Research Statement

Murmann's research is concerned with mixed-signal integrated circuit design, including system and device level modeling. A recurring theme in most projects is the attempt to capitalize on the immense digital signal processing capabilities of modern integrated circuit technologies. The vision of Murmann's group is to create a new class of “digitally assisted” data converters and sensor front-ends that are based on minimalistic, low complexity analog blocks that leverage digital processing for performance enhancement. Murmann's work spans various applications from communication systems to bio-medical instrumentation and sensing, and incorporates technologies including fine-line CMOS, MEMS, and organic thin-film devices.
