The UMS Laboratory focuses on advancing analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and system-level design for next-generation intelligent and sensing systems. Our research bridges circuits and systems, developing energy-efficient, high-performance IC solutions for sensing, signal processing, computation, and system integration. We explore a broad range of directions including sensor interfaces, neuromorphic and in-memory computing circuits, mixed-signal architectures, and low-power integrated systems. Rather than being confined to a single application domain, we aim to flexibly translate circuit-level innovations into impactful system-level implementations.
