Our work covers circuit/system design in three general areas of 1) mm-Wave and THz, 2) Biomedical, and 3) Ultra-Low Power Electronic sensors.
In the high-frequency domain we design systems that handle information flow. On one end this focuses on the development of sensors and devices that enable next-generation interfaces (e.g., radar system design for human-computer interfaces). On the other end we work one next-generation extremely high-throughput wireless and wireline “pipelines” that facilitate information flow on the network.
On the biomedical front we explore system design for emerging and hybrid medical imaging modalities, apply advanced electrical/electromagnetic interface solutions to bio-sensing applications, and investigate new technologies for wireless implants.
In the sensors area we focus on architectural solutions that enable radically-miniaturized sensors. Other topics include power delivery, energy storage, ultra-low power circuit design, asymmetric communication systems, and antenna interfaces.
Example topics include:
1) High-Frequency Circuits and Systems: - Terahertz generation/detection and high-frequency systems. - Wideband systems. - Phased-array systems and architectures. Array imagers. - Low-power electronics for sensor applications. - High-throughput communication systems. - Optoelectronics.
2) Bio-Medical Applications: - Microwave/millimeter-wave imaging. - Physics of medical imaging. Multi-modality imaging techniques. - Biomedical sensors and actuators.
3) Sensors and Electromagnetic Interfaces: - Integrated antennas. Co-design of antennas and electronics. Antentronics. - Remote sensing, power delivery and RFIDs. - Medical Implants
