Resumo 

Innovation leads to transformative changes in the technological advancements. Diverse solutions emerge a group of individuals having little expertise or experience in the field. Some of these solutions open an entirely new pathway sets a new paradigm. For researchers, innovation is the backbone of their endeavor in any field; science, medicine, and engineering have provided valuable solutions through innovative breakthroughs. Our knowledge elevates our understanding while an innovative burst takes us to a whole new level. For students and researchers, it simply starts with an eagerness to excel! The talk will present several examples in the speaker's career to illustrate that the ideas unrelated fields or our daily experiences can bring about dramatic realization on how things can be accomplished in a totally different way. The talk will highlight how to listen to yourself and others in upgrading your work through innovation.
