Circuit Integration and Research Craft (CIRC) Laboratory
Circuit Integration and Research Craft (CIRC) Laboratory
Our research group focuses on integrated circuit (IC) design, particularly for implantable biomedical devices (IMDs). Within IMDs, we develop advanced circuits for wireless power transfer, forward/backward data telemetry, neural stimulation, neural recording, on-chip processing, energy harvesting, and ultrasound-based systems. Beyond IMDs, we are broadly interested in any application that can be realized through IC. We pursue ground-breaking ideas and concepts that redefine conventional circuit topologies and push the boundaries of the field, creating innovative technologies for both academia and industry.
CIRC Lab is led by incoming Prof. Hyun-Su Lee
Design and optimization of circuits and systems, including integrated circuits (ICs), to ensure reliable operation, signal integrity, and efficiency improvement.
Implantable medical devices (IMDs), such as cochlear implants, retinal implants, and deep brain stimulators, are designed for safe, reliable, and efficient operation.
After system design, in vivo validation was conducted to obtain recorded neural data, confirming the functionality and reliability of the proposed systems.
We challenge conventional limits in circuits and systems. By transforming groundbreaking ideas and concepts into real-world systems, we shape the technologies of tomorrow.
