M.Tech Thesis Directions: Choosing a Research Topic

M.Tech Thesis/dissertation seems to be a formidable task to the students as it requires selection of unique topic, implementation of the base paper, doing research in the base paper, writing a scholarly report, paper publication etc.

With limited resources made available by the academics, most of the students hire an external guide or tutor for the research guidance to help them accomplish their dissertation work.

 

The selection of research topic for the M.Tech thesis is the most crucial step for beginning the thesis work.  

Here are a few guidelines for the selection for Research topic for M.Tech/PhD Thesis:

•        It’s almost impossible to come up with a completely new idea. Every discovery or research depends on existing methodologies or technology. The existing technology or theory can be rolled in a new way to make it applicable for the new problem. So, never pick up any hypothetical topic for the research.
•        Aim for a specific result that nobody has achieved ever before as Watson and Crick aimed to discover DNA.
•      Apply a new methodology in the existing technology to contribute to the technology. The methodology should be new to the problem statement addressed in the research.
•        Choose a specific subject for the research i.e. VLSI from ECE, Digital image processing form CSE etc.
•        Read some standard papers from reputed journals such as IEEE or Sciencedirect to find about the work going on in the subject selected by you.
•        Be aware of the resources and tools you have for your research.
•        Never sit and wait for one specific idea, instead gather several ideas no matter if this seems to be crazy at first.  Once you are opted with a number of ideas you can choose a specific out of those.
•        Gather good data before going for implementation and facilitate yourself with the resources in the initial phase that you are going to use in the implementation.
•      Consider multiple ideas for the topic selection for your M.tech thesis, eliminate the outdated after studying the research papers and go for the unique one before initiating the implementation.

Support for PhD thesis/Dissertation

The Engineering researcher, students and professional all passes through an important part of the education system. Those who want to add value in their work they should do their projects in an efficient and convenient way. They should understand one thing which is most important while choosing a VLSI Project and PhD thesis which is “the work should be contributed towards to the enhancement and development of the society.” 

Silicon Mentor is a VLSI and AI based Research and Development Company which helps VLSI and AI student, Researcher to complete their research work under the guidance of experienced professionals. There are various sub-domains of VLSI projects and PhD thesis where Silicon Mentor has worked. Some of the areas are mentioned below.

Low Power VLSI projects one of the most useful areas. We have worked on different Low power design techniques from device level to circuit topologies. Other sub-domains of VLSI projects mainly focus on mixed signal based device circuit designing. The exponentially increasing technology also needs new hardware which will be convenient platform to implement some of the critical AI based algorithm. 

Therefore to overcome these tradeoffs silicon mentor working on many PhD thesis and VLSI project to get or innovate a new idea. So come and make a contribution for the development of society and add value to your research.

PhD Thesis in VLSI

Doctor of philosophy is the final degree in any area. It requires a lot of efforts and hard work to achieve this. It starts with selection of a topic which should be recent and lies in your area of interest. If we talk specifically about research in technology then the next step is not straightforward and as simple as studying, collecting data, analyzing and writing the hypothesis. Research in technology requires implementation of work in the form of prototype or actual real time implementation of the idea.

If we narrow down our discussion to research in areas like electronics, electrical, computer science, artificial intelligence , wireless communication and related fields, which are the base of everything in this high-tech world. In these fields researchers have developed applications (aided with technology) for every field ranging from biomedical to aerospace and construction, which were nowhere related to electronics or even current.

As the research fields we are talking about are providing base to the developing world and providing it with reliable technologies which are being used in real time, the work of researcher becomes more wide starting with an idea to the realization of the idea in the real world in form of application or product.

To make a reliable and working model the idea of the VLSI design project ( i.e speech processing application, biomedical monitoring system etc) needs to be implemented and re-implemented, re-tested and improvised. The there are many development cycles and techniques available which eases up the implementation like:

·         Behavioral simulation

·         Software based model

·         Hardware Implementation (ASIC)

·         Programmable hardware (FPGA)

·         Co-simulation

Behavioral simulation is used at initial phase and it is not appropriate for testing the real time behavior of the system in actual environment as it is more close to systems behavior in ideal environment. 

We can simulate the actual environment by using different software models (more like software models of channels used to test communication systems) but its capabilities are also limited to human capability to model the environmental conditions in mathematical equations and models. 

All of us are familiar with ASIC, their high performance and hardwired implementation. These are good for final implementation but not for intermediate stages of implementation and testing. Nothing is better than ASIC for real time testing of analog VLSI circuits. But for digital circuits and DSP applications we have a better option of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). 

The hardware co-simulation is a good idea to test and monitor systems in real time. To get more details about PhD thesis in VLSI you can do online research or contact us.
