Instructor Profile:

Kunal Ghosh, co-founder of VLSI System Design (VSD) Corp. Pvt. Ltd., Kunal pioneers in the field of online open-source EDA (qflow & openroad)/open-source hardware (specially RISC-V) design and learning. Currently, Kunal owns around 32 high-quality VLSI online courses in and around open-source EDA/hardware, which is being consumed by around 28700+ students around 141 countries. Apart from trainings, Kunal has also worked with IIT Madras and IIT Guwahati on open-source activities and design projects. Currently, Kunal and his team are working on developing high quality open-source Analog/Digital IP’s which would be first one’s in the field of open-source hardware design. Prior to VSD, Kunal has worked with Qualcomm and Cadence, in field of SoC design. Kunal has done his Masters at IIT Bombay in field of VLSI & Nano-electronics, with specialisation in Sub-100nm Electron Beam Lithography Optimisation techniques

Steve Hoover, founder of Redwood EDA, Steve is fostering an open-source silicon ecosystem through numerous technologies including the WARP-V CPU core generator with support for RISC-V. His main focus is design methodology and tools enabled by Transaction-Level Verilog (TL-Verilog), available to all at makerchip.com. He is also the lead developer of the 1st CLaaS open-source framework for cloud FPGAs. Steve holds a BS in electrical engineering summa cum laude from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MS in computer science from the University of Illinois. He has designed numerous components for high-performance server CPUs and network architectures for DEC, Compaq, and Intel.
