Profile
In December 2020, Mazad S. Zaveri re-joined the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), at Ahmedabad University (AU), as associate professor.
He worked as associate professor at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar during Decemeber 2018 to November 2020. He was also the incharge Head of the ICT Department, at PDPU during July-August 2020.
He worked as assistant professor at Ahmedabad University during December 2014 to November 2018. He also worked as assistant professor, at the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT), Gandhinagar, during June 2010 to November 2014. During January to May 2014, he was also a visiting faculty at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara.
During 2003-2009, he worked as research assistant at the (erstwhile "Oregon Graduate Institute") Oregon Health and Science University, and Portland State University, under research funding from NSF and DARPA.
Mazad S. Zaveri got his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Portland State University in 2009, his MSE in Electrical Engineering (specialization: Digital CMOS VLSI) from Arizona State University in 2003, and his BE in Instrumentaton and Control Engineering from Gujarat University in 2000. He passed his HSC and SSC (school certification exams) from St. Xavier's School - Loyola Hall, Ahmedabad.
Mazad S. Zaveri's research interests are in the areas of: digital neuro-morphic VLSI architectures, arithmetic-logic Low-PDP digital CMOS circuits and sub-systems. He has guided several MTech and BTech Theses/Projects, mostly related to the area: digital neuro-morphic VLSI systems.
He has guided two PhD candidates: (1) Dr. Manan Mewada, in the area: digital CMOS low-PDP adder circuits; (2) Dr. Ankur Changela, in the area: FPGA implementation of high-radix and mixed-radix CORDIC
Mazad S. Zaveri has taught courses in the digital VLSI/Electronics area, such as: Digital CMOS VLSI Design, VLSI Sub-system Design, Computer Organization, Embedded Systems using ATMEGA microcontrollers, Digital Logic Design and Verilog HDL, Basic Electronic Circuits.
Mazad S. Zaveri is a Parsi-Zoroastrian, whose native place is Devgadh Baria (in Panchmahal/Dahod district of Gujarat).
