I am Dr. Swaminathan Annadurai, B.Tech., M.E., and Ph.D. I was born on 5 October 1990 in Kasavalanadu Thekoor, a small hamlet in the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu, India.

My family has been a constant source of inspiration and support throughout my life. My mother, Mrs. Rajeswari Murugesan, is a homemaker, and my father, Mr. Annadurai Chinnaiyan, M.A., B.Ed., is a retired government school teacher. My sister, Dr. Karmuhil Annadurai, M.A., Ph.D., serves as an Administrative Officer at Viveka NEET Academy in Thanjavur. My brother-in-law, Dr. Elavarasan Ayyakannu, M.Sc., is the Director of the same academy. My wife, Mrs. Shoba Mathiyalagan, M.E., is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at the Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai.

I hold immense respect and love for my uncle, Dr. M. Punniyamoorthy Murugesan, B.Sc., M.Tech., Ph.D., a Senior Professor (HAG) at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, whom I regard as my living god. I am also deeply grateful to my extended family, including Mrs. Bagavathy Sannasy, Mrs. Manjula Murugesan (my maternal aunt/mother), Mrs. Lilly Grace (mother/aunt), and the late Mr. Gangadharan Murugesan (uncle), who raised and cared for me since my birth.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my school and college teachers, professors as well as my friends, for sharing their invaluable knowledge, guidance, and companionship, which have shaped me into the person I am today.
