" Millennium Fellowship Project: The Hydro-Electric Power Plant The utilization of water flow of the lagoon beside the Lagos State University Epe Campus, to generate electricity through a water wheel is a traditional yet highly effective method. It involves harnessing the kinetic energy of a flowing water to rotate a wheel, which in turn powers an electrical generator through mechanical transmission units. A water wheel, also known as a hydro power wheel or water turbine, is a device designed to convert the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. It typically consists of a large wheel with blades attached around it’s circumference. When water flows over or under the wheel, it rotates thereby converting the kinetic energy of the water into rotational energy.

I believe that even small actions can create meaningful change, and through this fellowship, I hope to contribute to building a more inclusive and sustainable future. " Millennium Fellowship Project: SignSpeak: A Real-Time Tamil Fingerspelling Translation System This project presents a novel approach for recognizing and translating Tamil fingerspelling using image-to-text conversion and subsequent text-to-speech synthesis. Focusing on the Tamil Language Finger Spelling 23 (TLFS 23) dataset, which contains 247 characters depicting a wide array of Tamil fingerspelling gestures, we apply a multiclass classification process to develop an effective model for accurately identifying and transcribing images of fingerspelling into their corresponding textual forms. Following transcription, the text is converted into spoken Tamil through speech synthesis techniques to improve communication accessibility for Tamil-speaking individuals. The comprehensive evaluation of the TFLS 23 dataset supports the method’s viability and effectiveness, significantly mitigating language barriers and enhancing communication within the Tamil fingerspelling community. About the Millennium Fellow I’m Anudeep Rao Balguri, a student at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in Coimbatore. I enjoy learning new things, especially when it comes to problem-solving and working on small projects. I like to keep things simple and clear in whatever I do, whether it's in my studies or projects. I’m also interested in exploring how different systems work, and I enjoy challenging myself by trying out new ideas and testing how things perform in various situations.
