context_page_description: Yendluri Shanthi Pavan is an Indian electrical engineer and a professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He is known for his studies on mixed signal VLSI circuits and is an elected fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He is also a fellow of IEEE. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Engineering Sciences in 2012.
context_section_description: Y. Shanti Pavan, born on the first day of June 1973, did his graduate studies in electronics and communication engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras from where he earned a BTech in 1995 and moved to the US to pursue his higher studies. Joining Columbia University, he secured a master's degree in 1997 and followed it up with a PhD in 1999. His postdoctoral studies were at Texas Instruments at their Warren centre and in 2000, he started his career at Big Bear Networks, Sunnyvale. Returning to India in 2002, he joined his alma mater, IIT Madras, as a member of faculty and serves as a professor at the department of electrical engineering.
  During his postdoctoral studies, Pavan worked on high speed analog filters and data converters and shifted his focus to microwave ICs for data communication while working in Sunnyvale. Later, he concentrated on analog mixed signal VLSI circuits and has since developed many designs of core components of electronic systems. He has documented his researches by way of several articles; a number of online repositories of scientific articles, have listed many of them. He holds two patents viz. Low distortion filters and Method and apparatus for low power continuous time delta sigma modulation and has developed a series of video lectures. He has also been associated with IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems journal, serving as a member of the editorial board of Part II - Express Briefs during 2006–07 and as the Deputy Editor-in-chief and Editor-in-chief of Part I - Regular Papers for the terms 2012–13 and 2014–15 respectively.
