Core competencies include: ASIC System Design * Programming * Digital Signal Processing * Product Developme nt * Power Electronics EDUCATION Degrees: Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (2007), New Jersey Institute of Tech nology, NJ Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2004), Rutgers Unive rsity, NJ Core Competencies and Projects: * Lead a four-person team that utilized VHDL, Verilog, and Mentor Graphics tools to develop and simulate an 8x8 load-balanced combined input-crosspoint buffered packet switch that used small crosspoint buffers with virtual output queues. * Designed a hybrid coupler at ISM frequency band of 2.45 GHz with lumped elemen ts and Microstrip transmission lines on FR-4 substrate using Ansoft Designer sof tware, simulated for complex S in dB and phase. Through the design gained practi cal knowledge of waveguides, transmission line theory, scattering parameters, po wer dividers, directional couples, phase shifters, smith chart, LC matching, sin gle stub tuning, microstrip matching networks, passive and active components, mi crowave transistor amplifier design, VSWR circles, noise in 2-port networks. * Employed micromachining technology to design a miniaturized acceleration senso r, which was fabricated by exploring the design parameter space using appropriat e design equations. The design parameters were chosen from practical ranges allo wed by the semiconductor micromachining technology. * Designed a two-stage fully differential voltage-voltage amplifier using HSPICE , PSPICE and Avanwaves simulator with 0.35 micron TSMC MOS models according to d esired specifications. * Designed, implemented, and configured a multithreaded UNIX web server and clie nt in C/C++ programming language. * Fabricated a two-input logic gate using a one-micron process; performed all ne eded MATLAB calculations and SUPREM simulations in addition to various processin g steps, including etching, photolithography, and diffusion. * Provided custom layout design and simulation of a 32-bit floating point microp rocessor ALU using Cadence IC design tools such as icfb and silicon ensemble. St eps included: RTL synthesis, chip floorplanning, place and route, timing analysi s. * Designed various DC/DC converter topologies based on given specifications usin g steady state power converter modeling, semiconductor power switch realization, AC circuit modeling converter, small signal transfer functions, controller desi gn, magnetic theory and transformer design. Dealt with efficiency, switching los ses, amount of ripple generated etc. * Acquired practical knowledge of DSP IIR filter design, FIR filter design, DSP algorithm implementation and applications through a project work that consisted of a digital filter design using Butterworth polynomials and bilinear transforma tion techniques as well as MATLAB to meet the desired specifications.
