Welcome to the Emerging Circuits and Computation (ECC) Group

Our group consists of Mustafa Altun and his students in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. In terms of research, we focus on circuit design and computing models for emerging nanoscale technologies, namely computational nanoelectronics. We also have a special interest in mathematical combinatorics and analog circuit design. In terms of teaching, we offer courses spanning from digital/analog circuit design to computational nanoelectronics.

Group news and activities Jan. 2014 Our project on circuit design and reliability for switching nano arrays received a grant from the TÜBİTAK Career Program (3501). For open positions in this project click here. Jan. 2014 Our project on logic synthesis for switching nano arrays is supported by the TÜBİTAK Undergraduate Students Research Projects Support Program (2209/A). Oct. 2013 Our project on reliability of appliance electronic cards received a grant from the TÜBİTAK University-Industry Collaboration Grant Program (1505). The project is cooperated with Arçelik A.Ş.. Oct. 2013 Our project on gate oxide breakdown failure mechanism of CMOS transistors is supported by the TÜBİTAK Industry Oriented Senior Project Support Program (2241/A). Sept. 2013 We presented our work "Computation with Regular Arrays of Nano Switches" in ICCMNM 2013. May 2013 We offer a new graduate course: Computational Nanoelectronics. Jan. 2013 We have weekly group meetings with catchy presentations; you are welcome to join! Jan. 2013 Our group is growing fast; now we have two sub-groups studying on the areas of computational nanoelectronics and electronics reliability.
