Analog and Mixed Signal Design

The analog and mixed signal design group lead by Prof. Qiuting Huang specializes in the analysis, design and optimization of state-of-the-art integrated circuits for a broad range of applications such as wireless and wireline communications, high speed computing, sensor interfaces and smart power.

IC and Systems, Design and Test
Physical Characterization
Bio Electromagnetics

These research groups center around design and test of complex, testable ASICs for system applications, development of numerical and physical characterization of semiconductor structures, and furthermore analysis and simulations of bio-electromagnetic systems.

Nano Electronics and Nano Photonics

The Laboratory for Nanoelectronics lead by Prof. Vanessa Wood investigates the potential of nanostructured materials in electronic devices at each point in the energy life-cycle - collection, storage, and usage. Using a combination of experiment and theory, we study the fundamental electronic properties of nanostructured materials and apply our findings to the rational design of devices that harness the novel form factors and properties provided by nanomaterials. We focus on the design and fabrication of nanostructured systems for solid state devices including solar cells, batteries, and efficient LEDs. Guided by insights from proof-of-concept devices, we also investigate methods for commercial production of the devices, with particular focus on the development of novel techniques for industrial-scale materials growth and deposition.

Nano-TCAD

The Nano-TCAD group lead by Prof. Mathieu Luisier and Prof. Andreas Schenk develops and applies numerical algorithms to investigate nanodevices ranging from next generation transistors to thermoelectric generators and optoelectronic devices. Novel simulation approaches based on quantum mechanics are employed to accurately model today nanostructures and predict their behavior before fabrication.
