I am Anirudha Behera, a diligent Graduate student at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, specializing in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Computers and Microelectronics. My education includes advanced coursework in VLSI, CAD techniques, and high-performance IC systems, underpinning my expertise as a Certified VLSI Physical Design Engineer. In the professional realm, I have demonstrated extensive proficiency in ASIC design, particularly mastering the RTL to GDSII flow. My experience is supported by my adept use of industry-leading EDA tools including Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Xilinx, which has driven exceptional outcomes in both academic and project settings. Through hands-on roles, such as a Research Assistant at IIT’s Design Automation Lab and a Physical Design Intern at Chipedge Technology, I have effectively utilized FPGA boards and contributed to research projects on ASIC and FPGA development. My projects have involved pioneering techniques for optimizing design quality and efficiency, particularly for advanced technology nodes. Currently, I am seeking an entry-level position where I can leverage my technical skills, contribute to innovative projects, and continue my professional development within a dynamic engineering team.
