Events

1. The Big Brain : Enclosed within the hollow hardened skull, in a cushion of fluid, lies in deep slumber, one of the powerful and complicated organs of the human body- the brain. Well, what percentage of us actually put it to good use is what is questionable? The brain requires not just memes, formulas, and humourous imaginative dreams, but also a sumptuous load of practical knowledge and curiosity to keep it alive.
   With this vision, the Electrical Engineering Society organized 'THE BIG BRAIN' event having curiosity and public confidence as its core concepts. The event was in two stages where the participating teams pitched their start-up or business idea with their research and analysis to the judges. The second round consisted of a group discussion between the teams. Two teams were finalized and a group discussion was conducted that was instrumental in the declaration of the final winner.
   The event was organized as a means to encourage students to accentuate their creativity and develop an entrepreneurship mindset. The pitching round played a role in developing presentation, speaking, and teamwork skills. Additionally, the group discussion imparts bilateral thinking in individuals and public speaking skills that imbibe confidence.
    
2. Colloquy 2.0 : With increasing advancements in Electric automobiles, the industry is full of opportunities. But with great opportunities comes a great many challenges.
   To elucidate this subject, Professor Krishna Vasudevan, Electrical Department at IIT Madras held an interactive session on 'Electric Vehicles: Challenges and Opportunities' on 3rd October 2022 in New Electrical Engineering Department, SVNIT seminar hall. Prof. Krishna has expertise in Sensorless operation of BLDC motor, Algorithm for fast extraction of harmonic information for active power filters, Parallel Operation of DC/DC Converters, Power Electronics for Wind and Photovoltaic Systems, Development of a sensor-head for remote sensing of conductive deposits. He has 9 patents and 85 publications under his name. The attendees were students pursuing M.Tech, Ph.D and B.Tech and faculty members of Electrical Engineering Department. He concluded the session with an interactive Q&A on the future scope of Vehicle charging technology in India and its infrastructure requirements, capacity increment of batteries and High voltage DC generation
    
3. TechX : Technology paves the path for the success of an individual. Without technological advancements, humans are nothing more than mere specks of dirt. It is incremental for humanity to inculcate advanced technology in their daily lives and start seeing it as a necessity rather than a luxury.
   With that in mind, TechX, a technical exhibition, was conducted on September 15, 2022, on the occasion of Engineer’s day for the students of B.Tech, M.Tech, PhD and the faculties from SVNIT in collaboration with the Co-Curricular Affairs Committee, CCAC. The exhibition was held at the Workshop Lab and we were graced by the presence of our Director Dr Anupam Shukla and Dean (SW) Dr Ravi Kant, who provided their valuable input. Projects were showcased by several popular student societies of SVNIT, including but not shy of DRISHTI, CEV, FSAE, IIW and PHOENIX AERO.
   The topics covered a plethora of tech-related domains, like Rover, AI-ML, Aerodynamics and stock prediction models. It was a successful event which proved to be beneficial for the students, given that they were able to practice and expand their knowledge of their respective domains.
      
4. RECHARGE 2022 : Recharge is the event that involves adding newly interested and eligible members from sophomores. This year the event was conducted from the 7th of September to the 9th of September. Interviews were conducted in offline mode in the Electrical Department building. The questions were based on the candidate’s choice of preference as well as those which consisted of general problem-solving.
    
5. Colloquy 1.0 : Colloquy, a talk session on the advancement of motors in electric vehicles, was conducted by EES for the students of the third year pursuing B. Tech, M. Tech, Ph.D., and faculties from the Electrical department on 6th September 2022 in EED Seminar Hall. The eminent speaker, Dr. Ragavan K is the Assistant Professor at IIT Gandhinagar. The talk session was immediately followed by an interactive Q&A session which included topics like; the future scope of Vehicle charging technology in India and its infrastructure requirement, and alternative power storage options for electric vehicles.

                             2045 INTIATIVE - GATEWAY TO IMMORTALITY

                                           Author: Ritik Desai, Electrical Engineering Society, SVNIT, Surat

                             Introduction

1. Have you ever wondered about living forever? Does it come to your mind to live for a long time and complete your bucket list or learn the most of the world around you?
2. People seem to love the idea ofimmortality, and their long-term preparation has also been part of the traditional story - depicted in the ancient Mahabharata myth, the fascinating series Harry Potter and The Man from Earth, among many others. The desire for our species to die has led scientists and companies to study long life and mysterious death.
3. A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences states that, by means of mathematical calculations, it is impossible to stop aging in a multicellular organism. The body, including humans, brings up the issue of immortality.
4. The 2045 Initiative is a non-profit organization that develops a network and community of researchers in the field of life-enhancing, focusing on combining brain balance with robots to create cyborgs. It was founded by Russian businessperson Dmitry Itskov in February 2011 with the participation of Russian experts in the field of neural interface, robots, artificial limbs, and systems. Philippe van Nedervelde serves as Director of International Development.
5. The overarching goal of the 2045 Initiative, as stated on its website, is "to create technologies that allow for the transfer of human personality to the less fortunate, and to extend life, including to the point of immortality.

                             Procedure and Future Prospects

1. One of the life-enhancing activities is artificial body design (called "avatar") and an advanced computer face system. On the biological side, a life-support system for the human brain will be developed within the avatar and keep it alive and functioning. The latest phase of the project will research artificial brain design in which first-person knowledge can be transmitted.
2. Avatar A
   A copy of a remote human body robot that can translate instructions directly into the mind, and then send the data back to the brain in a way that can be translated through a brain-computer interface. It is projected to increase by 2020 or earlier. This, however, failed to appear.
3. Avatar B
   An avatar in which the human brain is implanted at the end of human life. Avatar B has an independent program that provides brain health support and allows it to interact with nature, which may be included in the existing Avatar A Chassis. The deadline for this phase is 2025.
4. Avatar C
   An avatar with an artificial brain where the human personality is transferred to simulate the end of human life. The first successful attempt to upload your personality to a computer is estimated to have taken place by 2035.
5. Avatar D
   A hologram-like avatar- or drawing. The ultimate goal of this project but it is selective because, considering that uploading is not voluntary or everyone chooses to upload, biological diseases are prevented in the previous phase, and are far from the current technological breakthroughs and our understanding of physics.

                             Drawbacks and Present Scenario

1. Most scientists believe that it is impossible, at least in this century, for the human brain to be loaded with computers. When asked technology scientist Dr. Grace Lindsay what the main obstacle to this "future" project was, she explained that there is so much we can know about the brain because it is a ball with turbulent, glial cells, blood vessels, body cells, and much more. But anything can happen because science and technology have achieved remarkable things such as paralyzed bionic body parts that can control their brain.
   Around 60% of technology is available and rest will be developed in next 3 decades or so.
   Plethora of money has been invested and spiritual leader like Dalai Lama has endorsed the ambitious project!!
