Massively parallel mixed-signal VLSI processor implementing a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for high-dimensional data classification. Pattern recognition and acoustic classification systems utilizing SVM parallel processing chips. Low-power charge-mode parallel A/D converters, delta-sigma converters, and high-speed, high-resolution, digitally calibrated pipelined algorithmic A/D converters (with {\bf Northrop Grumman Corporation}, Baltimore, MD). Reinforcement learning algorithms for intelligent robot navigation. Low-power analog and digital VLSI chips for high-performance instrumentation. Xilinx FPGA-based PCI bus interfaces for video and image processing microchips. Linux and Win2000 C++ device drivers, and Matlab interfaces. \item Visiting Researcher, Autonomous Systems Laboratory, {\bf Swiss Federal Institute of Technology}, Lausanne, Switzerland, 6/98-7/98. Developed Q-learning-based algorithms for mobile micro-robot navigation. Investigated their mapping onto VLSI architectures. \item Design engineer CO-OP, Advanced Development Team of the Color Digital Imaging Systems Division, {\bf Xerox Corporation}, Webster, NY, 3/96-8/96. Hardware-software co-design with Verilog, Xilinx tools, PALASM. Design and development of electrical and computer systems for new generation color copiers. \item Technical Director Assistant, Chesapeake Design Center, {\bf Atmel Corporation}, Columbia, MD, 6/95-12/95. Design and simulation of digital cells for ASICs, and design of layouts for different ASIC implementations. Created a Perl extraction tool to automate the process of getting data from HSPICE output files into a condensed and useful state used for creating of Verilog ASIC models. Analysis time has been reduced by 10-15 times. \end{description} \subsection{Teaching} \begin{description} \item Graduate Teaching Assistant, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. \\ ``Digital Signal Processing,'' 9/97-12/97, 9/98-12/98.\\ ``Electronic Design Laboratory,'' 1/98-5/98.\\ ``Analog and Digital VLSI Systems and Architecture,'' 9/99-12/99, 9/2001-12/2001. \item Teaching Assistant, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY. \\ ``Digital Systems Design,'' 2/95-5/95. \\ ``C Programming,'' 2/96-5/96. \end{description} \section{Awards and Honors} \begin{description} \item Best Paper Award, 5th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI'2001), Roman Genov, with Gert Cauwenberghs, 2001. \item Best Student Paper Award, 3rd place, IEEE Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS'2000), Roman Genov, with Gert Cauwenberghs, 2000. \item Best Presentation Award, IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN'99), Roman Genov, with Srinadh Madhavapeddi and Gert Cauwenberghs, 1999. \item Best Student Paper Contest Finalist, IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS'99), Roman Genov, with Gert Cauwenberghs, 1999. \item Rochester Institute of Technology Presidential Fellowship, 1995-96. \item American Council of Teachers of Russian Fellowship, 1994-95. \end{description} % % should include the following sections: % % \section{Refereed Journal Publications} % \section{Journal Papers Under Review} % \section{Conference Publications} % \section{Books and Book Chapters} % \section{Other Publications} % \section{Patents} \section{Invited Presentations} \begin{description} \item ``VLSI Array for Massively Parallel Kernel Computation,'' R.~Genov, invited presentation at Workshop on Neuromorphic Engineering.
