`
`
`VII. Professional Experience
`
`Details of My Professional Accomplishments
`
`US Government at National Science Foundation (3 years)
`
`
`In 2007 and 2008, I worked as the lead Program Director for Emerging Models and Technologies (EMT)
`program in the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (having nearly $140 Million annual budget)
`of the Directorate for Computer and Information and Science and Engineering, National Science Foundation,
`Arlington, Virginia. My mandate was to manage research grants in Nanoelectronic Modeling and Systems,
`Quantum Computing, and Biologically Inspired Computing for which I had an operating annual budget of about $18
`Million. Additionally, I participated in several NSF crosscutting programs such as Cyber-Enabled Discovery and
`Innovation (CDI), Expeditions in Computing, Major Research Instrumentation (MRI), Computing Research
`Infrastructure (CRI) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). In 2009, I worked as a Program Director in the Engineering
`
`
`
`4
`
`INTEL - 1002
`
`
`
`Directorate where I managed research in three broad areas: Adaptive Intelligent Systems (Machine Learning),
`Quantum, Molecular and High-Performance Modeling, and Electronic and Photonic Devices. During these three
`years, I interacted with several program managers and administrators of NSF, DARPA, ARO, ONR, and AFOSR to
`help launch national-level major research initiatives. I consider that serving the US government for a stint of three
`years has provided me an exceptional opportunity to acquire a vast amount of knowledge in various fields of science
`and engineering, to network with numerous researchers around the nation, and to gain divergent administrative
`experience.
`
`Teaching Experience (29 years)
`
`
`Since 1988, I have been teaching at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the
`University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
`
`
`Graduate courses developed and taught: 1) VLSI System Design, 2) Optimization and Synthesis of VLSI
`Layout, 3) Testing of Digital Circuits and Systems, 4) Advanced Computer Architectures, 5) Nanocircuits and
`Nanoarchitectures, 6) Ultra-Low-Power Subthreshold CMOS Circuits, and 7) Terahertz Technology and
`Applications.
`
`
`Undergraduate courses upgraded and taught: 1) Introduction to Digital Logic Design (sophomore level), 2)
`Digital Integrated Circuit Design (junior level), and 3) VLSI System Design (senior level).
`
`Industrial Experience (6.5 years)
`
`After my baccalaureate degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering, I worked for six years (1976-1982)
`as a Senior R&D Engineer at Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) in its Integrated Circuits Division. I designed several
`bipolar and CMOS analog and digital integrated circuits for consumer electronic systems. I was associated with the
`following chip development projects: i) Raster-scan vertical deflection system microchip for TV display, ii) Sync
`processing and horizontal deflection system microchip for TV display, iii) Video and audio IF stage IC’s for
`vestigial-AM and FM signal detection in TV receiver, iv) High-gain audio amplifier microchip for TV audio stage,
`v) Tape Recorder IC with automatic gain adjustments, vi) Hearing-aid IC, vii) Analog clock driver IC, and viii)
`LCD and AC Plasma display drive IC’s. Several million commercial chips were fabricated based on these designs.
`
`After finishing my MSc degree in Computer Science and while working towards my PhD degree in
`Electrical and Computer Engineering, I worked during the summers of 1985 and 1986 as a Member of Technical
`Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories. I was one of the two engineers who started the Bell Laboratory Cones/Spruce
`project - a new behavioral synthesis and layout automation tool for rapid prototyping of digital circuits. The main
`contribution of this effort was to demonstrate how a restricted version of C language could be used to model digital
`hardware much before commercial hardware description language (HDL) software tools like Verilog and System C
`were designed.
`
`Teaching Accomplishments and Evaluations:
`
`
`I have endeavored to pursue multidimensional education frontiers that transcend the confines of classroom
`and impact students as well as other professionals alike. My teaching contributions include authoring an
`undergraduate textbook and a video book, developing four advanced graduate courses, developing courseware for
`practicing engineers in industry, editing special issues in professional journals to stimulate research in emerging
`technologies, and fostering STEM education for K-12 students. Highlights of my teaching accomplishments are
`enumerated below:
`
`• Breakdown of my course offering at the University of Michigan over the past 30 years: (i) nearly 60% of courses
`I taught are on three undergraduate courses for sophomore, junior and senior; approximately 10% of
`courses are on two regular graduate courses; and about 30% of courses are on four new graduate courses
`designed and developed by me to promote the state-of-the-art CMOS research and train the future
`engineering workforce. I have taught three distinct undergraduate and six graduate courses at the University
`of Michigan.
