About Hossein Fariborzi Hossein Fariborzi Adjunct Professor (former), Electrical and Computer Engineering integrated circuits ICS MEMS NEMS Hussain Fariborzi is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Principal Investigator of the Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS) Research Group. Fariborizi addresses problems in ultra-low power Integrated Circuits and Systems, MEMS/NEMS IC design and fabrication, as well as novel switching devices for next-generation ICs. Education and early career Fariborzi holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 2013. He worked at Intel, then was an RF Design Engineer at Nokia and joined Oracle/Sun Microsystems Labs. Areas of Events Presented Events May 2 - May 8, 2021 Advances in Microelectromechanical Digital Circuit Design: Low Power Computation, Sensing and Beyond Hossein Fariborzi, Adjunct Professor (former), Electrical and Computer Engineering May 2, 12:00 - 13:00 KAUST Microelectromechanical Digital Circuit design Low Power computation Sensing Electromechanical switches were the core elements of the very first digital computers in early 20th century. While these switches were later replaced by the smaller, faster and more reliable "transistor" technology, they found a new life following the development of nanofabrication tools and Micro-electromechannical Systems (MEMS). In this seminar we will explore the most recent advances in the field of MEMS-based digital circuit and sensor design. We also examine the application of MEMS switches and resonators in building the most important blocks of a digital system, namely adders, multipliers, data converters, sequential and combinational complex logic, and discuss the future of this technology in the beyond-CMOS era.
