Keshab K. Parhi (born 1959 in Bhadrak District, Odisha, India) is an electrical engineer and computer scientist.
He is currently the Erwin A. Kelen Chair in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
In particular, he developed algorithm transformations techniques[4] such as unfolding[5] and folding[6] for DSP programs described by iterative data-flow graphs.
[22][23] These technologies are found in numerous integrated circuit chips for physical-layer communications in wired and wireless media that form the backbone of the internet.
[29] His research group also developed the Hierarchical Energy Analysis Tool (HEAT) to estimate power consumption with circuit-simulation-level accuracy from logic-level simulation.
