  • About

    Greetings, and welcome to my little abode on the web ! I am currently happily employed in the Electronic Design Automation industry at Cadence Design Systems in Pittsburgh. I earned a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and yet another one in Information and Computer Science from University of California, Irvine. Previously, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in India. I can be reached at koushik dot niyogi at gmail dot com.

    Research

    At Carnegie Mellon, I worked with Dr. Diana Marculescu on low power energy aware computing and CAD tools for low power VLSI system design. My research included system level modeling of mixed clock FIFOs and pausible clock circuits in Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous communication systems for system-on-chip designs.

    Previous research

    At University of California, Irvine, I worked with Dr. Sharad Mehrotra in trying to formalize a quality aware middleware system to reduce communication energy overhead in sensor nodes as a part of the Quasar project.
