Key Skills and Information

I am fully competent with all major CAD tools used for designing, testing and simulation. 

To complement this, I am also able to utilise the following computer languages:

I also have experience in the following:

Professional Experience

Employed as a Database Analyst my role varied on a daily basis to meet business demands.  One of my primary roles within this position was to provide assistance with the reconfiguration of their IT database.  This also required me to use my web design skills to design a website for the United Nations Development Programme.  For more information please visit www.undp.com.

Employed as part of a large group of Engineers from GE Power Systems and the Government of India, one of my main responsibilities within this role was to provide assistance in the establishment of a new electrical plant in New Delhi, India.

While employed here the majority of my working day was spent within the Electronic and Control Systems plant managing the turbine and other areas around the main plant.  This involved working within a team to meet objectives and minimise problems.  I was required to work well in pressured situations.

This position was an Internship which I used to help me gain experience in a working environment within the design department at ST's largest designing centre in India. 

Whilst here, I worked within two departments simultaneously.  One of which was dealing with computer related software and design and the other department was dealing with the actual design and synthesis using CAD tools.

Whilst working within these departments I was given a good opportunity to become familiar with most of the latest CAD tools and major areas of ASIC and system on chip.  I also became familiar with how testing was implemented.

I was working alongside the designers who  worked on circuit design / development / verification issues related to high performance ASIC library development in 0.25m and 0.18m CMOS technology and who designed test chips to characterize the performance on silicon. Their work involved conceptualizing, RTL development, synthesis flow, circuit design of Device under Test and Test structures, Floor planning, Place & Route and physical design verification as well as working on developing a robust CAD flow for designing a Standard cell library.

I also designed the company's website that involved using HTML, Java and ASP- for more information, please see www.st.com

Professional Courses Attended

Whilst studying at MD University I studied the following courses:

I have also attended the following:

• Graduate program at the National Institute of Information Technology (New Delhi, INDIA)
• Igniit Program - this was to study various Programming and Database languages.

During my Msc degree I have carried out the following projects:

• RTL Description of a booth multiplier-design (including the simulation and the synthesis).
• Communication Systems: AM/FM Modulation-generating a random signal and its simulation at various frequencies on MATLAB and Simulink.
• Analogue and Mixed Signal CMOS Design - involved the design of an operational amplifier for a switched capacitor filter.
• Designed an 8.8 and a 16x16 Array Multiplier.
• Designed a micro machined open-loop capacitive accelerometer with the following specifications: Bandwidth 500Hz, Sensitivity 0.1pF/G, Dynamic Range +/-10G, Minimum detectable acceleration 1mG and developed a Simulink model of my accelerometer design.
• Designed a low power, fix throughput 12-bit multiplier with 0.18um dual threshold.
• 3000 word article on High K dielectrics focussing on device integration and fabrication
• Computer Aided Design: Process and Device simulation for calculating the threshold implant and adjust the threshold voltage.
• Worked on Sivaco software, process simulator ATHENA, Device simulator ATLAS, Plotgram, TONYPLOT and Circuit Simulation SPICE.
• Discussed and compared the surface and bulk micromachining of an Ecastre Beam.
• Digital Integrated Circuit Design coursework: For design Spec please visit, https://secure.ecs.soton.ac.uk/notes.ez408/booth.pdf
• Worked on design and simulation of various integrated circuits using schematic capture, that is OrCAD and digital circuit simulation, that is Pspice.

I am also a member of the IEEE and have been for the past 2 years.

Hobbies and Interests

To complement my experience and education, I have a keen interest in electronics and new designs in Chips. 

I also enjoy keeping fit, this can range from playing Soccer, Cricket and Tennis and Body Building.

I also enjoy using the Internet as well as keeping up to date with current affairs.
