Muhammad Adnan received his B.E. in electrical and computer engineering from National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan. After working for a year in Center for Advanced Research in Engineering (CARE), he joined Cornell University as a MS/PhD student. In the summers of 2009, he joined Professor Afshari's group.
Muhammad is interested in the broad area of high speed integrated circuits and systems. His research has spanned from high speed nonlinear circuits to very high resolution data converters.
