Principal Investigator
Dr. Nisha Checka
At GoofyFoot Labs, Dr. Nisha Checka has led programs to advance microelectronic operation in extreme environments at advanced technology nodes, including the development of self-healing circuit architectures and 3-D integration.
Prior to founding GoofyFoot Labs, Dr. Checka was as a member of the research staff at MIT Lincoln Lab, where she worked on the design and fabrication of 2-D and 3-D FPGAs and the development of 3-D rad hard, self-healing architectures. In addition, she investigated ultra-low power circuit design methodologies and developed an FDSOI CMOS technology optimized for energy-starved applications.
