October 5, 2020. LCAS receives NSF Award to develop IoT devices for modern monitoring systems in order to enhance safety in large industrial workshops. Prof. Abbas Rashidi (Civil Engineering, PI) and Prof. Armin Tajalli (co-PI) will collaborate on this NSF-PFI project [Link].
October 5, 2020. Asif Wahid presented his paper entitled: “A digitally-assisted peak detector for periodic signal” in IEEE MWSCAS 2020, in Springfield, MA, USA. Congratulations to Asif Wahid !
October 5, 2020. Three papers from our group will be presented in IFIP/IEEE VLSI-SoC 2020, in Salt Lake City, Utah. These articles are based on collaboration with other groups at the University of Utah, namely, Professor Massood Tabib-Azar (bio-interface circuits) and Professor Behrouz Farhang-Boroujeni (MCMC MIMO detector). Congratulations to the team !
March 20, 2020. In an interview with Semiconductor Engineering website, Armin Tajalli explained his point of view on Low Power Analog Design [Link].
March 19, 2020. Ethan Melvick has been interested in security since he was 12 years old. Now a sophomore in computer engineering at the U, Melvick is part of a lab developing programs that will protect engineer’s systems against cyber-attacks.
Melvick and professor Armin Tajalli’s work targets a specific type of side-channel attacks called “power analysis.” These attacks track the current consumption of a circuit and eventually discover the secret key used in encryption. This is a very common technique that hackers use to easily and quickly decrypt data [Link].
April 4, 2019. Eiger Peak is a team of electrical engineering undergraduate seniors working to create a phase-lock loop for their senior project. The team is composed of seven members – Nicholas Bybee, Stuart Anderson, Jacob Atkinson, Reuben Morrell, Anthony Bailey, Mitch Crane and Anton Arriaga, all working under the supervision of professor Armin Tajalli [Link][Link].
March 25, 2020. Prof. Tajalli will present a short-course in Santa Cruz on: “Wireline SerDes Design,” as part of the Mead Courses (www.mead.ch).
June 18, 2019. Our IEEE SSCS (Switzerland Chapter at ETHZ) has been highlighted in the latest IEEE Solid-State Magazine (LINK). This talk was about the latest advancements in the field of wireline communications.
