Adithya Sunil Edakkadan working under the supervision of Dr. Abhishek Srivastava has been selected for the Chanakya Undergraduate Fellowship in Quantum Technologies by the I-Hub Quantum Technology foundation at IISER Pune. The fellowship was awarded on the basis of a research proposal submitted by Adithya and earlier work he did in the area of quantum technologies. Adithya had submitted a project proposal on Design and Measurement of Microwave Signal Generator for Diamond Color Defect Based Quantum Sensing Applications and his previous publications on Design of 2.87 GHz Frequency Synthesizer with Programmable Sweep for Diamond Color Defect based CMOS Quantum Sensing Applications which was accepted in IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS-2022), Texas, USA and A 2.75-2.94 GHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator with Low Gain Variation for Quantum Sensing Applications, presented at 35th International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID-2022).
The undergraduate fellowship comes with a monthly stipend (Rs. 10,000) tenable for 6 months. The Chanakya fellowships are awarded by the I-Hub Quantum Technology Foundation (QTF) established under the auspices of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune and funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, New Delhi. The foundation aims to assist in harnessing the quantum phenomena to develop advanced computing systems and far more immediate applications in sensors, navigation, geomapping, clocks, communications and material design.
