JAMMU, Aug 29: The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Model Institute of Engineering and Technology (MIET), Jammu organized the IEEE Electron Device Society Distinguished Lecture, here today.
Prof Manoj Saxena, Senior Member IEEE and Vice-Chairperson EDS Society was the Distinguished Speaker on the occasion.
Dr Saxena covered recent trends in electron devices fabrication and simulation, specifically in the areas of analytical modeling, design, and simulation of optically controlled MESFET/ MOSFET, silicon-on-nothing, insulated-shallow-extension, grooved/concave-gate MOSFETs, cylindrical gate MOSFET and Tunnel FET.
He encouraged the students to undertake projects in core electronics using VLSI design and emerging areas such as Internet-of-things, Big Data and Smart Cities. He also guided students to publish research papers in IEEE conferences and journals.
The Distinguished Lecture was organized under the auspices of the student chapter of Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) at MIET.  The IEEE Student Branch at MIET is the only such chapter in the private sector in J&K.
Major General (Retd.) Prof SK Sharma, Director Academics MIET welcomed Prof Saxena and set the context for the session by describing the industry scenario and the need for students to remain aware of the emerging technological trends.
The event concluded with a formal vote of thanks by Taru Mahajan, HoD ECE, MIET.
Prof. Ankur Gupta, Director MIET along with the leadership team held detailed discussions with Dr. Saxena on potential collaborative activities including setting up of the Electron Device Society chapter under the IEEE Student Branch, holding marquee events in the region and undertaking innovative project work under guidance of experts from the IEEE EDS Society.
