BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Santanu Sarkar completed his Ph.D on Analog and Mixed Signal VLSI circuit design from E& ECE department of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, in 2015. Dr. Sarkar, completed his post-doctoral fellowship from the ECE department of National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2017. As a part of his post-doctoral research, he has successfully taped out a 12-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) based ADC in 40 nm LP-CMOS technology in TSMC. Presently, Dr. Santanu Sarkar is working as an Asst. Prof. in the ECE department of NIT Rourkela. Few of his research interest are High speed Digital-to-Analog data converter design (DAC), Low power Analog-to-digital data converter design (ADC), analog and mixed signal system design and biomedical circuits design. Dr. Sarkar, also worked in various time bound research projects sponsored by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, and Space Application Center (SAC), ISRO. Dr. Sarkar has successfully taped out ASICs in 180 nm and 40 nm CMOS technologies. Dr. Sarkar, has published several peer reviewed journals and conference papers. Presently, he is working as a PI in two ISRO sponsored projects and serving as Co-PI in two other SERB, Govt. of India, sponsored projects.
