Biography
Robert Peruzzi – Bio Robert Peruzzi is a Licensed Professional Electrical Engineer (PE) and Expert Witness. Robert moved to Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley in 1990 to work as an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) test developer for AT&T Bell Labs, where he took advantage of their tuition assistance plan and earned his Ph. D. in 2005 after what seemed like an eternity of part time study. He stayed on as that company evolved through Lucent, Agere, LSI and Infineon. As opportunities arose, he crossed between departments and product lines, working in analog and mixed signal design for hard disk drive and mobile phone electronics. He has been an independent consultant since Infineon’s late 2008 layoffs, and has expanded his practice from design and verification to include forensic and expert witness practice. Robert served as Chair of IEEE Philadelphia CONET and serves on the board of IEEE Consultants Committee.

Additional Specialties
Experienced Forensic Engineer and Expert Witness. In my technical consulting practice, I create behavioral models using System Verilog (SV) with Real Number Modeling (RNM) for UVM Design Verification (DV), and with Verilog (-AMS) or VHDL (-AMS). I use Cadence or Mentor Graphics schematic and simulation tools, including Virtuoso, AMS-Designer, Spectre, ADMS. These CAD tools run in the Unix or Linux platforms. From time to time I write programs in C, or Perl, or Make. For certain assignments I also use Matlab tools including Simulink and HDL-Coder.
