The IIIT Hyderabad (IIIT-H) has set up a state-of-the-art embedded systems laboratory, as part of the institute’s Center for VLSI Design and Embedded System Technologies (CVEST). The lab was set up in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors.

The lab, called NXP Semiconductors Lab, was inaugurated by Prof. Rajeev Sangal, Director, IIIT-H and Mr. Neeraj Paliwal, Vice President and Country Manager, NXP India.

“The lab, fully sponsored by NXP, will help IIIT-H students and faculty undertake research on cutting edge technologies, test new ideas on a real-time basis, and develop high-end embedded systems products”, said the faculty-member-in-charge of the new lab, Dr. P. Vijaya Sankara Rao, Assistant Professor, IIIT-H.

In January this year, NXP India launched an industry-academia initiative called ‘NXP Anubhav’ to set up advanced technology labs at top engineering institutes in India.

"We plan to set up 20 labs across India in 2011 and be actively involved in partnering with them to bring industry knowledge into academia”, said Mr. Neeraj Paliwal, and Country Manager, NXP India, according to a press release.

A letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.

Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.

In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.

We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
