I am a Graphics Hardware Engineer in the Image Processing Unit at Intel India, working on Graphics Architectures and Physical design optimization from synthesis to GDSII. I have been a aprt of some really interesting projects here so far. Currently, I am working on a new algorithm to solve cell congestion hotspots in a design by suggesting alternate locations considering timing slack and DRCs.

On the side of fun, I like to cook for friends & family. Ever so often, I also like to write poems at YourQuote. Like every music wannabe, I bought a keyboard recently and am sluggishly learning to play it. On weekends, I can be found in a quiet corner at some literary event in Bangalore.

I graduated from IIT Roorkee in 2018, where I was advised by Dr. Anand Bulusu. During my time at IIT Roorkee, I also had the pleasure to work with Dr. Sanjeev Manhas. For my hobby projects, I worked on some interesting stuff at the Artificial Intelligence & Electronics Section, IEEE Student Branch, and Mobile Development Group at IIT Roorkee.

During my bachelor’s, I had the opportunity to explore many fields, ranging from Analog circuits, CMOS Devices to delay modeling in digital circuits. I also got to work on Industry research problems during my Internship at STMicroelectronics with Mr. Pratap Narayan Singh and during my major thesis at IIT Roorkee.

I like interacting with my juniors. I did serve as a Teaching Assistant for the course ‘Semiconductor Devices’ twice and a mentor in the Institute’s Student mentorship program for freshmen undergrads.
