Confidential, Fort Collins, CO

Responsibilities:

  • Worked as Research Assistant in VLSI LAB at Confidential . My research projects focused on the critical issues in deep submicron CMOS technology mainly in the Clock Distribution scheme, skew analysis. Enriched the mathematical model of Montecito clock tree with several other parameters to accurately estimate the skew. Other projects I involved include studying leakage power and its reduction techniques and Soft Error Rates
  • Worked as Research Assistant in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Lab at Confidential . The work in this lab is to build a Radio Frequency Coil for MRI applications. These RF coils are used to scanning and imaging different samples.
