I am an Associate Professor in the VLSI group of the department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. I graduated with Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2015. At UIUC, I worked with Integrated Circuits and Systems Group under the guidance of Prof. Pavan Kumar Hanumolu. During Ph.D. I focussed on architectural and circuit level techniques for energy efficient high speed serial links. Between 2009 and 2011, I worked as a research assistant under guidance of Prof. Kartikeya Mayaram and Prof. Terri Fiez in the department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Oregon State University. Here I designed high speed discrete-time delta sigma modulators for baseband applications. I graduated with B.Tech. and M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering, under dual degree program in IIT Madras, in 2009.
