I am a Doctoral candidate in the Elelctrical Engineering department at Penn State University. My advisors are Dr. Vijay Narayanan and Dr. Mary Jane Irwin in the Microsystems Design Laboratory. Prior to this I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Annamalai University, India and Master of Science degree (M.S) in Electrical Engineering here at Penn State . My research is focussed on analysis and modeling reliable components in VLSI circuits. I have researched mainly in soft errors in logic circuits and flip-flops.
