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.

Awards and honors

Pavan received the Young Engineer Award of the

in 2006; INAE would honor him again in 2011 with an elected fellowship. He was selected for the Swarnajayanthi Fellowship of the Department of Science and Technology for the year 2008–09 and this fellowship assisted him in pursuing his researches on gold nanowires.
