Welcome to the Emerging Circuits and Computation (ECC) Group

Our group consists of Mustafa Altun and his scholars & 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 electronics reliability and reversible quantum computing. In terms of teaching, we offer courses on digital/analog circuit design as well as on computational nanoelectronics.
