About me

Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Tobias Kaiser, and I am a research assistant and doctoral student at the Mixed Signal Circuit Design group of TU Berlin, where I am working on digital circuits and chip designs.

This is my personal website, where I share some of my thoughts and ideas and take notes of personal projects that I have worked on, in the hope that they might help me or someone else.
