Born in 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 “𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐬,” I carry within me a love for knowledge, a curiosity for the unknown, and a heart that finds poetry in the little things of life. I am a 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 at the 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐛 (𝐀²𝐃𝐒𝐋), 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐄), 𝐈𝐈𝐓 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢, working under the guidance of 𝐃𝐫. 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥. Before joining IIT Mandi, I completed my 𝐌.𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐋𝐒𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐓 𝐆𝐮𝐰𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐢, graduating as the 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫.

My research focuses on 𝐕𝐋𝐒𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧, 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐂-𝐕 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐏𝐆𝐀 & 𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. I am passionate about translating innovative ideas into practical hardware solutions, with research contributions associated with 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐬, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐄𝐄𝐄 𝐈𝐒𝐕𝐋𝐒𝐈, 𝐕𝐋𝐒𝐈𝐃, 𝐇𝐢𝐏𝐂, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐄𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧.

I enjoy experimenting with 𝐄𝐃𝐀 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 such as 𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐬, 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐃𝐀 (𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬), and 𝐗𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐱 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐨, along with 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 such as OpenLane, OpenROAD, and Yosys for digital design, FPGA prototyping, and ASIC implementation.

Beyond silicon, circuits, and code, I find inspiration in the timeless beauty of history, the melody of music, and the emotions hidden within words. I enjoy 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲, 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐬. Cricket and hockey bring out my competitive spirit, reminding me that life, much like research, demands patience, teamwork, and perseverance.

I believe 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐭. I find equal fascination in a thoughtfully designed circuit and a beautifully written couplet-in the logic of a processor and the magic of an unspoken emotion.

And somewhere within me lives the spirit of Lucknow: 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐥𝐝-𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐳𝐞𝐞𝐛. A place where a smile can begin a conversation, a “𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐛” can make an ordinary moment feel special, and even love knows how to arrive with grace.

“𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢 𝐤𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐞 𝐣𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢,
T𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐲𝐞, 𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐡𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢.” ❤️

Wherever life takes me-from the intricate world of microchips to the serene mountains of Himachal-I will always carry a little Lucknow in my heart.

𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐞, 𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐛… 𝐚𝐚𝐩 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧! ✨

And as I continue this journey of discovery, I hold close a thought that inspires me to dream beyond boundaries:

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
