About me
I was born in Chennai, India on 5/5/1984.
I obtained my under graduate degree in 2006 from the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Anna University . I am currently pursuing Masters under
Dr. Patrick Roblin,
director of Non Linear RF laboratory . My current focus is
on the substrate extraction of sub 90 nm gate length RF MOSFETs using
Large Signal Network Analyzer.
Please feel free to explore my web page.
