Over the last five-plus years, Raychowdhury\u0026rsquo;s group has pioneered novel control topologies for improving the integration and performance of embedded voltage regulators, and his students have obtained multiple Best Paper Awards and scholarships based on their work.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETheir research has also led to multiple papers in premier venues \u0026mdash; such as the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the VLSI Symposium, and the\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026ndash; as well joint technology development with several semiconductor companies, including Qualcomm. In particular, Raychowdhury\u0026rsquo;s group proposed a new circuit concept \u0026ndash; co-regulation of clock and power-supply in a single control loop \u0026ndash; that is currently being prototyped and evaluated by Qualcomm\u0026rsquo;s Processor Research Group.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERaychowdhury is a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he leads the Integrated Circuits and Systems Research Lab. Before joining ECE in 2013, Raychowdhury was a staff scientist at Intel\u0026rsquo;s Circuit Research Lab. His research interests include digital and mixed-signal designs with applications in microprocessors, SoCs, AI accelerators, and power-management integrated circuits.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professor\u0026nbsp;Arijit Raychowdhury has been selected for the 2020 Qualcomm Faculty Award (QFA) for his contributions to low-power system-on-a-chip (SoC) design, including his group\u0026rsquo;s work on power-management and clocking circuits that have impacted Qualcomm\u0026rsquo;s internal research and development.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Professor\u00a0Arijit Raychowdhury has been selected for the 2020 Qualcomm Faculty Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2020-04-27 21:59:26","changed_gmt":"2020-04-27 21:59:26","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2020-04-27T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2020-04-27T00:00:00-04:00","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":"https:\/\/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:\/\/www.qualcomm.com","title":"Qualcomm"}],"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":"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":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"139781","name":"Integrated Circuits and Systems Research Lab"},{"id":"10219","name":"qualcomm"},{"id":"184652","name":"Qualcomm Faculty Award"},{"id":"184653","name":"low-power system-on-a-chip design"},{"id":"184654","name":"power management"},{"id":"184655","name":"clocking circuits"},{"id":"184656","name":"embedded voltage regulators"},{"id":"184657","name":"novel control topologies"},{"id":"176699","name":"solid-state circuits"},{"id":"184658","name":"VLSI"},{"id":"184659","name":"digital and mixed-signal designs with applications in microprocessors"},{"id":"182662","name":"SOCs"},{"id":"184660","name":"AI accelerators"},{"id":"184661","name":"power-management integrated circuits"}],"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":""}}}
