About Dependable Nano-Computing Laboratory (DNL)

Welcome to Dependable Nano-Computing Lab (DNL) at the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at Northeastern University, Boston, MA.

The DNL laboratory was established in 2003. The overall activity at DNL focuses on test and reliability issues in VLSI and nano systems.

The current research studies include:

• Nano-Computing

• Design and test automation, defect and fault tolerance in emerging nanotechnologies

o Crossbar array nano-architectures

o Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA)

• Dependable Computing

• Defect and Fault tolerant computing

• Soft error reliability modeling and mitigation

• Software reliability

• 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

• System Biology

• Analysis of complex molecular pathways in human disorders
