Revision as of 10:23, 4 June 2021

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.

PREVIOUS NEWS:

Our progress by the numbers, 2013-2020

Founded in 2013, our group has made many achievements including:

  • Nearly $1.075.000 was received to be spent for our group. $400.000 came from an international EU H2020 project; $100.000 came from an international TUBITAK-NSF project; and $500.000 came from six different national TUBITAK projects. We are the principal investigator (PI) of all these 8 projects. Additionally, $50.000 came directly from our industry partners and $25.000 came from university-internal sources.
  • 61 peer-reviewed papers were published/accepted in leading journals and conferences. 36 of them are solely made in ECC -- all authors are from our group; 10 of them are coauthored by our collaborators from industry; and 21 of them are coauthored by our collaborators from academia.
  • 3 patents were granted. Two of them are US patents and one of them is a TR patent.
  • 10 Masters students graduated from our group; 6 Doctoral students are expected to graduate by 2023; and 2 Posdoctoral researchers joined us.
