The following represent the main research areas MARS Lab has been focusing on in recent years:
Imagine how our radars and sensors would look like in a decade or two: flexible RF electronics is the future of wearable and deployable RF systems. It turns out that to weight and form-factor reduction requires hardware miniaturization.
We are looking into single chips that drive complete flexible RF systems.
Interacting with the human body and the environment gets very interesting when trying to sense things in a small scale, or with very large arrays.
We are looking into RF interaction with the human body and environment, and into ways of doing so in a small form-factor, with a low power dissipation, and at a low cost.
Opto electronic integration makes it possible to unite high performance lasers, modulators, detectors, and CMOS electronics in compact and efficient systems that would be impossible or impractical to realize using discrete, off the shelf components. Heterogeneous or epitaxial integration of these components in a single package offers lower loss and higher bandwidth in the signal path, along with lower power consumption in a smaller footprint.
