Vaibhav Venugopal Rao

Vaibhav is a Ph.D. student focusing on circuit level techniques to protect analog IP from intellectual property theft and counterfeiting. His Ph.D also focuses on variation aware automation of analog circuit design to reduce design time by minimizing iterations. He have experience in designing analog and custom integrated circuits and EDA tools. Vaibhav received his M.Sc. degree in computer engineering from Drexel University, PA, USA, in 2017.
