About Me
 
I am a PhD student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
 

 
Education
  • Ph. D. - Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2007 (expected).
  • B. E. (Hons.) - Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, India, 2002.

 


 

 

Research

 

As part of my thesis, I am working on the problem of equivalence verification of datapath-oriented designs. My research advisor is Dr. Priyank Kalla.
