New perspectives on circuit design and the interactions of hardware and software will have important implications, not just for semiconductors, but the nature of computing.
Current Research:
- Novel materials, high-speed terahertz, and far infrared devices; computer assisted design (CAD) tools for mixed analog/digital integrated circuits (ICs) and wide band gap semiconductor materials and devices
- Parallel circuit simulation; parallel static timing analysis; codesign of extreme-scale systems; modeling and simulation of next-generation neuromorphic processors using spintronic devices
- Domain-specific architecture and system design for AI and Machine Learning with emphasis on near-data processing, in-network processing, and co-optimized design using approximate / low-precision computing
- Rethinking the computing system software/hardware design by distributing computing capability across CPU, memory, and storage devices, and its implication to mainstream applications (e.g., AI/ML, data analytics)
