Rajesh Kedia

Rajesh Kedia is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. He received his Ph.D. from IIT Delhi under the supervision of Prof. M. Balakrishnan and Prof. Kolin Paul, and holds a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from MNIT Jaipur (2006).

His research focuses on computer architecture, embedded systems, and VLSI design automation, with specific emphasis on thermal management of processors and memories, shared resource management, and FPGA-based accelerator design. His recent publications address CNN execution time prediction, thermal modeling for 3D systems, and efficient resource allocation in multi-accelerator environments.

Rajesh has received multiple scientific awards including the Visvesvaraya Ph.D. fellowship, IEEE Senior Member designation, and a BEST PAPER NOMINATION at DATE 2022. He has mentored several Ph.D. and M.Tech students, including Lakshay Arora, Venugopal Ramamurthy, and M A Muneeb, with research topics spanning compilers, thermal management, and RISC-V architecture.

He actively contributes to the academic community as a reviewer for leading conferences/journals (ASPDAC, DAC, IEEE ESL, CODES+ISSS) and previously served as Design Contest co-chair for ISLPED 2024. His work has been supported by a SERB startup research grant (INR 20.26L) for shared resource management research.
