Research line: Circuits and system design with post-CMOS nanoelectronic device
Specific competencies: Ability to research on new materials and nanoelectronic devices with application to the design of integrated circuits. Capacity to address new problems and design challenges that arise as a result of the implementation and manufacture of circuits and systems based on nanoelectronic devices. Ability to analyze and model structures and devices based on post-CMOS technologies in order to incorporate such models to the design flow of circuits and systems. Ability to conceive and implement innovative solutions that respond to the above problems by extending the frontiers of knowledge in this research line. The ability to validate the proposed innovations in circuits and systems for industrial applications: telecommunications, biomedical, etc. Ability to transmit to the scientific and technical community the technological advances.
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
