Our Research
We conduct research in CMOS Circuits and Sensors for Intelligent systems as well as application of Machine learning in diverse domains.
At one hand, we develop new CMOS image sensors as well as data converters. In parallel, we also explore micro/nano systems, particularly large number of systems in a chip.
Our area specific pages list our activities as well as principal publications in each.
