Assistant Professor

anuj [dot] verma [at] iiitb [dot] ac [dot] in

Education : Ph.D. (IIT Mandi)

Anuj Verma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at IIIT Bengaluru. He received his Ph.D. in VLSI Design from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi, where his research focused on developing hardware-efficient algorithms and VLSI architectures for advanced channel decoders targeting 5G and beyond (B5G) wireless communication systems.

Prior to joining IIIT Bengaluru, he worked as a Chief Engineer at Samsung Research Institute, Bengaluru (SRIB), gaining valuable industry experience in hardware design and development for advanced image processing and real-world applications.

His research interests focus on advanced digital VLSI architectures for next-generation communication and intelligent systems. His work focuses on the design and optimization of a high-throughput and energy-efficient channel decoders for 5G/B5G/6G standards, along with hardware–software co-design of AI accelerators for edge intelligence. He is particularly interested in reconfigurable and scalable architectures, algorithm–architecture co-design, and design space exploration for efficient real-time signal processing. His research also extends to ASIC/FPGA prototyping, RTL-to-silicon implementation, and system-level integration aligned with modern modem and SoC design practices.

Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of VLSI architecture, hardware acceleration, communication systems, and intelligent edge computing, with a focus on designing high-performance, energy-efficient, and reconfigurable digital systems for next-generation computing and communication platforms.

My primary research interests include:
