About the Faculty:
Dr Amit Kumar Panda has received the M.Sc. degree in electronics from Berhampur University, India, in 2004, then M. Tech. degree in Electronic Design and Technology from Tezpur Central University, India, in 2009 and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Patna. He served as an Assistant Professor with the Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, India, from 2009 to 2012. He was an Assistant Professor with the Centre for Nanotechnology, Central University of Jharkhand, India, from 2012 to 2013.
His research interests include VLSI architectural design, FPGA based system design, VLSI architecture of Pseudorandom bit/number generation, VLSI cryptography and Hardware Security. He has good exposer in FPGA prototype, debugging with Xilinx Chipscope and logic analyzer, RTL design using Xilinx (ISE, System generator, IP core, Vivado) and Synposys (DC compiler, IC compiler). He has developed highly random and secured LCG-based PRBG methods such as Modified dual-CLCG and CVLCG, and their efficient VLSI architectures for stream cipher applications. He has also developed the efficient architecture of Blum-Blum-Shub (BBS) which is a polynomial time unpredictable, cryptographically secured PRBG method. He has worked on the arithmetic circuits such as adder, multiplier and comparator for the efficient implementation of random key generators, cryptography algorithms, physical security for the next generation communication system. He is currently working in light weight cryptographic processor for IoT applications.
