Engineering | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 29

Doctoral Studentship in Circuit Design, Lund University, Sweden

The focus of the research project is on ultra-low power digital circuit design. During the course of the project power optimization techniques from architectural down to transistor level will be investigated for their suitability and efficiency, if the circuit is operated under a scaled supply voltage. Furthermore, clocking strategies like globally asynchronous and locally synchronous (GALS) will be investigated. The PhD student will participate in an Industrial Excellence Center supported by VINNOVA and industrial partners entitled “System Design on Silicon” ,www.eit.lth.se/sos. The position is full-time, which includes 15% department work, mainly teaching.
Eligibility/Entry Requirements
Master of Science in in Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, physics or equivalent. The position is intended to be filled for a doctoral education in circuit design.
