Amitabh Yadav
Ph.D. candidate at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Currenly building Hackframe and writing at Periodic Perplexities.
I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate at EPFL, specializing in low-power digital/mixed-signal integrated circuit design with a focus on closed-loop neural interfaces. I received my B.Tech. degree in electronics engineering from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India, in 2017, and the M.Sc. degree in computer engineering from Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, in 2019. I was an Experimental Physicist in quantum computing at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA, and UC Berkeley, USA and later joined as a Fellow at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland. Since 2024, I am a pursuing my doctoral degree at the Integrated Neurotechnologies Laboratory in Campus Biotech, Geneva.
In my spare time, I work on white hat hacking on networks and practice playing the piano. A wannabe music composer, I keep experimenting on the DAW whenever I find time. The progress on that front, however, has not been so impressive. I like running, bike-packing, photography, swimming and hiking - this comes alongside my hobbies as ranging from a nature lover to exploring ancient cities with intriguing historical backgrounds.
Lastly, one of my personal ambitions is to live at least till the age of 106 - this way I would be among the handful few who would have lived and experienced three centuries! Yayy!
