Sunny Sharma

Sunny Sharma has a wealth of experience in analog and mixed signal design. From 2023, they have been the Analog ASIC Team Lead at Acconeer AB. From 2018 to 2023, they were a Staff Engineer, Senior Researcher, and Acting Manager at Ericsson. During this time, they drove architecture evaluation, behaviour modelling and selection of appropriate Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) for 5G applications, achieved successful tape out of a 12-bit 16GigaSamples per second Analog-to-Digital Converter in 7nm FinFET technology, led and presented ‘wideband data-converter research for 5G systems’ at Ericsson Research Day 2019 in Sweden, successfully enabled designers to meet their intellectual ambitions, bridged work packages and circuit blocks to ensure a timely delivery of the 7nm FinFET data converter test chip, taped out a 12-bit 32/16 Giga Samples per second Time-Interleaved/Non-Time-Interleaved Digital-to-Analog converter in 7nm FinFET technology, and expanded research horizons to ‘wireless gaming for augmented/ virtual/ mixed reality’. From 2016 to 2018, they were the Co-Founder and CTO at GlucAWell, where they actively worked on developing the core technology behind a wearable non-invasive glucose monitoring device. Sunny also led a 4-member technology team for developing Android app, AWS cloud integration, and hardware testing, developed the sensor technology, alpha algorithm, wearable system architecture with medical grade security, engineered design from conceptual stage to pre-production ready design including High Density Interconnect (HDI) Radio Frequency rigid-flex PCB design, reduced bill of material by 44% for subsequent prototypes, and oversaw a 17 patient UX study in Australia conducted by ide group. From 2013 to 2016, they were an Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer at Infineon Technologies.

Sunny Sharma completed their primary and secondary education at Springdales School (D.K), New Delhi from 1997 to 2007. Sunny then obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008. Sunny also obtained a Bachelor of Science; B.E in Electrical Engineering from the Florida Institute of Technology in 2008. In 2009, they obtained a Bachelor of Technology in ECE from Anna University (CEG). Sunny then obtained a Masters of Science in Integrated Circuit Design from Technical University of Munich & Nanyang Technological University in 2012. Finally, they obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Integrated Circuit Design, Mixed-Signal Analog to Digital Converters from Nanyang Technological University Singapore in 2018.
