Project Description

Advances in information and communication technologies, combined with those in wireless communications and sensor networks, have given rise to the idea of Internet of Things. Complex systems, accentuated  by the availability of large numbers of nano-scale transistors, pose challenges for their design at both transistor, circuit and system level. Mastering complex system design in the nano device era and applying it to a circuit technology platform to support  health related sensor networks and loT, form the dual objectives of PlaCiTUS.
