Welcome to Saurabh's Home Page

Always Under Construction !!!!!!

I was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. I graduated from UoM in 2004 and joined the EDA company Synplicity Inc in their ASIC division. I am currently working in their Central Technology Group.

My research advisor is Prof Igor Markov.
