Video Lectures on PLA Minimization (PLA Folding) and Testing by Prof. S.K.Lahiri sir
Samir K. Lahiri obtained M.Tech. and Ph.D. in Radio Physics and
Electronics from the University of Calcutta in the years 1966 and 1971
respectively. He joined the faculty of Indian Institute of Technology
Kharagpur in the Department of Electronics & Electrical
Communication Engineering in November 1971. Since then he served I.I.T.
Kharagpur in various capacities: He became Professor in 1985,
Co-ordinator – Microelectronics Centre in 1989, Dean – Sponsored
Research and Industrial Consultancy (1997 – 2000), Chairman – Advanced
Technology Centre in 1998, and the Deputy Director of the Institute
during 2002 – 2005.. He took active role in the development and
expansion of teaching and research programmes in microelectronics/VLSI,
semiconductor devices, microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS), integrated
optics and surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) devices. He has led research
groups in challenging R & D activities in the above areas, sponsored
by various agencies, which resulted in development of silicon linear
bipolar ASICs, ECL gate chips, MEMS such as silicon micromachined
thermal detectors, accelerometers, quartz micromachined gyro-chips and
DETF accelerometer chips, integrated-optic waveguides and components,
special SAW filters, etc. He also played the key role in setting up the
Advanced VLSI Design Laboratory, Space Technology Cell and MEMS Design
Laboratory in IIT Kharagpur. He has supervised 12 Ph. D. theses and
authored about 150 research papers. He was the Secretary, Vice-President
and President of IEEE Kharagpur Section in the early 1990s. He serves
in various National Level Committees on Smart Materials &
Structures, Nanotechnology and VLSI Design and is in the Research
Council of CSIO Chandigarh and in various national level committees of
ISRO, DRDO, CSIR, NPSM, DSIR, DIT/MCIT and other organisations. He is a
Fellow of Indian National
Academy of Engineering.
