About
I am a faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Ropar. I lead the Integrated System Design Lab (ISDL), focusing on analog integrated circuit design for computing (neuromorphic and quantum) and sensing applications. I am a senior IEEE member and part of the AMS/RF committee of the DevSET program. Prior to joining academia, I worked at the GE Technology Centre (2010-12) and the R&D division of Siemens (2017-18). I am an avid reader.
Professional Highlights
Founded Integrated System Design Lab (ISDL) at IIT Ropar: Established a state-of-the-art research facility in 2018, enabling 5 research projects in CMOS analog/mixed-signal IC design, neuromorphic computing, and sensor interfacing circuits.
Led IIT Ropar’s First Tapeout: Successfully completed the institute’s first silicon tapeout, validating novel circuit designs.
Mentored 6 PhD Scholars: Supervised 5 PhD scholars to graduation and 1 to thesis submission, contributing to 12+ publications in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design.
Secured USD 0.4M in Grants: Obtained funding across 5 major projects from 2018–2025 for research in CMOS amplifiers, dynamic comparators, and cryo-CMOS circuits through projects like DST - National Quantum Mission, DoT - Telecom Technology Development, ANRF - Core Research Grant and MeitY - Chips to Start-up (C2S).
Published in Top Journals: Authored papers in IEEE TCAS-I, TCAS-II, Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility (TEMC) and Transactions on Electron Devices (TED), advancing analog, mixed-signal and neuromorphic IC design.
