Dr. Digambar V. Puri

Teaching, for me, has never been just a profession; it has been a journey of learning, mentoring, and growing along with my students. My academic career began in 2015, and since then I have been actively involved in teaching, research, student mentoring, and academic development. Over the years, teaching has become a continuous journey of learning, innovation, and sharing knowledge with students while guiding them toward both academic and professional growth.

I completed my Ph.D. in Electronics and Telecommunication from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University (DBATU), where my research focused on the detection of Alzheimer’s disease using EEG signals, signal processing, and machine learning techniques. My academic journey through B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. developed my strong interest in signal processing, machine learning, data science, and biomedical applications, which now form the core of my teaching and research work.

During my academic career, I have taught a variety of subjects across Electronics, Communication, and Computer Science domains, including Signals and Systems, Analog and Digital Communication, Digital Logic, Computer Organization and Architecture, Computer Networks, Python Programming, and Machine Learning. My teaching approach focuses on building strong theoretical foundations while connecting concepts with practical implementation through programming, data analysis, visualization, and mini-projects so that students can understand not only what to learn, but also why and how to apply it.

My research interests include Machine Learning, EEG Signal Processing, Biomedical Signal Processing, Optimization Algorithms, and Data Science. I have published several research papers in reputed international journals such as Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, and PLOS ONE. Research, for me, is closely connected to teaching, as it helps me bring new ideas, new technologies, and real research problems into the classroom.

Apart from teaching and research, I have actively organized Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), Short-Term Training Programs (STTPs), and workshops in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Geo-AI, and Data Analytics. I strongly believe that a teacher should always remain a student first, and therefore I continuously participate in courses, FDPs, and workshops to stay updated with new technologies and teaching methodologies.

Being a part of Vidhyalankar Institute of Technology is a very enriching experience. The institute provides a dynamic environment that promotes academic excellence, innovation, research, and industry interaction. The collaborative and student-focused learning environment motivates me to continuously improve as a teacher, researcher, and mentor.

Beyond academics, I enjoy interacting with people, discussing new ideas, traveling, and exploring new places. These experiences keep me curious, motivated, and continuously learning.
