Dr. D. Tamilselvi

Dr. Tamilselvi owes an immense debt of gratitude to Thiagarajar College of Engineering, the institution that has been her home for over two decades. Without their unwavering support, this work would not exist.

She is deeply grateful to the college management and Chairman Mrs. Uma Kannan for believing in the vision of assistive technology and providing the freedom and resources to pursue it. Their trust has made it possible to build a VR lab, establish research groups, and take this work beyond the campus.

To Dr. Daisy, Head of the IT Department, for her constant encouragement and for creating a department culture where innovation in service of others is celebrated.

To every colleague, fellow faculty member, and staff at TCE who has supported these initiatives — whether through collaboration, time, encouragement, or simply showing up when it mattered.

And to the students of TCE — past and present — who have poured their energy, creativity, and compassion into building technology that serves children with special needs. You are the heart of this journey.
