Member of Technical Staff
Altera

I have been working with Altera since 2007 working on SSN modelling and memory interface timing issues.

Ph.D.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University of Toronto

I received the the Ph.D. degree, the Master of Applied Science degree and the Bachelor of Applied Science degree n the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto.

My research interests are in low leakage and low variability designs; I have worked on reducing the leakage and variability of important circuit blocks, such as SRAMs, Domino gates, and FPGA building blocks.

My supervisor is Prof. Farid N. Najm.
