Hi,

I'm Dinesh, currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Microelectronics and VLSI at IIT Hyderabad.

My journey into research hardware engineering has been one of persistence, problem-solving, and purpose. From the start, I’ve been driven by a simple question: how can we build intelligent hardware systems that are not only powerful but also practical and reusable? Whether it’s real-time decision-making in constrained environments or supporting the ever-growing demands of AI, my focus has always been on designing hardware that can go the distance—and take others along with it.

I'm sure I'm not the first research hardware engineer, but at least the first one on this website.

I've been at the University of Southampton since 2014 when I started my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering, and then onto a PhD in semiconductor material optimisation. For the past 2 years I have been working with John Darlington at SoC Labs, where I do a lot of digital and analog hardware design. 

Hi,

My name is John Darlington and I work in Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton.

Hi,

I am not really a Research Hardware Engineer, I am actually a Research Software Engineer and I am the web master for the Research Hardware Engineer site. 

How did I get involved with the Research Hardware Engineer community?
