Founded in 2013, our group has made many achievements including:
 +
 
 +
* Nearly <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $1.075.000</span> was received to be spent for our group. <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $400.000</span> came from an international '''EU H2020''' project; <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $100.000</span> came from an international '''TUBITAK-NSF''' project; and <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $500.000</span> came from six different national '''TUBITAK''' projects. We are the principal investigator ('''PI''') of all these <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 8</span> projects. Additionally, <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $50.000</span> came directly from our  '''industry''' partners and <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> $25.000</span> came from  '''university-internal''' sources.
 +
* <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 61</span>  peer-reviewed '''papers''' were published/accepted in leading journals and conferences. <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 36</span> of them are solely '''made in ECC''' -- all authors are from our group; <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 10</span> of them are coauthored by our collaborators from '''industry'''; and <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 21</span> of them are coauthored by our collaborators from '''academia'''.
 +
 
 +
* <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 3</span> '''patents''' were granted. Two of them are '''US''' patents and one of them is a '''TR''' patent.
 +
 
 +
* <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 10</span> '''Masters''' students graduated from our group; <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 6</span> '''Doctoral''' students are expected to graduate by 2023; and <span style="background:#F5F5F5; font-size: 125%; border:2px solid #B22222;"> 2</span> '''Posdoctoral''' researchers joined us.

Welcome to the Emerging Circuits and Computation (ECC) Group

Our group, comprised of Mustafa Altun and his scholars & students, is in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. In terms of research, we aim to develop new computing paradigms as well as circuit design and electronic design automation (EDA) techniques especially for future and emerging technologies. We also have a special interest in electronics reliability in both circuit and system levels. In terms of teaching, we offer courses on digital/analog circuit design as well as on computational nanoelectronics.
