Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. graduate of MIT working in the field of semiconductors. My overall research interests are in low power, energy efficient circuit and system design. As systems move from being performance limited to energy limited, it is necessary to maximize the energy efficiency of all system components. The goal of my research is to develop techniques that allow for an order-of-magnitude increase in battery lifetimes of mobile devices. In 2009, I received my Ph.D. degree from MIT, where I also received my S.M. degree in 2005. While at MIT, I worked for Professor Anantha Chandrakasan in the area of low power RF and mixed-signal circuit design. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto in Engineering Science (Electrical option). At Toronto, I conducted research with Professor Chan Carusone.Latest News Discovery News and IEEE Spectrum have written articles highlighting my research on low-power radios for cyborg moths. (Discovery article) (IEEE article) In February, 2009, I presented a paper at the 2009 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), entitled "A Pulsed UWB Receiver SoC for Insect Motion Control." At the same conference, I was also the co-author of a paper presented by Patrick Mercier, entitled "A 0.55V 16Mb/s 1.6mW Non-Coherent IR-UWB Digital Baseband with +-1ns Synchronization Accuracy." I presented a paper at the 2008 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) on a highly-digital, voltage scalable flash ADC that operates at supply voltages down to 0.2V. I am a co-author of a plenary paper that was presented by Professor Chandrakasan at the 2008 VLSI Symposium, entitled "Next Generation Micro-power Systems." (Technical program) |
