Microelectronics Co-design Research Group

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Microelectronics is an indispensable driving force in every aspect of our lives, from mobile phones to satellites, household robots to autonomous vehicles, and personal healthcare to education infrastructure. After successful scaling and growth for several decades, microelectronics now demands fundamentally new innovations inspired by both physical and computational sciences. 

Welcome to the Microelectronics Co-design Research Group (MEC) at the University of Minnesota! Our research applies new understandings in computer engineering and semiconductor technology, focusing on hardware-algorithm co-design for energy-efficient computing. Through physical analysis and integrated circuit design, our goal is to advance the frontier in computing hardware, paving the path toward future intelligent systems.
