Assistant Professor
Education : Ph.D. (IISc Bangalore)
Manikandan R R received his Ph.D degree from Electrical Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2014. His Ph.D thesis focus on "Low power and low spur frequency synthesizer circuit techniques for energy efficient wireless transmitters". From 2015 to 2016, he worked as a Lead design Engineer in Cadence Designs Systems, Bangalore, and designed frequency synthesizer circuits for SERDES applications. From 2016 to 2017, he was a member of Kilby Research Labs, Texas Instruments, Bangalore and designed ultra-low power analog circuits for an IoT power management application. From 2017 to 2023, he worked as an Analog Design Engineer at Texas Instruments and designed Isolated power and data transfer circuits and precision analog circuits.
