Biography

Dr. Kota Solomon Raju has been working as Principal Scientist in Digital Systems Group, CSIR - Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CSIR - CEERI), Pilani, Rajasthan, India. He received the B.E. from Andhra University in 1997, M.E. from BITS Pilani in 2003 and Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee in 2008. His research work mainly focused on advanced embedded systems, reconfigurable application specific instruction-set processor (RASIP), reconfigurable computing systems (RCS)for various applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Radio (SDR), WSN, Automation, Robotics, Signal, Image, video and audio processing etc. Currently leading three R&D major projects as a principal Investigator and Six R&D projects have been completed successfully as principal Investigator. Apart from above R&D, he has been teaching / delivering lectures for the post graduate students as part of ACADEMY OF SCIENTIFIC AND INNOVATIVE RESEARCH (AcSIR), Chennai, which is like an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and other Institutions of National Importance. AcSIR established by an Act of Parliament, Government of India. He was a visiting professor (August 2015 to Dec2016), EEE department, BITS, Pilani. Author or co-author of more than 100 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. Delivered 49 invited talks in international / national conferences / seminars / workshops, and guided three Ph.D. students, more than 65 M.Tech. dissertations. He served as publication Chair and Co-convener for the ICAES-2013 (International Conference on Advanced Electronic Systems). He is also a Fellow of THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS (INDIA), and life member of the IETE, New Delhi. He visited Germany and Japan. He has played the key role in materializing the MOU between CSIR-CEERI, Pilani and Hiroshima University, Japan.
