Who Am I

Hi People!

Thank you for dropping down here.

I am Shaik Mohammed Waseem, a passionate researcher in multidisciplinary domains and currently working as Senior Research Associate at MINRO, IIIT Bangalore, India. I look into problems in the society from various perspectives, that include day to day tasks being performed by humans. I indeed try to solve problems in my ability by providing few practical solutions. I have worked in the fields of autonomous control, computer vision, agricultural technology and signal processing with solutions framed for edge computing that target Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. Besides research, I also hold 6+ years of Industry experience in different roles of product development and management. I also had few research based stints and offers across Malaysia and United Kingdom. As part of my research work and product development, I have been using Xilinx Zynq Architecture based Field Programmable Gate Array Embedded boards like Xilinx ZCU104 and Avnet Ultra 96v2. I have developed FPGA based micro-architectures to cater the needs of compute/memory hungry machine learning/reinforcement learning algorithms that broadly address domains like computer vision and autonomous control. Leveraging FPGA based on-chip memory and parallelization were few of the key advantages in these developed micro-architectures. The interfacing capabilities for the developed architectures include ARM-AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture), AXI (Adavanced eXtensible Interface) based protocols. I have been using Verilog HDL (Hardware Descriptive Language), System Verilog, High Level Synthesis, Python, Tcl and C/C++ as means to develop and verify these architectures. Energy efficiency, timing and silicon area were key parameters of consideration by me to enable the work’s possibility towards edge based deployments.

If you have read the above summarized details of ‘WHO AM I & WHAT I DO’, thank you for your attention and spending your precious minutes.
