Microelectronics Research Topics

Research Projects include

• Field-Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGA)-based systems
• Design for Test
• IC Failure Analysis
• Reconfigurable computing using FPGAs.
• Design of synthesizable Intellectual Property cores and other hardware modules.

High level languages such as Verilog HDL, VHDL, System Verilog and System C are used for design and testing of hardware circuits. FPGA are used extensively by researchers. For new researchers looking for topics, click here for details.
