A five-day course on Digital VLSI Design is planned during July 23-27, 2007. The course will be useful for faculty in Electronics and related disciplines, and students who have taken a course on digital design. The course assumes an exposure to concepts of CMOS VLSI design.

Conducted by:
David Money Harris, Associate Professor, Harvey Mudd College of Engineering, CA, USA
David Harris is an Associate Professor of Engineering at Harvey Mudd College. David received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1999 and his S.B. and M. Eng. degrees from MIT in 1994. His research interests include high speed CMOS VLSI design and computer arithmetic. He is the author or coauthor of CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems Perspective, Logical Effort, Skew-Tolerant Circuit Design, and Digital Design and Computer Architecture. He holds twelve patents, has written numerous papers, and has designed chips at Sun Microsystems, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Evans & Sutherland. He has also served as an expert witness in patent litigation. When he is not teaching or building chips, David enjoys mountain climbing and hiking with his son.

Bharadwaj Amrutur, Assistant Professor, ECE Dept, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
Bharadwaj Amrutur got a B.Tech in CS&E from IIT Bombay at Mumbai in 1990 and a MS and PhD in EE from Stanford University in 1994 and 1999 respectively. His PhD thesis was on Fast Low Power SRAM Design. From 1999 to 2001, he was employed at Agilent Labs; Palo Alto, CA where he primarily worked on High Speed Chip to Chip interconnects. From 2001 to 2004, he was employed at Greenfield Networks, Sunnyvale, CA, where he worked on two networking ASICs for high-speed packet processing applications. Since 2004, he has been braving Bangalore Traffic and Roads, to teach in the ECE Department at Indian Institute of Science.
