Research on Physical Design Automation
A research internship on automated physical synthesis of integrated circuits.
About
As part of my engineering curriculum, I completed a three-month internship at UFRGS (Brazil) in the field of Physical Design Automation. Under the supervision of Professor Ricardo Reis, I developed a synthesis flow using the OpenROAD open-source toolchain adapted to the ASAP7 technology. The objective was to compare different standard cell libraries by analyzing their area, power consumption, and overall performance. This experience exposed me to advanced semiconductor concepts, the challenges of chip design automation, and international academic collaboration. It strengthened my ability to quickly learn new technical domains and adapt to complex tooling environments.
