Long biography Vikram CV 

Vikram Jain is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Purdue University (Fall 2026). Currently, he is a Principal Engineer at TSMC, San Jose, working on efficient AI acceleration architectures and compute-in-memory design.

Previously, Vikram was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, within the SLICE Lab and Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC). During his time at Berkeley, he taught the IC Design Project class (guiding students through chip tapeouts) and co-instructed the Hardware for Machine Learning course. He obtained his Ph.D. from KU Leuven (MICAS Laboratories) and was a Visiting Researcher at ETH Zurich.

His research focuses on AI accelerators, hardware-software co-design, and chiplet (2.5D/3D) architectures for high-performance computing. His work has been published in top-tier venues including ISSCC, JSSC, VLSI, and DAC. He is a recipient of the SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Award and the Swedish Institute Research Fellowship.
