Researchers at the Automation, Verification, and Security (AVS) Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, have worked towards developing secure and dependable integrated circuits (ICs) for faster and more efficient computing.
The research looks at all aspects of the automated electronics design process like synthesis, verification, and security, and contributes towards strengthening the electronics manufacturing ecosystem in our country.
The findings have been published in top tier journals and conferences of IEEE. The research team is funded by ECR, CRG, and Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) grants from the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, and by a Research Fellowship from Intel (India).
The paper was authored by Dr. Chandan Karfa, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Guwahati, and co-authored by his research students Mohammed Abderehman, Debebdara Senapati, Surajit Das, Priyanka Panigrahi, and Nilotpola Sarma.
Some alumni who contributed to these endeavours are Ramanuj Chouksey, Jay Oza, Yom Nigam, Abdul Khader and Jayprakash Patidar. The team has collaborated with various international experts. Dr. Chandan Karfa is also the recipient of Qualcomm Faculty Award 2021.
With increasing computational demands, there is a need for application-specific processors that can outperform current CPUs.
