Taught ten different courses in Electronics & Communications Engineering for undergraduate students. Subjects include Advanced Circuit Analysis, Fundamental Devices (Diodes, BJT, MOSFETs), Differential and Operational Amplifiers, Feedback Theory, Filters, Oscillators, Sensors and Analog Front End. Radio Frequency Engineering and Communications.

• Lead Applications Engineer for Synthesis, Place and Route tools including:
• Methodology, Implementation and design issues as related to silicon implementation of Digital Designs (RTL to GDSII) using Cadence tools.
• Team Lead for Synthesis tools.
• Helped several customers in silicon implementation of their chip level/block level RTL's into sign off quality hard blocks. The customer support included Logic Synthesis, Physical Synthesis, DFT, Floorplan, Placement.

Project involved development of a microcontroller SoC chip (TMS 470) for airbag and antilock braking applications. Responsibilities included - Logic synthesis including low power synthesis in a standard ASIC flow environment.- Minor RTL design modifications of modules. - Spice simulations for analog integrity of I/O circuits in an unreliable power supply.

Pentium Clone Microprocessor. Design of High Speed Custom digital blocks using schematic capture (transistor based design). The custom digital blocks designed were for the 32 bit integer multiplier unit of the ALU. Pre-layout and post-layout simulations within Cadence's design framework environment. Other activities included Design for Test (DFT) logic.
