Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Ellicott is a research scholar and PhD candidate in electrical and electronics engineering at The Ohio State University with a decade of experience focused on hardware security, analog/mixed-signal circuit design, and trustworthy wireless transceivers for IoT. He combines hands-on research roles at Semiconductor Research Corporation and OSU’s CLASS lab with industry experience—most recently at Analog Devices—where he supported NIST 800-90B qualification efforts for a True Random Number Generator. Comfortable bridging academia and practice, he contributes to open-source projects like the well-known colorchord sound-to-light system, handling cross-platform build tooling and core application updates. Samuel’s background in computer engineering and strong GPA evidence an ability to marry software tooling with analog hardware problems, and he often brings standards-driven thinking and stochastic modeling into practical design validation.
