Research Idea:

• Area of interest is to explore self adaption capability in CMOS based bio-inspired analog circuits which can be used to emulate biological system, for example AWTA, an adaptive winner takes all CMOS circuit can emulate features of visual brain. Bio-inspired analog circuits have high credential in the field of neuromorphic research and such electronic circuits can explain the various non-descriptive brain functioning and can improve artificial intelligence.
• RF Microelectronics: Designing RFIC circuits for 5G network at 45nm technology. Working associatively with research team at Cadence, Noida.
