The application portal for Spring and Fall 2025 is now open at ece.ucr.edu

The Intelligent Computing Architecture and Nanosystem (ICAN) Group at UC Riverside, directed by Prof. Wantong Li, is recruiting multiple fully funded Ph.D. students for Spring and Fall 2025. We explore interdisciplinary research opportunities in integrated circuits, computing hardware, heterogeneous integration, and artificial intelligence. We welcome prospective students to contact us about your interests and qualifications.

Research Directions
Memory-Centric Computing: In/near-memory computing, in/near-sensor computing, emerging memory and post-CMOS technologies

Reliable and Robust IC Design: PVT-robust circuits, fault tolerance, hardware security, cryogenic microelectronics
Heterogeneous Integrated Nanosystems: Monolithic/heterogeneous 3-D systems, chiplets and system-in-package, BEOL circuits, thermal management
SW/HW Co-Design for Embedded AI: Efficient tiny ML, AI-infused medical and autonomous systems, intelligent sensor data reduction

Qualifications
Please feel free to contact us if you have the background and interests in one or more of the following research areas. Extensive experience in at least one of these technical areas is expected.
Integrated Circuits & VLSI: Analog IC Design, Verilog RTL, Physical Design, Verilog-A/AMS Modeling, Advanced Packaging Design
Computer Architecture: In/Near-Memory Computing, Memory Systems, Simulator Development, C/C++ Programming
SW/HW Co-Design for AI: Basic DNN Theory, ML Framework (TensorFlow/PyTorch), FPGA Programming, Embedded Systems
