June 1, 2022. Prof. Tajalli will present an invited talk in the 2022 IEEE MWSCAS, entitled: “Balanced Circuit Topologies for Wireline Communications”. This lecture will provide a more generalized form of the conventional differential circuit topologies, having wide range of applications in computing and communications [Link].
May 27, 2022. Congratulations to Jacob Atkinson and Anthony Baily for having their article accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems. Entitled: “Systematic Design of Loop Circuit Topologies Using C/IDS Methodology,” an innovative approach to design and determine operating point of devices used to implement ring circuit topologies have been introduced [Link].
May 10, 2022. Congratulations to Asif Wahid and Rajath Bindiganavile for passing their PhD Research Proposal defense. Asif and Rajath are collaborating on development of a high-speed serial data transceiver based on novel signaling and modulation schemes.
April 30, 2022. Congratulations to Hayley Tankersley and Braxton Chappell to win the Outstanding Electrical Engineering Senior Project Award, 2022. Hayley and Braxton worked on Analyzing Hardware Security against Side-Channel Attacks. In their Senior Project, they developed a simulation tool to model and analyze sensitivity of digital integrated circuits to the main types of attacks.
March 15, 2022. Congratulations to Rajath Bindiganavile, Asif Wahid, and Jacob Atkinson for their paper accepted in the IEEE RFIC’2022, being held at Denver in June this year. The title of his paper is: “A 59-fs-rms 35-GHz PLL with FoM of -241 dB in 0.18-μm BiCMOS/SiGe Technology“. The main focus of this paper is on design of high-speed and low phase noise Phase Locked Loop circuits. The target application for these type of circuits is mainly in advanced Wireless 5G and Wireline communications.
September 30, 2021. LCAS team, together with two other groups at the ECE department, at the University of Utah, has received a DOE award to implement future visual-based technology system to substantially reduce the cost of cooperative driving automation. This $3.5M project will be performed in collaboration with the University of Florida [LINK]. LCAS is responsible to develop secure hardware topologies for RF communications.
April 30, 2021. Congratulations to Tina Hayward for receiving the EE Student Excellence Award (2020-2021) !
May 25, 2021. Congratulations to Rajath Bindiganavile for his paper accepted in the IEEE MWSCAS’2021, being held at the Michigan State University. The title of his paper is: “A Controllable KVCO Ring VCO Topology“. The main focus of this paper is on design of ring VCO circuits, with controllable KVCO. The target application for these type of circuits is mainly in Wireless and Wireline communications.
