What started out as a doctoral challenge has grown, and blossomed into a technology shared across universities around Europe. As a doctoral student in Prof. David Atienza’s Embedded Systems Lab, Simone Machetti was tasked to build a modular, customizable, energy-efficient platform that could be shared with, and used by, different […]
Read MoreStriving for inaccuracy: approximate multipliers
Technology generally follows our desire to have always more accuracy. Our smartphones constantly promise more detailed images, and higher resolution video. However, in some contexts, lower resolution is better. Dr. Chang Meng of the Laboratory of Integrated Systems has a curious research goal: “My work is to introduce more harmless […]
Read MoreThe return of the analog
Since the turn of the century, we most often use the word “analog” to refer to outdated technology, like radios from the pre-digital era, or dashboards with dials and needles. However, analog is coming back with a vengeance. Nowhere is this more striking than in the field of optical computing. […]
