Abstract

In this presentation, Dr. Pramod Govindan’s experience is summarized along with some of his key accomplishments. He has 11 years of Industry experience and 14 years of Academic experience in the field of System-on-chip (SoC) design which span across USA and India. The industry experience discussed in this presentation includes SoC design activities for the network processor ASICs, Cryptographic accelerator, DDR5 memory controller & Clock driver ASICs. The academic experience discussed in this presentation includes Ultrasonic 3D data compression, Residue number system-based cryptography, and System Verilog based capstone project. This presentation also discusses Dr. Govindan’s mission for the Professor of practice position, which includes activities such as Industry collaboration, involvement in System-on-Chip-Extension-Technologies (SoCET), Summer-Training-Awareness-and-Readiness-for-Semiconductors (STARS), and Purdue’s collaboration with India Semiconductor Mission (IMS) etc.

Bio

Dr. Pramod Govindan received his Bachelor of Technology in electronics and communication engineering from Government Engineering College in India, a Master of Science in VLSI and microelectronics and a Doctor of Philosophy in electrical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago. He had held technical/managerial positions at Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), California, and Rambus Chip technologies (India), and served as Assistant Professor at the University of North Florida (UNF), and Teaching Faculty at Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) and University of Maryland (UMD). His research interest and effort primarily include reconfigurable hardware system-on-chip based digital system design and hardware realizations of Cryptographic algorithms on application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA).
