Methods for abstracting RTL based VLSI designs to maximize HLS Design Space Exploration
August 1, 2014 – Present
This project involves investigation of different methodologies for abstracting RTL descriptions to C/C++ in order to automate the design space exploration for RTL level descriptions, in a more efficient way. Currently, the RTL designs are being parsed and undergoing graph transformations in order to extract behavioral detail from the hardware design and express the behaviour in C language.
Design Space Exploration for High Level Synthesis
August 1, 2013 – March 1, 2014
This project aims to develop an automated methodology for performing design space exploration of HLS designs, to provide a range of Hardware designs based on different constraints as chosen by the user, thereby abstracting the level of VLSI design to a higher level. The main contribution performed here is a proposed improved solution for exploring design space much faster and produces similar results as that of standard heuristics used for exploration.
Synthesizable SystemC benchmark suite for high level synthesis
April 1, 2013 – August 1, 2013
This benchmark suite contains designs of different domains written in SystemC. It may be used for simulation purposes or synthesizing into hardware using any commerical High Level Synthesis Tools(HLS) available in the industry. The programs are open- source and are available for direct download from this website. I encourage all to download and use these benchmarks for EDA tool feature verification.

SRM Nano Satellite
August 1, 2010 – May 1, 2012
SRMSAT is India's first Nano Satellite built by the undergraduate students of SRM University. It is a ~10kg satellite currently monitoring green house gases emission in India. Satellite was built in a record time of 2 years. I was involved in the design of the attitude determination algorithm, Kalman estimation algorithm, and Propagation algorithm along with the development of the overal atittude determination and control systems for the nano satellite.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate has a diverse background spanning academia, EDA software development, and data science. While there are significant stints in data science roles (A.S. Watson Group, Zwoop, AlikeAudience), a substantial portion of their career, particularly more recent roles, is heavily focused on hardware synthesis, VLSI, and embedded systems. The target role is 'Data Analyst', which requires a strong alignment with data analysis, visualization, and reporting, potentially less on advanced ML model development or hardware. The project diversity is high, but the alignment with a pure 'Data Analyst' role is moderate, leaning more towards a 'Data Scientist' or 'ML Engineer' profile. The breadth of skills is impressive but not all directly align with a typical Data Analyst profile.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's resume indicates experience in project leadership and managing interns, suggesting organizational and team collaboration skills. Their academic background and research roles imply strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. However, without specific psychometric test results or interview data, a detailed assessment of soft skills and operational fit is limited.
