Trainer, ChipEdge Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bangalore.

About the Mentor (via LinkedIn):

“I am passionate about teaching and doing social service. My objective in life is to support atleast 1000 poor students for their education. I would like to become an entrepreneur. I am highly fascinated towards state-of-the-art technology. I regularly follow famous blogs on MIT news, deep learning and many more.

I always like to interact with young ambitious minds. Gave lots of guest lectures and key note talks in national level conferences and symposiums”

I work in the area of Underwater imaging and my thesis title is “Investigations into underwater imaging”.

Motivation behind my work:

Humans cannot go beyond 100 meters of water depth. Hence, in order to explore deep oceans (for oil and gas explorations) scientists use remotely operated vehicles (ROV) and out of the various sensors used, optical image sensor plays a major role for the navigation of the ROV. Underwater images can suffer from different types of degradations including color loss, noise due to floating particles, low contrast, skewing and blurring. Hence, for the proper navigation of the vehicle and exploration of deep ocean resources, Digital image processing plays an important in improving the Image quality. My work primarily revolves around enhancing the underwater image quality which is very much needed as a preprocessing step for effectively adopting the existing computer vision algorithms for underwater scenario.

About the Activity

Passionate, Accountable and a Student for Life.

Acculi Labs (Accurate Life Intelligence) brings down complex pathology tests to the pocket of clinicians and patients by replacing complexity with the help of mathematics and algorithms.

Lyfas (A Product of Acculi Labs Pvt. Ltd.) – is a Digital Biomarker/diagnostic/prognostic tool developed based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG). It detects blood volume changes and reflected light spectrum of blood chemistry in the microvascular bed of tissue. Gathers vital functional biomarkers and parameters like pulse rate variability (PRV) reflecting heart rate variability (HRV), cardiac dynamics, conduction and stress, autonomic nervous function, vascular function and ageing, lung function and oxygen saturation, physicochemical properties of the blood to name a few. Lyfas offers an opportunity for a continuous assessment of phenotypic / functional markers of health and illness, which is noninvasive, personalized and remote. It allows a low-cost and large population health assessment. Lyfas enable both the clinician and patient to collect a longitudinal data, retrospectively process the collected data to forecast possible critical or relevant medical situations. Therefore, it can be used as a risk and event prediction tool for life threatening conditions like heart attacks and strokes. As a participant tool in proactive healthcare system the physio-pathological and psycho-physiological data generated can predict the possible risk and onset of life threatening cardiometabolic and cerebrovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, the cumulative data generated can reflect the natural history and progression of chronic metabolic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, endocrine and nervous dysfunctions, asymptomatic vital organ dysfunction and failures. Alerting and enabling the physician to work in partnership with the patient towards a supervised self-management of the illness, restore health and quality of life.

About the Activity

Do you know what is the most under-utilized resource in this world?

It is the human potential.

My 20+ years work experience in the IT industry has given me tremendous exposure. But, i don’t think this alone qualifies me to start giving gyan on what people should or should not do in their life.

I believe, success in life has to have a balance.

Would you call a top-notch CEO or entrepreneur, who has screwed up his health or marriage to an irreversible point, as successful?

True success, according to me, has to reflect in all key aspects of life: Health, Finances, Relationships, Career, Social Standing and Spiritual (inner peace).

And, only a person who has achieved success in all these areas, should guide other people.

And this balance is even more important if you are an entrepreneur, or aspiring to be one. Irrespective of your line of business, you will have an impact on many people’s lives and their families, as a result of your entrepreneurial initiative.

So, i took up a personal challenge before i start “mentoring” anyone else.

I decided to put all that i have learnt through the ultimate test: building my own business!

• I might fail. It is better to try and fail than to regret that i never took a chance.

• I might risk losing a lot. If you don’t risk anything, you are actually risking everything.

• I know i will get scars from the ‘battle’. Getting wounded standing up for what you believe in, is better than falling for everything.

I was afraid. But I remember, my parents’ words: It is better to live for one day courageously, than to die every day as a coward.

I have been lucky to find the right kind of people, who guided me in my journey and lifted me up every time i fell down. I believe it is my turn to lend a helping hand to deserving people.

The mission of our two largest businesses is the same: helping people live a better life (one focuses on leadership/entrepreneurship development, the second one focuses on health and wellness).

With God’s blessings, we will reach our goal of helping 10,000 families be self-reliant before the end of this decade.

While we have big goals, I remember where i started from: a simple middle-class family, as a young boy, hoping to get a good job, just to earn enough to make a decent living.

It feels good to know what i am sharing is not just some theoretical gyan, but practical ideas that have been put to test.

The world is changing fast. This is the best time to stay open minded and make use of the emerging trends.

If you are ready, let’s connect.
