Interview with Ganesh Kumar
It was a privilege to interview Mr. Ganesh Kumar M.R., Software Architect at Applied Materials, who has over 10 years of experience in development of Image Processing Algorithms for medical and semiconductor products. His experience as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in IISc, Bangalore and over 9 years of experience in GE Healthcare, a company involved in medical imaging, made us inquisitive so as to know how the Medical Imaging Industry works! Thank you, sir, for having agreed to do this interview! To begin with, you had done most of your education in Physics. What is it that made you so passionate about the field?

For example, when it rains, even the pattern of fall of the rain drops follows Poisson’s noise distribution. Similarly, rainbow formation too has physics involved behind it. This has intrigued me a lot and made me develop interest in it. So, what made you swit...
