My group focuses on power management IC design and system level optimization. You
will access to research projects on analog/ digital VLSI design, device/circuit/system co-
design and optimization, and energy harvesting embedded systems. We will design,
layout, tapeout and measure our VLSI chips in lab, and present our results in
international top conferences. In addition to VLSI design, we also explore system-level
optimization of electronic systems through device/circuit/system level cross-layer co-
design and optimization. My research has strong connections to industry. Ph.D.
graduates in the research topics are popular and highly demanded/highly paid in the US
job market. Recent Ph.D. graduates of VLSI areas at ECE department of SIU got jobs in
