Ph.D./Post-doc position in optical computing
Your mission: Silicon photonics has advanced by lightyears during the past few years, and finally, we have a reliable technology platform (e.g., GF, IMEC) being offered to researchers to try out different circuit design ideas. Light is already a great medium for extremely low-energy computation at extreme speeds. And as the technology progresses, the (…)
Ph.D. Position in in-memory computing
Your mission: In-memory computing is a particularly interesting area for mixed-signal circuit designers as it is where analog meets digital almost in a literal sense. Many and many in-memory computing demonstrations have come out in the past several years – at a record pace reflecting on my past 15+ years of observation. We all (…)
Ph.D. / Post-Doc Position – Ultra-low-power image sensor
Your mission: The goal of the mm-scale nano-watt sensor system is to penetrate spaces where the previous generation of sensors (current day’s IoT devices) could not enter. As our continuing endeavor, we are now looking into putting sensors into a textile fabric! In this project, we will create an extremely small and low-power image (…)
Post-Doc Position: High-Voltage Generation
Your mission: Small (mm-size) low-power systems rely on harvested energy to survive. However, in realistic scenarios, this availability of power cannot be naturally guaranteed. For these devices to live with limited energy, some groups research heavily on lowering the leakage power of the system to elongate the survival time. (Our MSIC Lab also does this.) (…)
Ph.D. Position – compact ADC
Your mission: ADC research in the current decade has largely been stagnant as ADC architectures on all fronts are simply converging to a capacitor-array-based SAR ADC. Of course, there is a lot of work to do in this direction, but we, at MSIC Lab, are envisioning something grander and different: we will focus on the (…)
