Dr. Girish Gidaye

Professor

I resonate deeply with the quote by Thomas Jefferson, “Power is gained by sharing knowledge.” Over the past 26 years, I have dedicated myself to academics, teaching a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Teaching has always been a source of immense joy for me, as it offers the opportunity to enlighten young minds and contribute to their intellectual growth. 

Inspired by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s philosophy, “A good teacher, with meticulous planning, prepares himself for teaching,” I have always strived to be a committed educator and a lifelong learner. While I aspired to be a teacher early on, I strongly believed that practical industry experience is essential to become an effective educator. This belief led me to initially work in the industry before pursuing and completing my master’s degree to fulfill my goal of entering academia. 

Throughout these 26 years, alongside my teaching responsibilities, I have shouldered various academic and administrative roles such as Head of Department, NBA and NAAC Coordinator, Deputy Controller of Examinations, and Member of the Board of Studies. 

Driven by a passion for research, I pursued a Doctoral program with a focus on signal processing. My research interests include speech processing, image processing, VLSI design, and machine learning. I have undertaken several projects in these domains, applying both theoretical knowledge and practical insight. 

I have organized and led more than ten Short-Term Training Programs (STTPs), workshops, conferences, and symposiums at both national and international levels. I have also served as a resource person for various reputed conferences and journals. 

My research contributions are published in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences, primarily in the areas of VLSI and speech processing. All my publications are indexed in Scopus, with several also indexed in ESCI and SCIE.
