Arizona State University, Tempe AZ

Director NSF I/UCRC Center for Intelligent, Distributed, Embedded Applications and Systems (IDEAS)

Sarma Vrudhula is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering with Arizona State University, and the Director of the NSF I/UCRC Center for Embedded Systems. He received the B.Math. degree from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. His work spans several areas in design automation and computer-aided design for digital integrated circuits and systems, focusing on low power circuit design, and energy management of circuits and systems. Specific topics include energy optimization of battery-powered computing systems, including smartphones, wireless sensor networks, and IoT systems that rely on energy harvesting; system-level dynamic power and thermal management of multicore processors and system-on-chip (SoC); statistical methods for the analysis of process variations; statistical optimization of performance, power, and leakage; new circuit architectures of threshold logic circuits for the design of ASICs and FPGAs. More recently he is investigating non-conventional methods for implementing logic, including technology mapping with threshold logic circuits; the implementation of threshold logic using resistive memory devices, and the design and optimization of non-volatile logic
