Nitin Mane is an experienced technology leader, researcher, and educator currently serving as the Chair of the IEEE CEDA Bombay Section – Nagpur Chapter. With over 3.5 years of professional experience in software engineering and embedded AI systems, Nitin brings a rare blend of industry acumen and academic excellence to the global IEEE community.

He is currently pursuing his Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Mechatronics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai, where his research interests span across intelligent automation, robotics, control theory, and edge-AI systems. Prior to joining IIT, he worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Infinity Tech Resources, Aurangabad, where he led multiple projects in AI-based automation, real-time monitoring systems, and deep learning deployment for industrial use cases.

Nitin has made impactful contributions across various IEEE roles, particularly as a volunteer and strategic planner in the domains of sustainable technology, educational outreach, and embedded AI. He has been instrumental in organizing technical workshops, student training programs, and hackathons on Intel OpenVINO, Robotics Vision, Machine Learning, and Embedded Design, collaborating with institutions like Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT), SSGMCE Shegaon, and IIT Bhilai.

In his capacity as IEEE CEDA Chair, he has initiated local collaborations, empowered student branches, and driven multidisciplinary engagement in electronic design automation and hardware-software co-design. He played a significant role in co-hosting sessions on AI for Sustainable Development, rural healthcare digitization, and automotive-grade robotics control systems, making the chapter a recognized contributor within IEEE Region 10.

Nitin is also a recipient of several honors and certifications. He is an Arm Developer Ambassador, Intel® Certified oneAPI Instructor, and Software Innovator, recognized for his expertise in heterogeneous computing and AI/ML model optimization. He is also affiliated with global initiatives such as INCO Academy’s Green Digital Skills, the IEEE SA Standards Development Working Group (7999 Series – AI Ethics Oversight), and IEEE’s Mobility Impact Framework.

His recent research work includes projects on real-time multi-object tracking under occlusion, fetal ultrasound-based Down Syndrome detection using deep learning, and anomaly detection in industrial systems using vision transformers and LLMs. His technical papers and system architectures have been appreciated in IEEE forums and hackathons, with ongoing collaborations with industrial partners and faculty researchers.

As a strong believer in technology for societal good, Nitin has mentored over 100 students and volunteers, organized outreach events across Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, and contributed to humanitarian initiatives under IEEE SIGHT, including environmental clean-ups, rural STEM kits distribution, and healthcare data system development.

With a vision to bridge academia, industry, and community, Nitin continues to inspire young professionals and researchers to build ethically driven, sustainable, and intelligent systems for the future.

Additional Information
As Chair of the IEEE CEDA Bombay Section – Nagpur Chapter, I am deeply committed to fostering innovation, inclusivity, and impact through interdisciplinary collaboration. My leadership philosophy revolves around three pillars: empowering student leadership, advancing frontier research in EDA and embedded AI, and bridging the gap between academia and industry through strategic knowledge-sharing platforms.

I have actively contributed to IEEE Region 10 HTA Impact Congresses, the IEEE Volunteering Leadership Program (VOLT 2023), and IEEE SIGHT humanitarian initiatives—bringing technical knowledge to grassroots solutions. Through my affiliation with global standards groups such as IEEE SA 7999 (AI Ethics Oversight) and sustainable mobility working groups, I continuously advocate for responsible, future-facing technologies.

Beyond IEEE, I engage with ecosystems like Google Developers, Intel Software Innovators, and Arm Education to organize impactful events and content for young technologists. I have mentored over 100 students through community projects, technical training, and research internships—several of whom have gone on to pursue higher studies or global careers in AI and robotics.

My future goals include:

Establishing an EDA-Focused Research and Innovation Cell under CEDA Nagpur Chapter.

Hosting international-level workshops on AI in Hardware Acceleration and Ethical Design Automation.

Collaborating with regional industry leaders to open avenues for students in chip design, FPGA prototyping, and ML deployment on edge devices.

With a strong academic foundation, cross-sector exposure, and global volunteer network, I aim to expand CEDA’s relevance among early-career researchers and engineers, while aligning with IEEE’s mission of advancing technology for humanity.
