Two More Research Papers Now Available on IEEE Xplore

 I am pleased to share that two of my research papers are now available on IEEE Xplore, one of the leading digital libraries for research and technical literature.

Research has always been an important part of my academic journey. Every research work provides an opportunity to explore a problem, learn something new, collaborate with fellow researchers and contribute to the existing body of knowledge.

I am thankful to my co-authors, research scholars, colleagues and students for their valuable contributions and support in these research activities.

The availability of these papers on IEEE Xplore is a satisfying milestone and encourages me to continue working in the areas of technology, engineering and applied research.

A Proud Moment – Successful Completion of Ph.D. Viva-Voce of My student

 

It is a matter of great happiness and pride to share that my research scholar, Mr. Kiran Balakrishna Kadakuntla (USN: 2SD20PEC02), has successfully completed his Ph.D. Final Viva-Voce Examination on 07/08/2026 at SDM College of Engineering & Technology, Dharwad.

Kiran's doctoral research work is titled “Enhancement Framework for Detection and Classification of Diabetic Macular Edema.” His research involved the development and evaluation of computational and deep-learning-based approaches for the detection and classification of Diabetic Macular Edema from medical images.

As a research supervisor, I am extremely happy to see Kiran reach this important milestone after years of sincere effort, learning, experimentation and perseverance.

I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the External Examiner, Internal Examiner, Doctoral Committee members, faculty colleagues, research scholars, and all those who extended their guidance, encouragement, cooperation and good wishes throughout this research journey.

A Ph.D. is not merely the completion of a thesis; it is a journey of patience, perseverance, learning and continuous improvement. I am happy that Kiran has successfully completed this journey.

Congratulations, Kiran, on this significant achievement. May this accomplishment be the beginning of many more successful milestones in your academic and professional career.
