I am a first-year MTech student in Microelectronics and VLSI Design at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and part of the NeuRonICs lab at DESE. My interests are in digital hardware design for efficient computing. Currently working on the design of low-power hardware for real-time image classification inference on the edge.
1) LifeOnChip
- 16x16 array of convay's game of life in silicon (Skywater130)
- Dual channel sqaure, sawtooth or sinusoidal function generator (using CORDIC)
- On BASYS3 FPGA
3) Microspice
- A tiny spice parser and engine written in python
- An AXI-Lite IP that performs the CORDIC algorithm
- Extensive convergence and error characterization using randomized inputs
5) RiSC-16 CPU
- 16-bit CPU with a 4-stage pipeline
- Random instruction generator and assembler (python)
- Random testing for 100,000 instructions (compared with a gold standard)
- SPI, I2C and UART master and slave
- Verilog
- System verilog
- Formal verification with symbiyosys
Alongside hardware design, I enjoy programming and creating random (sometimes useless) hobby projects, from Arduino to robotics and ML and this is where a lot of them reside.
- GNSS and IMU sensor fusion using Kalman filter (in carla)
- Lane Detection using Computer Vision
- Universal infrared remote
- Stroboscopic waterfall
- Step piano
- POV display
- Morse encoder
