Where I work — device, signal, and system.

Four domains I build depth in, from silicon behaviour up to working hardware.

F-01

Semiconductor Device Modelling

TCAD device simulation of FinFET and GaNFET architectures — sweeping gate scaling, analysing defect detection, and mapping the sensitivity-versus-noise trade-off for biosensing.

Analog & Mixed-Signal Design

Analog circuit design and simulation across schematic capture and SPICE — building intuition for signal integrity, biasing, and the behaviour of real devices.

Embedded Systems

Firmware and protocol work on resource-constrained microcontrollers — including a dual-layer XOR + Morse secure-messaging scheme running end to end on an 8-bit AT89S52.

PCB & Hardware Prototyping

Schematic-to-board PCB design and RF prototyping — including antenna design, fabrication, and closing the loop between simulated and measured response.

FinFET & GaNFET Biosensor Research

Nanoscale biosensors trade sensitivity against noise — device geometry decides which wins. Ran TCAD simulation (Synopsys + Silvaco) of FinFET and GaNFET architectures for biosensing and high-frequency sensing, sweeping gate scaling and analysing defect-detection behaviour. Quantified the sensitivity-vs-noise trade-off across gate lengths, producing device-sizing guidance for biosensing performance. Presented at the International Conference on Multifunctional Materials.

Secure Messaging on an 8-bit Micro

Standard encryption is too heavy for resource-constrained 8-bit hardware. Designed a lightweight dual-layer scheme — dynamic XOR keying over Morse encoding — sized to the AT89S52's memory and clock budget, resulting in reliable, low-overhead secure messaging running on 8-bit hardware end to end.

TCAD Nanosensor Sensitivity Study

Improving nanosensor sensitivity for biosensing applications as a core team member of the IEEE Photonics Society, Chennai. Contributed TCAD-based device simulations to team biosensor solutions, building on research webinars in quantum computing and semiconductor methodologies — simulation groundwork feeding the society's biosensor solution work.

Antenna Design & Fabrication

Getting a fabricated antenna to match its simulated behaviour is the hard part. Designed, fabricated, and tested antennas as part of RF/electronics training, iterating between simulated and measured response — hands-on RF capability from EM simulation through physical fabrication and measurement.
