For More Information

Education

  • Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, University of Minnesota, June 1993

Teaching Statement

I teach courses in digital and analog integrated circuit design, digital signal processing, probability with engineering applications, VLSI architectures and algorithms for machine learning, communications and signal processing.

Research Statement

My research investigates the design of energy-efficient machine learning and communication systems in scaled silicon and beyond CMOS technologies. Our work innovates across systems, algorithms, architectures and integrated circuits.

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 machine learning implementations.

Research Interests

  • deep in-memory architectures and integrated circuits for inference at the Edge
  • machine learning algorithms and architectures for resource-constrained compute platforms
  • energy and latency-efficient integrated circuits for machine learning, communications, and signal processing
