 VLSI Broadband Communication Circuits  

by Prof.Nagendra Krishnapura sir

 

Dr. Nagendra Krishnapura

He is an associate professor in the VLSI group of the department of Electrical Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He work in the area of analog and mixed signal circuits and signal processing.

  He graduated with a Ph.D. from Columbia University, New York in Oct. 2000. He worked at the Columbia Integrated Systems Laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Yannis Tsividis in the area of nonlinear analog signal processing for low power integrated circuits. He obtained his B. Tech. degree in electronics and communications engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in 1996. Between 2000 and 2005, He worked as a senior design engineer at Celight, Inc. and Multilink(later Vitesse Semiconductor) where he designed integrated circuits for high speed communications. From 2003 to 2005, he was an Adjunct Assistant Professor and taught courses on Analog Circuit Design at Columbia University.
