Industrial Experience
|
|
Physical Design and Electrical Analysis Team, DSP
Design Group, Texas Instruments
|
|
worked
on and PGed four projects namely a 27x series DSP core processor
(Mantra-C1), a full chip design built around Mantra-C1 (Mantra-K1), a new
generation generic emulation chip (Drishti) and another chip (Yantra).
Characterized the entire standard cell library GS40DSP consisting of around
400 cells for Mantra-C2 core DSP. Experienced with almost all industry
popular EDA/CAD tools from Synopsys, Avant! and Cadance as well as some TI
internal reliability tools.

Research Interests
|
|
Physics of Nano-Scale Materials and Devices
|
|
I
am interested in studying optical, electrical and magnetic properties
of materials
such as organic/polymer/bio semiconductors and
artificial/mesoscopic material systems. Broadly speaking, I am
interested
in understanding and modeling variety of physical
processes
in electrically useful material systems and ways of
exploiting
them for useful applications.
|
|
Energy Efficient Solid State Devices
|
|
I am interested in solid
state devices that can provide environmental as
well as cost improvements on
both sides of energy life cycle – generation
and consumption. On energy generation side, I am
interested in exploring
if technologies such as photovoltaics, thermo-photovoltaics
and
thermoelectrics can be made cost-effective. On energy consumption
side,
I am interested in exploring
use of LED’s for solid-state lighting and
display applications.
