The impact is measured by commercialization and\u0026nbsp;wide adoption of the nominee\u0026rsquo;s contributions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERaychowdhury won the award for his\u0026nbsp;contributions to \u0026quot;integrated DSL modems,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ealways-on\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Eand\u0026nbsp;intelligent\u0026nbsp;sensor hardware and model development for non-linear control in voltage regulators.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPrior to attending graduate school, Raychowdhury first\u0026nbsp;worked as an analog researcher at Texas\u0026nbsp;Instruments (TI) for two\u0026nbsp;years,\u0026nbsp;where he\u0026nbsp;designed the\u0026nbsp;world\u0026#39;s first adaptive\u0026nbsp;mixed-signal\u0026nbsp;echo-canceller for the receive-channel in ADSL modems. It used a hardware based\u0026nbsp;optimizer for\u0026nbsp;impedance matching and resulted in 1.5X range improvement. Raychowdhury holds two key patents in this area, and the design eventually was adopted by three generations of TI modems and was\u0026nbsp;awarded the EDN design of the year award.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter\u0026nbsp;receiving his Ph.D., Raychowdhury joined Intel Labs as a research scientist where he led the design of \u0026quot;always-on\u0026quot; smart microphones, which led to a design win with BMW and led to the adoption of the technology in automotive infotainment systems. This was\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;industry\u0026#39;s first hardware design that incorporated an\u0026nbsp;ultra-low power microphone-sensor front-end with a\u0026nbsp;fully-programmable keyword-spotting hardware.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince joining Georgia Tech in 2013, Raychowdhury has been exploring various aspects of power-efficient design. Most notably, his students and he contributed to the development of switched-mode and non-linear control in high-bandwidth all-digital, linear regulators that have gained wide traction with the\u0026nbsp;semiconductor companies. The design principles have been adopted in internal\u0026nbsp;test-chips and system prototypes at Qualcomm and Intel.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERaychowdhury was nominated for this IEEE\/ACM award by researchers and engineers from\u0026nbsp;Qualcomm, TI, TSMC, and Intel with support from Georgia Tech and the University of California, Berkeley.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Associate Professor\u0026nbsp;Arijit Raychowdhury received the 2018\u0026nbsp;IEEE\/ACM \u0026quot;Innovator Under 40 Award\u0026quot; at the Design Automation Conference, held June 24-28 in San Francisco, California.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor\u00a0Arijit Raychowdhury received the 2018\u00a0IEEE\/ACM \u0022Innovator Under 40 Award\u0022 at the Design Automation Conference, held June 24-28 in San Francisco, California.\u00a0"}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2018-07-06 14:38:17","changed_gmt":"2018-07-06 14:38:17","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2018-07-06T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2018-07-06T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"601403":{"id":"601403","type":"image","title":"Arijit Raychowdhury","body":null,"created":"1516982333","gmt_created":"2018-01-26 15:58:53","changed":"1516982333","gmt_changed":"2018-01-26 15:58:53","alt":"Arijit Raychowdhury","file":{"fid":"229203","name":"142871_web.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/142871_web.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/142871_web.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":161787,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/142871_web.jpg?itok=uoHrox0N"}}},"media_ids":["601403"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/arijit-raychowdhury","title":"Arijit Raychowdhury"},{"url":"http:\/\/icsrl.ece.gatech.edu","title":"Integrated Circuits and Systems Research Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www2.dac.com\/events\/eventdetails.aspx?id=251-165","title":"IEEE\/ACM \u0022Innovator Under 40 Award\u0022 Panel"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dac.com","title":"Design Automation Conference 2018"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"143","name":"Digital Media and Entertainment"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"139771","name":"Arijit Raychowdhury"},{"id":"1506","name":"faculty"},{"id":"276","name":"Awards"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"178485","name":"IEEE\/ACM Innovator Under 40 Award"},{"id":"178486","name":"Design Automation Conference"},{"id":"178487","name":"intelligent sensors"},{"id":"167028","name":"hardware"},{"id":"178488","name":"mixed-signal electronics"},{"id":"178489","name":"ADSL modems"},{"id":"1470","name":"Texas Instruments"},{"id":"10219","name":"qualcomm"},{"id":"4767","name":"Intel"},{"id":"178490","name":"TSMC"},{"id":"7569","name":"analog"},{"id":"178491","name":"smart microphones"},{"id":"178492","name":"automotive infotainment systems"},{"id":"178493","name":"keyword-spotting"},{"id":"178494","name":"power-efficient design"},{"id":"167686","name":"Semiconductors"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
