• Most common RTL Bugs and How they are Fixed

    Explore seven of the most common RTL coding bugs that cause synthesis and simulation mismatches or silicon failures—such as incomplete sensitivity lists, missing default cases, poor clock gating, and blocking vs non-blocking assignment errors—and learn practical fixes with example code and waveform analysis to prevent costly design mistakes.

  • LED Chaser circuit with KiCAD at Purdue's Design Studio

    Hosted a PCB design workshop at Purdue where I guided students through designing, prototyping, and soldering an LED chaser circuit using KiCAD—turning digital schematics into real working hardware.

  • Breathing Life Back into TI-83 Calculators Through Soldering

    A step-by-step walkthrough of how I identified display issues on a broken TI-83 calculator and brought it back to working condition through soldering.

  • The Abated Invention Found Its Way Creating Electronic History

    Julius Edgar Lilienfeld was a visionary physicist whose early 20th-century patents laid the groundwork for the field-effect transistor (FET) and solid-state amplifiers, predating later semiconductor breakthroughs. Despite initial skepticism and technological limitations, his pioneering work has profoundly influenced modern electronics and semiconductor technology.

  • Penn State and U.S Air Force researchers have engineered a novel material that can now ‘think’

    Penn State and U.S. Air Force researchers have developed a novel soft, conductive mechanical material that acts like an integrated circuit capable of sensing, processing, and responding autonomously to external stimuli — effectively allowing the material to "think" and react without traditional electronics.
