Conference | Academic Year - 2016-17 | 08 Aug, 2020
I am N. Ananya from 8th semester Electronics and Communication Engineering Department. I got an wonderful and an rare opportunity to attend an International Conference called PHOTOPTICS 2017 which was held at Porto, Portugal held between 27thFebruary 2017 to 1st March 2017. I presented a paper on “Improved Light Extraction Efficiency of Organic Light Emitting Diode using Photonic Crystals” in the conference. It was a great experience to travel alone all the way to Portugal. I traveled in Swiss air, through Zurich (capital of Switzerland). Porto in Portugal was a wonderful place to visit, and has been awarded in 2017 as the best tourist destination in Europe.
I was the only undergraduate student from India in that conference. It was a great experience to meet a lot of masters and Ph.D students and also professors from all over the world. I was able to interact with them and get a lot of information about higher education in different countries. Being an undergraduate student it was a great task for me to convince the Ph.D people. But I am very happy that I could do my best to convince them. All the professors there were very happy with my presentation and also they were happy that as an undergraduate student I got this great opportunity.
I got this opportunity, as I am an active IEEE member and participated in IEEE activities. I wish to mention that our college, Sai Vidya Institute of Technology, sponsored the trip to a large extent. In fact as per my knowledge no other private college sponsors, such foreign trips. I am very grateful to the institution. I would like to thank our beloved Director Prof. M.R. Holla , Principal Dr H.S. Ramesh Babu and Dean (R&D) Dr. Narayan. K because of whom this was possible. In fact my guide Dr. Narayan also sponsored a part of the expenditure in his personal capacity. I would like to thank for having confidence in me and giving me this opportunity. I would also like to thank the Prof. Chaya, Prof. Venkatesh from Department of ECE, for all their help. I would like thank my Parents for their support. The overall experience was amazing and I learnt a lot from it.
