Mohanad Roshdy

• Selected as one of the top 8 teams from 4 universities in ICDC2025 to design a full audio amplifier IC from architecture to fabrication, ultimately winning 1st place.

• Gained hands-on experience with Synopsys EDA tools for circuit design, verification, and layout implementation of the audio amplifier IC.

• Validated bandgap reference performance for stable bias current generation in an operational amplifier, analyzing gain, bandwidth, noise, and power efficiency to meet analog design specifications.

• Collaborated in a structured design review process, preparing technical reports and defending design trade-offs to peers and mentors.

• Designed and simulated analog circuit blocks using Cadence Virtuoso for both front-end and back-end analog IC design, working within an automotive-qualified PDK.

• Developed a high-precision on-chip Over-Temperature Detection sensor, later adopted as my Final Year Project and awarded Best Research Paper Award and Best Achievers Award.

• Verified circuit functionality across a 140°C - 190°C operating range for automotive thermal protection applications.

• Performed PVT corner and Monte Carlo simulations to verify robustness, yield, and quality under process, voltage, and temperature variations.
