| Short Bio: Baibhab believes that robotic AI will never take over mankind, but cyborgs definitely can - and that's why it's a big deal to make the low-power neuromorphic systems work (or not to, just to avoid the possible doomsday). Before joining Ph.D., he worked for 3 years in the industry (2 years in Intel as a Digital Design Engineer, and 1 year in Tejas Networks as an R&D Engineer), but also had his fair share of academic fun at National Institute of Technology Durgapur, India (B.Tech., Electronics and Communication Engineering, 2011) and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India (M.Tech., Electrical Engineering, 2015). His research interests include intelligent mixed-signal circuits and systems for HBC/IoT/RF and of course, to keep away from plunging into another Age of Ultron in the process.
Baibhab has been the recipient of the NIT Durgapur Institute Gold Medal (B.Tech., 2011), IIT Bombay Institute Silver Medal (M.Tech., 2015), Intel India Customer Orientation and Results Orientation Awards (2016), Purdue University Ross and Andrews' Fellowships (2017-2019), HOST 2018 Best Student Poster (3rd) Award, HOST 2019 Best Student Paper (co-authored) Award and CICC 2019 Best Paper (overall) Award.
