• Coordinated and led month-long trip abroad in which we installed solar power systems with A/C wiring for 2 indigenous Amazon communities
• Prototyped charge controller circuit and small-scale hydropower charger
• Manage weekly team meetings, 4 large recruitment events per year, and internal and external communications

• Created a complete RISC-V, out-of-order, 6-stage pipelined, 2-way superscalar processor with P6 style register renaming and early branch recovery written in SystemVerilog and compiled, synthesized with Synopsys tools
• Verified and debugged design with testbenches, Verdi waveform viewer, and C and assembly programs

• Designed a low-voltage bandgap reference circuit including its op-amps and startup elements for a 1.2V supply, 100uA current, and 10ppm/℃ temperature coefficient (5x better than required coefficient)
• Utilized Calibre for layout/DRC/LVS and Spectre for simulation and Monte Carlo analyses, showing 100% yield

• Finished a single slope ADC cell in Cadence Virtuoso by customizing its analog mixed signal simulation testbench in SystemVerilog and updating its layout
• Validated the signal integrity of a post-ROIC channel for space applications using eye diagrams in SpectreX simulator
• Initiated schematic integration of FPGA and DDR DRAM in Altium Designer
• Analyzed root cause corrective action for temporal and spatial image degradations

• Implemented a complete RISC processor with both custom and APR blocks
• Added to baseline chip a 64-word by 16-bit 8T SRAM block with a voltage level converter
• Characterized functionality and performance with digital and analog simulations which informed improvements

Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
