Projects
- Leader of a 4-bit absolute-value detector design workshop supervised by professor Dejan Markovic from UCLA. The design utilizes static CMOS logic and multiplexors and achieves a 50% increase in critical path delay than the minimum while yielding a 62.5% decrease in energy consumption.
- Designed an 8-bit ripple carry adder using Cadence Virtuoso. Completed layout design under DRC restrictions, and performed critical path delay analysis using Spectre simulator and TSMC PDK.
- Developed a five-stage MIPS Pipelining CPU in Verilog HDL using Xilinx Vivado.
- Simulated OFDM transmitter and receiver with MATLAB. Successfully generated OFDM symbol streams, extracted desired resource blocks, and decoded the OFDM symbols provided by the instructor.
