// my proudest work
Two chips. Designed by me, made in silicon.
The culmination of my ECE degrees, undergrad and master's: two chips I designed, taped out, and brought up on the bench.
ECE 6745 · Project 1
The Popcorn Chip
- We built our own flow: standard cells, our own synthesis and place & route tool
- Counts the 1s in a byte, in silicon on a shared class shuttle die
- 256 / 256 inputs pass on the bench · TSMC 180nm
ECE 6745 · Project 2
The DNA Alignment Chip
- A custom accelerator that scores how well two DNA strands line up
- Taped out in TSMC 180nm, wire-bonded and tested on the bench
- 163 MHz at 1.8 V typical · validation complete
Undergrad + master's, in two chips
Taped out. Validated. Both.
- From logic gates in my first ECE classes to my own silicon
- Every step: RTL, verification, layout, signoff, bench testing
