====== Ankesh Jain ====== {{:grads:ee09d011:ankk.jpg?200|}} Welcome to my web-page, I am a PhD candidate in VLSI group at IIT Madras. I am working under the guidance of Prof. Shanthi Pavan. My area of interest is analog and mixed signal design. Currently, I am working on High speed Continuous time Delta Sigma Modulators. Before joining here, I was with Freescale semiconductor for two years. There, I was working on PLL and clock synthesizers. === Publications === * A. Jain and S.
