Specialization profile--Digital Systems
This profile covers theory and design methodologies of digital circuits and systems, with application areas in wireless communication, biomedical imaging based on single-photon technology, quantum computing, 3D IC design. Current areas of interest are (1) spiking neural networks and neuromorphic hardware, (2) high-level electronic (VLSI) system level design (power optimization and reduction techniques, SoC design methodology, communication architectures and protocols), and (3) physical modeling and verification of large VLSI circuits (parasitics and temperature modeling).
