Academic Profile

I was born and raised in the wonderful and historic city of Salem, India.

In 2004 and 2015, I received my M.E. and first Ph.D. in Electronics and Communication Engineering and Information and Communication from Anna University, Chennai, India, respectively. I am currently in the defense phase of my second Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (previously Ryerson), Toronto, Canada. I was a Professor at Visvesvaraya Technological University in India until July 2019. I have more than 20 years of academic and research expertise. I’ve taught several Engineering Science classes ranging in size from 200 to 250 students. My current research interests include resource management in vehicular networks, deep learning, and edge networks. I got the opportunity to collaborate with some exceptional graduate students, as well as publish in peer-reviewed journals, and attend conferences with some of my colleagues. So far, I’ve produced or co-written over 30 journal and conference articles, including IEEE Transactions, and I’m the first researcher on a patent. Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology, Inder Science, and Taylor & Francis publications. I’ve been a TPC member for the IEEE Globecom, ICC 2021, 2022, and PIMRC 2023 conferences since 2020. In 2021, I was awarded the IEEE International Conference on Communications Student Grant (WICE) and also selected for the Toronto Soapbox Science 2022. Furthermore, was named “Outstanding Woman in Engineering” by the “Venus International Foundation” Centre for Women’s Empowerment in 2017. I believe my talents are particularly well-suited to this role since I would be able to make a professional contribution to the institution and assist it in furthering its purpose.
