Prospective Ph.D students

We often have openings for research and teaching assistantships for students interested in obtaining a Ph.D. degree with research in VLSI circuit and system design and methodology. Prior experience in electronic design (preferably including integrated circuit design) and good English skills are always plus. You can find the type of research projects we are currently engaged in on our research page. You may also want to check out our publication list to get to know more about our research topics.
