We develop interface integrated circuits and systems that connect AI with the physical and biological world. Our work focuses on energy-efficient, high-performance, and reliable circuit design that can be deployed in real systems, from consumer electronics and AI computing to quantum and biochemical research.
Our main research areas include 1) Mixed-signal ICs for data conversion, power management, sensor systems, and compute-in-X systems, 2) energy-efficient high-speed ICs, 3) cryogenic ICs for quantum computing, and 4) custom IC platforms for interdisciplinary applications.
