Research: CV/Resume

My research focuses on pressing issues in high-performance VLSI circuit design and electronic design automation (EDA) in light of the aggressively scaled process geometries in modern MOS technologies.  My specific research interests are threefold:
     1) Low-power design and EDA
     2) Variability-aware design methodologies (i.e., Design for robustness)
     3) Interconnect modeling and analysis

For more details about the individual projects ongoing in my research group, please visit http://vlsida.eecs.umich.edu.

If you are interested in this type of research, please email me a resume and give me an idea of potential topics you may like to work on (dennis@eecs.umich.edu).