`
`
`
`5
`
`INTEL - 1002
`
`
`
`• Authored an undergraduate textbook, “Lectures on Digital Logic Design”, about 500 pages. This book is based on
`my lectures in an introductory Digital Logic Design (EECS 270) course that I taught nearly twenty times at
`the University of Michigan.
`
`• Developed an “on-line course” on Digital Logic Design (NEEP 2221), which was produced in June 2005 at the
`Disney MGM Studio, Orlando, Florida by National Technological University (NTU), now acquired by
`Walden University that is widely regarded as a global leader in on-line education. With the support of
`major technology companies such as IBM, Motorola, and Hewlett-Packard, the NTU was founded in 1984
`to deliver academic courses to training facilities of corporations via a unique satellite network.
`
`• Developed a new graduate course on Ultra-Low-Power Sub-threshold CMOS Design (EECS 598-1):
`
`• Developed a new graduate course on Nanocircuits and Nanoarchitectures (EECS 598-2):
`
`• Developed a new graduate course on Terahertz Engineering: Theory and Applications (EECS 598-6) to promote
`research in spoof plasmonics, photonics, and microwave electronics.
`
`• Developed a new graduate course on Optimization and Synthesis of VLSI Layout (EECS 527) that I taught nearly
`half-a-dozen times. When I taught the course for the first time in 1988, there was no suitable textbook at
`that time. Therefore, I developed course materials, which were also adopted in other universities to teach
`new VLSI computer-aided design (CAD) course at that time.
`
`• Co-authored six advanced VLSI books to promote education in VLSI chip design and semiconductor memory
`technology. Our book on “Genetic Algorithms for VLSI Design, Layout and Testing”, Prentice Hall, 2000
`provides the foundation for developing distributed VLSI design automation tools by exploiting the
`multidimensional optimization capability of GA’s running concurrently on a network of workstations to
`rapidly solve problems. The book not merely brings the evolutionary computing and the broader
`engineering community together enabling them to solve complex engineering problems. The book also
`unravels many mathematical insights for constructing multidimensional chromosome operators, and
`challenges mathematicians to develop theoretical models for the evolutionary algorithms. Two of books I
`coauthored on semiconductor memory systems are “Testing and Testable Design of Random-Access
`Memory”, Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1996; and “Fault Tolerance and Reliability Aspects of Random-
`Access Memories,” Prentice Hall, 2002. They are being widely used by practicing engineers and
`researchers in semiconductor memory technologies because of their pedagogical values. The names of
`other books are listed in Publications section.
`
`• Edited a Special Issue in The Proceedings of the IEEE on Memristors: Devices, Models and Circuits, which can
`be adapted for teaching the next generation nano-circuits and nano-architectures.
`
`• To promote STEM education among K-12 students through imaginative mathematics software, I started
`developing Math Guru with the help of one of my ex advisees. The software was demonstrated in 1996-97
`at local schools and distributed. http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~mazum/mathguru.pdf.
`
`Numerous studies conducted by professional societies such as American Society for Engineering Education
`
`
`(ASEE) and National Academy of Engineering (NAE) have ardently advocated for educator’s multidimensional
`impact, in addition to conventional measures such as numerical rating and student feedback that serve as a rough
`metric for classroom performance. My numerical scores for teaching in courses I taught are provided below. While
`these data reflect my deeper commitments for education and training, I continually strive to impart broader impact
`by pursuing multidimensional teaching activities and training the future engineering workforces through integration
`of research and teaching.

`
`Research Accomplishments:
`
`
`In 1984, when I started my MS thesis at University of Alberta in the field of VLSI, I was inspired by the
`local (Edmonton, Canada) hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky whose famous quote (“A good hockey player plays where
`the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be”) defined the compass of my research work
`for the next 28 years as explained below. In Evolutionary CMOS research, I solved numerous use-inspired research
`problems that were 10 to15 years ahead of their time and eventually Moore’s Law has vindicated the practical merits
`of my research by impacting the memory and FPGA industry as pointed out below. In Revolutionary emerging
`technologies such as quantum tunneling devices, THz plasmonic devices (in THz regime), ionic devices (as non-
`volatile memories), and electron spin based devices (as ultra-low-power nonvolatile memories) I have made
`sustained impact for the past 23 years by collaborating with multiple leading researchers in universities and
`companies. In my research career, I have endeavored to emulate the Vannevar Bush model of triad synergy between
`University, Industry and Government establishments that was conceived at the aftermath of the Second World War
`to challenge academics to undertake enterprising and leadership role for catalyzing innovations, accelerated
`economic growth, and sustained US leadership in science and engineering.
`
` Details of my Research Accomplishments are provided at pp. 47-48 of this CV.
