    Industry R & D Collaboration

    • Member, Board’s IT Strategy Group and I.T. Advisory Comm., Canara Bank (2022 - Present)

    • Core Design Engineer, National Semiconductors Team with members from Germany, Israel & U.S. for developing System S.W. tools, simulators, compilers, etc. for their CR16X series of processors. In this work, Prof. Richard Brown, Univ. Michigan USA was another collaborator. We made per week deliveries for their design engineers, which were regularly used by many categories of stakeholders, from system designers to application users. (2001 – 2006)
