An overview of Research Guidance in PhD

Silicon Mentor is one of the best research entities in India. To make an environment of research we are providing our services in research and development of some of the world most recent burning topics in engineering and technology. Silicon Mentor has expertise in various research domain including Computer Vision, Machine Learning, VLSI, Biomedical Signal Processing and Digital Signal Processing. In the process of research and development we have a unit which provides research guidance to the PhD students. Our research process for PhD projects starts from the specific domain topic selection.

1)    The topic selection is based on either on the student requirement or we suggest them appropriate topic.
2)    After the selection of appropriate topic and research domain we assign our expert team for the support PhD student. This team works with the students on some of the previous work published in SCI indexed journals.
3)    During the review period of the previous work our team starts to generate new idea to modify the previous work.
4)    After the completion of previous work verification we turn our direction of research towards the modification in the previous design or to generate a new idea.
5)    For the implementation of new idea or modification we continuously contact the students and make him understand the new work.
6)    For the required tool training Silicon Mentor runs special class to train the students.
7)    After the modification of the design we do compare the result of the modified design and previous work.
8)    After the verification of complete verification of the result we forward this to next step.
9)    We do also compare analytical and simulative results for the preparation of the proposed method.
10)    After the completion of the all above steps we provide our expert team in the domain of research paper publication.
11)    Our expert team of Research paper publication provides updates about the new conference and journal publication.
12)    We usually suggest our clients to publish their work in IEEE, Springer like publications.
13)    We also help them to publish their work in any of the SCI index journals.

Thus we try to provide best research guidance for PhD thesis and PhD projects. We are in the process of continuous improvement to make our services more convenient in the area of Research and Development. For more information you can contact us.

Is It The Right Path To Pursue PhD Research?

PhD research is the highest level of academic research conducted in universities and institutes throughout the World. The methods used to conduct Ph.D. research are sound and the data that results from the research must be unique. There are many techniques has been created such as scientific methodologies have been created to ensure the soundness and uniqueness of doctoral research and to secure continuity in research results. The most often employed methodologies are quantitative methods, qualitative methods, comparative methods and clinical trials.

The world is producing a large number of PhD holders and their number is increasing every year. Therefore in this era how can a normal PhD holder can survive? World’s most population countries India and China producing more than 40,000 PhD every year. Most of the PhD has completed their research in a short duration which results in the quality of the graduates is not consistent. And Most of the PhD remains unemployed.

In our research whenever we think of doing the research we always think of  doing something innovative  which can change the world but when we come for real implementation of the idea we found only few things have done in our PhD research. The few things which done usually during PhD seems to be unique. What should we do? And, how to do? It depends on one’s circumstances but the research should contribute something new in the specific domain. 

Silicon Mentor is a place where many new researchers are working together to make something innovative and unique. These young researchers help the research students to pursue their research with some of the unique methodologies. Silicon Mentor have Expertise in different Domain such as Computer vision , Biomedical Research, Digital Signal Processing, Machine Learning , Low Power VLSI , Mixed Signal VLSI , FPGA implementation.

Writing Ph.D Thesis/Dissertation - The first phase

Idea of writing PhD thesis brings a lot of confusions, misconceptions and unanswered questions in the mind of PhD aspirants. Some of the difficulties they come across are related to the selection of the topic, starting the study, or time allocation for different phases of the thesis. One can handle these easily if one is determined and familiar with the current and recent topics and trends being followed in his field of interest. In this article the first step of thesis writing has been discussed with do’s and don’ts which one should follow in this phase.

Topic selection

 Topics should be selected after gaining a brief idea of recent work being carried out in the concerned domain and where it overlaps to your academic interests. There are many sources and ways which help in this.

-  Attending conferencing and referring to topic specific journals proves to be helpful in choosing a current and recent topic of interest.

-  Talking to colleagues and fellow students about their research and attending their presentations.

-  Interacting with your guide is a good idea as he has got more experience; it helps in at least Rough Idea of the Process.                       

Even in the study phase keep in mind that that you have to do research in an area not on an area. So, only reading papers and doing nothing effectively is researching on area and it leads to depression as every area seems to have been thought of already.

The other thing one should do is to take non-realistic topic as research takes time. Even if you have a lot of time to spare, never choose a topic without doing a deep study of feasibility and the problem your research will solve in the area.

At last the final suggestion is that, never look for the right topic or the hot topic as there is no right topic and your appropriate topic should be blend of your interest and current problems in the area and what’s hot today may be ice cold tomorrow and your research is going to take time.
