The Intelligent Computing Architecture and Nanosystem (ICAN)Group at UC Riverside is recruiting multiple fully funded Ph.D. students forSpring and Fall 2025. We explore interdisciplinary research opportunities inintegrated circuits, computing hardware, heterogeneous integration, andartificial intelligence. We welcome prospective students to contact us about yourinterests and qualifications. Research Directions
- Memory-Centric Computing: In/near-memory computing, in/near-sensor computing, emergingmemory and post-CMOS technologies
- Reliable and Robust IC Design: PVT-robust circuits, fault tolerance, hardware security,cryogenic microelectronics
- Heterogeneous Integrated Nanosystems: Monolithic/heterogeneous 3-D systems, chiplets andsystem-in-package, BEOL circuits, thermal management
- SW/HW Co-Design for Embedded AI: Efficient tiny ML, AI-infused medical and autonomoussystems, intelligent sensor data reduction
Qualifications Please feel free to contact us if you have the backgroundand interests in one or more of the following research areas. Extensiveexperience in at least one of these technical areas is expected.
- Integrated Circuits & VLSI: Analog IC Design, Verilog RTL, Physical Design,Verilog-A/AMS Modeling, Advanced Packaging Design
- Computer Architecture: In/Near-Memory Computing, Memory Systems, SimulatorDevelopment, C/C++ Programming
- SW/HW Co-Design for AI: Basic DNN Theory, ML Framework (TensorFlow/PyTorch), FPGAProgramming, Embedded Systems
