SPEECH
Dr. Somesh Kumar, Student Branch Counselor, delivered an informative address highlighting the structure and global framework of IEEE. He explained the role of IEEE Student Branches (SBs) and Student Branch Chapters (SBCs) in promoting technical learning, professional development, and leadership among students.
During his speech, he elaborated on the different IEEE Regions worldwide, emphasizing how regional activities support local innovation while maintaining global connectivity. He also introduced various IEEE technical societies, describing their focus areas and how membership in these societies enables students to engage in specialized research, technical events, and international collaborations.
He encouraged students to actively participate in IEEE Student Branch Chapters, join relevant societies, and utilize IEEE resources to enhance their technical expertise and professional growth.
Biography:
Dr. Somesh Kumar joined the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (ABV-IIITM), Gwalior in 2019, where he is currently an Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Before joining IIITM Gwalior, Dr. Kumar was an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Nagpur (IIITN), Nagpur. He has established the Interconnect Focus Lab (IFL), Drone Lab, High Frequency Simulation Lab, HDL Lab, Digital and Analog Electronics Lab for UG and PG students.
Dr. Kumar received the B. Tech. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Kurukshetra University (Ch. Devilal Memorial Government Engineering College) in 2009, the M. Tech degree in VLSI Design & CAD from Thapar University in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Ravi Kumar. He did Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in 2018. His Ph. D. supervisor was Prof. Rohit Y. Sharma - with whom he learned the rudiments of high-speed interconnect design and 3D IC Design. During his doctoral studies, he worked on modeling, fabrication and performance benchmarking of on-chip and chip-to-chip interconnects considering surface roughness. His current research interests include Application of Machine Learning in the Design and Analysis of Interconnects and Packages, Modeling and Fabrication of High-Speed Interconnects, 3D Integration and Design of Through-Silicon-Via (TSV), Antenna for 5G And 6G Applications, Interconnect Architecture for Network-On-Chips, Digital and Analog VLSI Design, Flexible Devices, Nanoscale Device Modelling and Simulation, Reversible Circuits, IOT-Based Hardware Design and Biosensors.
