Synopsis
My research concerns digital system and digital computer design. Specifically, I am interested in concurrent error detection techniques, testing of logic and design for testability, distributed computer systems, computer architecture, error detecting/correcting codes, and applications of microprocessors.
Research on concurrent error detection techniques focuses on the concept of a monitor operating in parallel with the checked circuit. Evaluating different schemes and finding new techniques for application of codes has also been part of our work.
Testing research includes test vector generation, addition of logic to VLSI circuits for self-testing, and the design of (VLSI) computer architectures applicable to high-speed generation of test vectors.
Distributed computer systems and computer architecture work has included throughput analysis, system design, special-purpose processors, parallel processors, and VLSI-based systems.
