Northeastern University
Broadly, I am interested in test, reliability, and
design automation of digital systems. In particular, my current research
directions are as follows:
- Design and test automation, defect and fault
tolerance in emerging nanotechnologies
1. Crossbar array nano-architectures
2.
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA)
- Robust
Computing
- Defect and Fault tolerant computing
- Soft error reliability modeling and
mitigation
- Testing aspects of computer systems, test
generation algorithms and design for testability
- Reconfigurable computing
- Modeling,
estimation and tolerance of noise in mixed-signal SoCs
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of VLSI
Publications:
- Unified list of publications
- Link to some of my papers and presentations on FPGA Testing at Stanford CRC.
