Professor Sudhakar Pamarti's Signal Processing & Circuit Engineering (SPACE) research group works on the co-design of mixed signal circuit design and digital signal processing to achieve high-performance, efficient and resilient hardware. We are interested in a wide variety of high-impact applications from RF transceivers to edge node machine learning. Some of our latest research projects include programmable RF receivers using Filtering by Aliasing, stochastic computing machine learning accelerators, Voltage-Controller MRAM, fast start-up oscillators and high performance frequency synthesizers.

Opportunities: We have one or two Ph.D. and several M.S. research position openings each year.
