I received the B.S. degree in Industrial Electronics Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain, in 2007, and the M.S. degree in Micro- and Nanoelectronics Engineering in 2009 and the Ph.D. degree in Microelectronics and Electronic Systems in 2015 both from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. From 2006 to 2008, I was with Investigation Total Ware, S.A., Spain, where I was engaged in analog and mixed-signal circuit design for highly reliable wireless telecommunication systems. From 2008 to 2015, I was with the Integrated Circuits and Systems design group at the Institut de Microelectrònica de Barcelona, CNM, CSIC, Spain, designing low-power high-precision mixed-signal ASICs for integrated smart sensors and IP blocks. From 2015 to 2016, I was with Broadcom Ltd., Barcelona, Spain, developing low-power CMOS IPs like low-temperature-drift oscillators, varible-temperature-coefficient current/voltage generators, temperature sensors, cross-domain level shifting and biasing circuits, touch-sensor transmitter drivers. I am co-author of 12 publications and participant in several research and industrial projects using a wide range of CMOS technology nodes. I am recipient of the 2007 Highest Grade Point Average in the Graduating Class Award, the 2014 Best Paper Award and the 2015 Student Best Paper Award Honorable Mention. My skills include: high-performance continuous-time/switched-capacitor circuits such as low-power high-resolution ADCs/DACs using Class-AB OpAmps; system high-level modeling (SciPy/Sage, Matlab); system electrical-level modeling (Verilog/-A/-AMS); EKV circuit-level modeling; full-custom IC design cycle (gEDA Tools/Cadence Virtuoso: from schematics to layout and verification); development of low-noise and low-distortion test equipment (including microcontrollers and FPGAs) and software (using C++, Tcl, VB, Python); and, experimental IC measures and parameter extraction.
A young and ambitious individual, eager to apply my knowledge of Computer Architecture and VLSI Physical Design to develop hardware that is performance, power and area efficient, while actively contributing to the development and growth of the open-source semi-conductor industry
I am a PhD student at Universiti Kebagsaan Malaysia. My research interests include application-specific hardware design, mainly to accelerate machine learning applications.
Undergraduate in ECE & Economics at BITS Pilani, India. An enthusiast in IC Design, VLSI and Physical Design.
I work with embedded systems, analog electronics and general physics research. I founded a small engineering services company in Brazil, currently working with a team of 3 engineers to create products and help companies on their way to to production.
RTL design engineer with experience developing mobile GPUs (Samsung), high-end networking ASICs (Juniper) and CPU cores (MIPS). Co-author of lab manuals and online courses on FPGA design, RTL2GDSII flow and computer architecture. Founder of Verilog Meetup, a Silicon Valley and online community that develops open-source SystemVerilog examples targeting three niches: beginners, students who want to prepare for microarchitectural job interviews and university professors who want to avoid FPGA vendor lock (our examples are interoperable between Xilinx, Altera, Gowin and Lattice and compatible with ASIC flows, such as TinyTapeout and eFabless (in progress)).
