Engineering students to present papers at international meet

Staff Reporter

CHENNAI: The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) has invited two students of MGR Educational and Research Institute, a deemed university in Chennai, to present their papers at a symposium on `Optics and Photonics' in August.

The students will get a travel and contingency grant.

Amit K. Choubey's paper, `DAQ - a complete design,' and Ravi Raushan's paper,`An improved version of DAS,' were selected.

Amit's paper explores data acquisition systems using reprogrammable platforms. Ravi is a recipient of the `Newport Spectra Physics Award for Excellence in Research' for 2006 from the U.S. Among the various papers presented by the duo are dissertations on the `Data Acquisition System,' which they presented at a conference in China.

The students hope that the U.S. consulate would speed up their visa procedure so that they can present their papers at the international symposium to be held in San Diego from August 13 to 17.

The students have, at various points of time, undergone special training in a Chinese electronics company in Beijing.

They say they would not have succeeded in their efforts without the support of the institution's chairman, A.C. Shanmugam; managing director S. Arun Kumar, joint registrar (finance) R. Kalavathy and head of the ECE department E. Kavitha.
