Experience
Research Scientist
Leading the digital research team for architectural design of a soft-output iterative decoder to improve the decoding performance for long codes constructed with short, high-rate codes.
Postdoctoral Associate
Co-Led the development of an integrated unified decoder-demapper chip, designed in 40nm CMOS, to significantly enhance decoding performance by leveraging noise correlations—achieving lower power consumption, reduced area, and improved energy efficiency compared to state-of-the-art decoders.
Supervised and mentored a multidisciplinary team of Ph.D., M.S., and undergraduate students.
Graduate Research Assistant
Led the development of the first integrated universal soft-detection decoder chip using ORBGRAND, achieving orders-of-magnitude reductions in energy and power consumption compared to state-of-the-art decoders — all within a compact 0.4 mm2 footprint, fabricated in 40nm CMOS.
Contributed to the development of the first integrated universal hard-detection decoder using GRAND. Demonstrated, for the first time, hard-detection decoding of CA-Polar codes, Random Linear Codes, and error correction for CRC codes.
Research Intern
Designed and implemented a Python-based algorithm for detection and elimination of redundant and unused logic in Verilog RTL, streamlining digital module optimization before synthesis. The solution effectively reduced non-recurring engineering (NRE) efforts and improved power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics. Validated the algorithm on production-level IP from Qualcomm.
Visiting Scholar
Contributed to the development of a highly miniaturized ingestible electronic capsule for ultra-low-power sensing of bioluminescence to detect in-vivo diseases. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS, the capsule offers 2x higher resolution than state-of-the-art solutions.
Research Assistant
Developed single-cell, multi-band rectifiers operating at millimeter-wave frequencies to harvest RF energy from the ambient environment for next-generation wireless sensors nodes and wireless power transfer applications.
