• Systems Design
• Reconfigurable Computing
• Embedded Systems

Academics

• Currently working on Systems Design with Prof. Kavi Arya (KReSIT) and Prof. Madhav P. Desai (EE).

  Current coding effort involves generating a hardware implementation out of simple C programs, with the aim of exploring issues in RTL generation and systems-level modeling and verification.

  Tools used:

  • The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
  • SystemC

• MTech from KReSIT

  My MTech Project involved the design of an FPGA-based Reconfigurable Packet Classifier, intended for the network interface of a PC. This was carried out under the guidance of:

  • Prof. Kavi Arya (KReSIT)
  • Prof. D. Manjunath (EE)

  Presented a seminar on Hardware Compilation as part of the MTech course requirements.

• BE Electronics from D. J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Vile Parle, Mumbai (2001)

• High School (12th Standard) from the B. N. Bandodkar College of Science, Thane (1997)

• Received the National Talent Search (NTS) scholarship from NCERT (1995)

• Secondary and Primary schooling at Sau. Anandibai Keshav Joshi English Medium School, Thane (1995)

Publications

• "AHIR: A Hardware Intermediate Representation for Hardware Generation from High-level Languages" by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe, Hakim Raja, Kavi Arya and Madhav P. Desai, presented at the 20th International Conference on VLSI Design, January 2007.

Activities

• Free Software

Writings

• Newbie's Guide to Linux
• VLSI Design
• Computing in Indian Languages: A brief write-up on how to use Unicode and a phonetic keyboard in Windows, to create Devnagari documents.

Personal

• My personal blog.
• Snaps from my MTech Convocation
• Snaps from my Kelshi Trip
• The Experimental Wiki version of this website. Well actually that doesn't exist anymore ... check out my current experiments with DokuWiki instead.
• Currently reading (last updated on Tuesday, 20th March 2007):
  • The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
• A pretty concise way to describe myself
