Hi, I’m Fahim, a dedicated Analog & Mixed-Signal IC Designer and Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Virginia. My passion lies in low-power VLSI design, AI-driven hardware accelerators, neuromorphic computing, and hardware security 📚. I thrive on solving complex engineering challenges at the intersection of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, optimizing performance, and pushing the frontiers of energy-efficient electronics.

I specialize in crafting high-efficiency, scalable, and robust circuit architectures that drive innovations in next-generation computing systems. My research revolves around the seamless integration of analog and digital processing elements, enabling highly efficient data conversion, signal processing, and AI-based computing. From ultra-low-power SoCs to high-precision data converters, my work aims to redefine the landscape of power-aware and intelligent electronics.

With extensive hands-on experience in custom silicon design, I have successfully taped out multiple chips across a diverse range of advanced technology nodes, including 22nm, 28nm, 45nm, 65nm, and 16nm. My expertise spans the entire VLSI design flow, from circuit conception and simulation to layout, verification, and final silicon implementation.

🔹Power-Efficient SoCs – Architecting custom system-on-chips (SoCs) optimized for low power and high-speed processing.
🔹Clock Generators & Timing Circuits – Developing precision clocking solutions, including oscillators, PLLs, and Multiplying delay-locked loops (MDLL).
🔹Custom Circuit Architectures – Innovating specialized circuit blocks, such as low-dropout regulators (LDOs), voltage references, amplifiers, and mixed-signal interfaces, Analog-to-Digital Converters ADC).

Whether it's developing ultra-low-power architectures, optimizing signal integrity, or enabling AI-driven computing hardware, I am passionate about bringing circuits to life—transforming innovative ideas into real-world silicon solutions. Let’s push the boundaries of next-generation electronics together! 🚀
