Work, learning, and technical contributions

Semiconductor technlogy

Currently, I work as a Senior Principal Engineer at ON Semiconductor in the MOSFET Device Design group. I have been a semiconductor technologist for 15+ years, working in the field of power electronics systems, semiconductor technology development, and product innovation.

I am also leading AI/ML based projects to add value to semiconductor design and product innovations. My projects involve interesting ideas such as...

• neural network-in-circuit-simulation loop,
• deep learning based design quality recommendation,
• edge AI in power management,

Formal education

I have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a B.Tech in Instrumentation Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur.

I am also pursuing an Masters of Science (MS) Degree in Analytics (specializing in Computational Data Analytics) from Georgia Tech, since Fall 2018. I plan to finish it by summer 2021.

Data science, Machine learning

Apart from my work, I do personal projects on data science and machine learning. I contribute to open-source and have published multiple Python packages related to data analytics and statistical modeling. See this page for my projects.

I am a data science communicator, publishing highly cited articles on popular online platforms such as Medium, AnalyticsVidya, Opensource.com, and KDnuggets.

• KDNuggets Author Page
• Experfy Author Page
• My page at Opensource.com

My first data science related book Data wrangling with Python was published on February, 2019. In future, I wish to self-publish a second book about Hands-on mathematics/statistics for data scientists.

I regularly conduct/teach IEEE workshop/Boot camps on data science and ML topics, in collaboration with ValleyML.ai organization. See this page to register for this year's Boot camp.

I have been invited to multiple webinars and podcasts where I have talked about my journey in the field of data science and machine learning. Here is the latest webinar I gave in July 2020.

Contribution to the technical community

I am serving on the Technical Content Committee for the Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) West, 2020.

In 2015, I was elevated to the grade of Senior Member of IEEE for my contributions towards power electronics. I have authored/co-authored more than 25 peer-reviewed Transaction and Conference papers, 2 monographs/book chapters, and 4 U.S. Patents. Here is my Google Scholar Page.

I also serve on the technical program committee as Track/Topic chair in numerous IEEE conferences. I am the co-chair of the Semiconductor Committee of Power Supply Manufacturers' Association (PSMA).
