About the Award-Winning Paper

Comment from Awardee Cheshta Jain

My participation in ECCE Asia was driven by the opportunity to share our recent research in the field of electrical machines and drives with a global audience. The paper I presented focuses on parameter estimation of a motor being used in electrical vehicles extensively. Presenting at ECCE Asia allowed me to contribute to ongoing discussions in the field, gain valuable feedback, and connect with fellow researchers and professionals.

I am truly honoured and overwhelmed to receive this award. It serves as a significant source of motivation in my journey as a researcher. Being recognised in the Women in Engineering category adds a deeper sense of responsibility and inspires me to strive for continuous improvement. Such recognition not only reinforces my commitment to the field but also encourages me to approach challenges with fresh perspectives and to develop solutions that contribute meaningfully to society.

I would like to respectfully add that this recognition is not merely a personal achievement, but a reflection of the collective efforts of Hioki and our dedicated team in India. I am sincerely grateful for the unwavering support and encouragement extended by my senior colleagues, whose guidance has been instrumental throughout this journey.
