Research line: High performance CMOS VLSI digital design
Specific competencies: Ability to investigate aspects of interest in digital CMOS VLSI circuits of last generation. Ability to design and develop circuits and digital systems in nanometer technologies. Ability to conceive and implement innovative solutions that suppose advance in the field of digital integrated circuits, expanding the frontiers of knowledge in this research line. Ability to apply the proposed innovations in circuits and systems for industrial applications. Ability to transmit to the scientific and technical community technological progress.
Training activities: the basic training activity is the continuous interaction between the student and its director or directors, completed in the writing and defense of the doctoral thesis. Also, regular meetings are held for students and teachers of the research line for the delivery of seminars by teachers and the presentation and discussion of student work. The training is complemented with the assistance, as a lecturer and as a listener, to international congresses related to the research line, as well as conferences and courses given by renowned researchers within the framework of the doctoral program.
Coordination activities: regular meetings of the teaching staff of the research line to organize research activity of the students working in this research line, as well as to monitor the individual evolution.They will also establish and updated the objectives of the research line.
Evaluation and rating systems: evaluation and rating will be made through the public defense of the Doctoral Thesis in accordance with current regulations of the University of Seville
