Cornell Ultra high-speed Nonlinear Integrated Circuit lab does research on the next generations of ultra-high performance analog circuits and systems.

THE RESEARCH AREA

Our research interests include the application of the mathematical theory of wave propagation to high performance analog circuit design with an special interest in:

• Novel integrated circuit concepts and architectures for extremely wideband signals

• Scattering theory for electrical media: Optotronics

• Broadband power generation techniques

• Ultra fast computation using 2-dimensional integrated structures

•  Analog circuit design with quantum-effect nano devices

As part of this effort, we have been able to blend multiple disciplines within the fields of electrical engineering, applied physics and mathematics into a coherent research theme resulting in multiple novel circuits for various applications.

We design and implement circuits and systems in standard silicon CMOS and BiCMOS technologies; however, the techniques and concepts could be implemented in other technologies or even in other engineering fields (e.g. optics and applied mathematics).
