Ms Savitha J

Assistant Professor

About

I am an accomplished professional with an MTech in Microelectronics and Control Systems. My professional journey is driven by a passion for innovation and excellence in the fields of Machine Learning (ML) and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). With a robust academic foundation in microelectronics and control systems, I have developed a deep understanding of the intricate design and optimization of electronic circuits and systems.

In parallel, my interest in Machine Learning has enabled me to harness the power of data-driven algorithms to create intelligent systems. I thrive on developing sophisticated ML models that can learn, adapt, and make informed decisions, pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation.

The convergence of ML and VLSI is where I find my true calling. By integrating machine learning capabilities into hardware systems, I aim to create efficient, intelligent, and cutting-edge solutions.
