| TechnoShield Award:
This award recognizes excellence
achieved in ISA’s domains of interest by
an institution or organization in India. A research
entity such as a laboratory or a department may
seek this award by applying through their respective
institutes.
This award is a rolling
shield that will be given to the winner
each year and they will keep it for that year.
This should instill a very healthy sense of competition,
achievement and pride of winning the award.
Winners 2007:
TechnoShield
Award: IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur
The award (a rolling shield) is given away to
the best academic institution in India for its
remarkable work in the semiconductor space.
The joint winners this time are IIT Madras and
IIT Kharagpur. Their Electrical, Electronics and
Communication Engineering departments have accomplished
admirable research competence in the Semiconductor
space. The books authored by their Professors
have significantly pushed the envelope in Semiconductor
research.

| TechnoInventor Award:
There are two categories of ISA
TechnoInventor Awards. One category is for Doctoral
thesis and another for thesis submitted at the
Master’s level. ISA may even support publishing
these thesis. ISA plans to keep the number of
awards flexible with a view to give away as many
awards as it deems deserving in that given year.
Winners 2007:
 |
Dr. R K
Sharma, National Institute of Technology,
Kurukshetra
ISA TechnoInventor
Award winner 2007 |
| Dr.
Sharma's Ph.D thesis - "Sonic Radiation
Transit Time Based Measurement System"
has helped in developing a technique to
detect/estimate adulteration in gasoline
and diesel. This technique profoundly impacts
the petroleum industry in maintaining their
quality standards. Another application of
this technique is in the area of automatic
irrigation control for the agriculture sector.

Mr. Syam
Sundar Reddy, IIT Madras
ISA TechnoInventor Award winner 2007 |
| Syam
Sunder's thesis - "NOVEL CLB Architectures
and Techniques to Mitigate SEU Faults in
SRAMbased FPGAs" proposes a novel
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) based
architecture for detecting and correcting
SEU caused logic and routing errors. The
proposed architecture illustrates the efficiency
of later over existing SEU tolerant FPGA
architectures and associated methodology,
in terms of area, power and performance.
