O autorze

Dr. Veena S. Chakravarthi is a Bangalore-based technologist, system-on-chip architect, and educator. In her career spanning over three decades, she has spawned several VLSI designs and  incubation centers and managed several high-performance tech teams at the Microelectronics Department of ITI Limited and across various multinational corporations, including Mindtree Consulting Pvt. Ltd., Centillium India Pvt. Ltd., Transwitch India Pvt. Ltd., Ikanos Communications Pvt. Ltd., Pereira Ventures, Asarva Chips and Technologies, Saankhya Labs, and Prodigy Technovations Pvt. Ltd. During this period, Dr. Chakravarthi has established herself as a leading architect in communications, optical and wireless, and IOT domains specializing in high-performance and low power system on chips (SoCs) solutions.  She co-founded Sensesemi Technologies Private Limited, a healthcare company, and was Research Head and Adjunct Professor at BNM Institution of Technology, Bangalore. She holds a Ph.D. in Low Power VLSI Design from Bangalore University and an executive management degree from IIM Bangalore. Dr. Chakravarthi is an inventor on six pending and two granted patents in the area of VLSI and healthcare. She is currently with Synopsys India as the staff instructor. She is the author of the book A Practical Approach to VLSI System on Chip (SoC) Design: A Comprehensive Guide (Springer, 2022) and Internet of Things and M2M Communication Technologies: Architecture and Practical Design Approach to IoT in Industry 4.0 (Springer, 2021), and co-author of the book SOC Physical Design: A Comprehensive Guide (Springer, 2022). All the books have gained good traction among a global readership. She has authored numerous papers in the field of VLSI and healthcare and has held Chair and Vice-Chair positions with the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC), Bangalore Section. She is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Dr. Shivananda R Koteshwar (Shivoo) has over 27 years of experience in the semiconductor industry and is currently with Synopsys India as the Vice President, EDA Group, Site Head, India. He has been a catalyst and driver in setting up many incubators and accelerators and is the founding Trustee of the Belakoo Trust, which focuses on rural education, skill development, and experiential learning, and a co-Trustee of Aurinko Trust, whose flagship product is The Aurinko Academy, a progressive K12 school in Bangalore with focused programs in all new-age careers. He received a doctorate in Education Management and is an alumnus of IIM, Bangalore, and has a Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation and Design Thinking, a collaborative program by MIT Sloan, Columbia Business School, and Tuck University. He has a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from OGI School of Science and Engineering and a BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Mysore University. He is the co-author of the book SOC Physical Design: A Comprehensive Guide (Springer, 2022), and has authored three other books: 50 Shades of Life, 50 Colours of Love, and English Kaliyiri. He is extremely active in mentoring start-ups catering to EdTech and the learning space.
