Santanu Kundu received his BTech degree in instrumentation engineering
from Vidyasagar University, Medinipur, West Bengal, India, in 2002.
Thereafter, he served in industry for a couple of years as an electronics
engineer and returned to academia for pursuing higher studies in 2004. He
received his MTech in instrumentation and electronics engineering from
Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, in 2006. Immediately after
that he joined the electronics and electrical communication engineering
department at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, West Bengal,
India, for pursuing a PhD with specialization in microelectronics and very
large scale integration (VLSI) design. He received his PhD degree in 2011.
Currently he is working as a system-on-chip (SoC) senior design engineer at
LSI India R&D Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, Karnataka, India. His research interests
include network-on-chip architecture design in 2D and 3D environments,
performance and cost evaluation, signal integrity in nanometer regime,
fault-tolerant schemes, and power–performance–reliability trade-off.
Santanu Chattopadhyay received his BE in computer science and technology from Calcutta University (BE College), Kolkata, West Bengal, in 1990.
In 1992 and 1996, he received his MTech in computer and information
technology and PhD in computer science and engineering, respectively, both
from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, West Bengal, India.
Before joining the IIT, Kharagpur, he was a faculty member at BE College,
Howrah, West Bengal, India, and the IIT, Guwahati, Assam, India. He is currently a professor in the electronics and electrical communication engineering department at the IIT, Kharagpur. His research interests include CAD
tools for low-power circuit design and test, system-on-chip testing, and
network-on-chip design and test. He has more than hundred publications
in refereed international journals and conferences. He is the coauthor of the
book Additive Cellular Automata—Theory and Applications published by the
IEEE Computer Society Press in 1997. He has also written textbooks such as
Compiler Design, System Software, and Embedded System Design, all published
by PHI Learning, New Delhi, India. He is a member of the editorial board of
the journal IET Circuits, Devices and Systems.
