  Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

  As part of the Ph.D dissertation

  my area of research is focused on formulating best practices for building hardware designs for living computational science applications. The application code is written in a way to exploit the parallelism offered by the FPGA

  there by reducing the overall execution time. The application code is also written in a way to reduce the overall power consumption. The work mainly focuses on using this special hardware called FPGA and programming the computational science applications

  which run on them.

  M.S

  M.S thesis entitled “Design and Implementation of a Fuzzy Inference Engine on an FPGA”. The thesis addresses the design issues in embedding fuzzy controllers on an FPGA. The designed fuzzy controller has been tested in real-time with Real Time Window Target toolbox of MATLAB. Design of a rapid prototyping platform has been carried out for the testing/design of the fuzzy controllers.

  B.E

  A system for wireless transmission of energy (watt-hour) meter readings was designed as a major project for the partial fulfillment of the B.E. program. The designed system uses FM as a transmission protocol to transmit the readings of the meter from one end to other end.

  As part of my Ph.D dissertation

  I am focusing on building reconfigurable architectures for running High Performance Computing (HPC) applications such as Molecular Dynamics and Electro-Magnetics on a 64-node FPGA cluster. My research also focuses on designing low power reconfigurable architectures for HPC applications. In addition to that I have design experience in porting scientific applications on to a multicore environment.
