Ph.D. Electrical Engineering University of Minnesota June 1993
Research Statement:
My research investigates efficient integrated circuit (IC) implementations of signal processing and communication systems for current and next generation standards. I seek to innovate at the algorithmic, VLSI architectural and circuit levels in order to minimize power and maximize performance while maintaining reliable operation. I am also developing communications-inspired techniques to design robust and energy-efficient ICs in nanometer process technologies. The latter exhibit statistical behavior thereby presenting a formidable challenge to the continuation of Moore's Law.
Teaching Statement:
My teaching interests are in the areas of integrated circuit design, VLSI architectures and algorithms for communications and signal processing.
Research Interests:
- robust and low-power IC design
- communications-inspired IC design
- algorithms, VLSI architectures and integrated circuits for DSP and communications
Undergraduate Research Opportunities:
Research opportunities exist for the creative, enthusiastic and hardworking undergraduate in the areas of integrated circuit design, VLSI architectures for DSP and communications, and applied signal processing and communication system design.
