Biography

xDr. Vinod Pangracious joined AUD in Fall 2014 as Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. Prior to joining AUD, he was a research and development engineer at the Cypress Semiconductor Technology in San Jose, CA/Bangalore India and in 2004 he joined Infineon Technologies Germany to work with the Research and Development team to develop stack capacitor memories. In 2007, he moved to Switzerland to join Innovative Silicon a start-up company specialized in Zero Capacitor Memory. Professor Vinod’s research has focused on development 3D-NanoCAD and design methodologies for nano-scale semiconductor integrated circuits and reconfigurable architecture. Current focus of research in 3D-NanoCAD is design-assisted platform development to allow chip designers to combine silicon and non-silicon based semiconductor devices to optimize 3D chip design and its performance. For device and circuits side we specifically look at design automation techniques for assessing, enabling and optimizing semiconductor devices technologies as well as design-aware process integration.
