Prof. Chan Carusone will be making an invited presentation on highly integrated CMOS optical transceivers at the Frontiers of Information Science and Technology Workshop in Shanghai, China, December 10-12, 2012.
Kentaro Yamamoto won the Best Student Paper Award for his work, “A 1-1-1-1 MASH Delta-Sigma Modulator Using Dynamic Comparator-Based OTAs,” co-authored with Tony Chan Carusone at the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference, San Jose, California, September 2011. [PDF Format] Dr. Yamamoto received the award at the 2012 conference.
Prof. Chan Carusone sat on a panel of industry leaders at the 2012 Custom Integrated Circuit Conference in San Jose, California on the topic “Will Photonics Dominate Electrical Backplane Transceivers in Five Years?”.
Prof. Chan Carusone was highlighted in the online magazine Technophilic for his research on optical communication. See the article here.
Prof. Chan Carusone was a panelist at the ITAC Best Practices Forum on “Restoring Microelectronics to a Tier 1 Industry in Canada… Obstacles and Opportunities”, April 10, 2012 in Toronto.
As a member of the technical program committee, Prof. Chan Carusone co-organized a forum on “10-40 Gb/s I/O Design for Data Communications” at the 2012 International Solid-State Circuits conference. The event was attended by over 150 industry experts and covered topics ranging from extreme equalization and loss compensation to optical signaling.
The Best Invited Paper Award for the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference was awarded to Prof. Chan Carusone in San Jose, California on Sept. 26th. The paper titled “Progress and Trends in Multi-Gbps Optical Receivers with CMOS Integrated Photodetectors,” was co-authored by Prof. Chan Carusone and ISL researchers Hemesh Yasotharan and Tony Kao.
Prof. Chan Carusone delivered his lecture “on Multi-Gbps Optical Receivers with CMOS Integrated Photodetectors” at the Department of Electrical Engineering at USC on the afternoon of October 21st.
An ISL research paper titled “7.4 Gb/s 6.8 mW Source Synchronous Receiver in 65 nm CMOS,” appeared in the June issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits immediately becoming one of its most downloaded papers. JSSC is the premiere publication in the field of integrated circuits, and the publication cited most often in U.S. patents.
