Current research interests include:

• The design and fabrication of Electric field Sensors based on Field Effect Transistor technology. Considering various methods of sensing the electric field including optical, mechanical and use of novel materials to incorporate into the FET technology to obtain a low power, low noise sensor with high sensitivity.
• Setting up instruments by writing custom LabView programs
• Design of Atomic Layer Deposition System for Chemical vapor Deposition using Atomic Force Microscope (DARPA Tip based Nano manufacturing(TBN) Project)
• Chemical Vapor Deposition of single atomic layer Graphene for next generation Nano Mechanical Switches

Education

• Master of Electrical Engineering, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT- (2007-May 2009)
• Bachelor of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Osmania University (Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology), Hyderabad, India (2003-2007)
• Extensive experience in Analog and Digital VLSI Design, Embedded systems, Digital Signal Processing and Communication and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems

Selected Projects

• Designed and tested a Analog Biquad Third Order Elliptic Filter Based on Biquad Architecture Using Switched Capacitors
• Designed a low power SRAM circuit using sleep transistor technology in order to minimise leakage power
• Completed the fabrication and testing of a micro pressure sensor. This pressure sensor can be used in a variety of applications including measurement of toxic gases in its vicinity, regulating traffic, activation of airbags and with modification can be used to measure temperature as well
• Designed a vending machine controller chip on a 0.5 micron process using Cadence and Synopsys design tools. The design was implemented using a finite state machine giving an output to the dispensing mechanism as well as a VGA display based on a keypad input.
• Developed a Matlab based simulation system for transmitting and receiving signals as per GSM mobile phone protocol standards
