PhD in Mixed-Signal Design (University of  Edinburgh) | 25+ Years in Semiconductor R&D

I specialize in RF/mmWave front-end design and mixed-signal SoC integration for mission-critical applications across automotive, 5G/WiFi-7 infrastructure, and ultra-low-power IoT domains. My work bridges the gap between academic research and production-ready IC implementation, having led 12 successful tapeouts in nodes ranging from 180nm BiCMOS to 5nm FinFET technologies.

Technical Philosophy:
"Robust design starts at the EM level" – My methodology combines:

• First-principles analog intuition

• Statistical-aware circuit optimization (Monte Carlo/Process Corner)

• System-level co-simulation (IC-package-PCB interactions)

• Foundry-specific DFM rules implementation

Career Highlights (Quantifiable Impact)

• RF Expertise:
  Developed 2-40GHz Telecommunicaion ICs WiMAX, WiFI, STB, CDMS, LTE, 5G frontends achieving <1.6dB NF / >18dBm OP1dB in 28nm CMOS for 5G mmWave infrastructure (2020-2023)

• Mixed-Signal Leadership:
  Architected mPHY-3 & mPHY4 interfaces (architecture, loops & analog front/back ends)  12-16 bit 100MS/s to 4GS/s HDTV, Direct IF, Automotive

• Academic Contributions:
  Holder of 9 UK/EU/US and WO Patents for analog, modeling & biomedical solutions,, 4 Book Chapters, Neuromorphic (AI-Hardware). Mixed-Signal, Neural Processing, RF, and FinFet I/V Modelling/Characterization.
