UBC School of Engineering
Graduate Studies in Electrical Engineering
Integrated Circuits and Systems
Integrated circuits and systems research at UBC's Okanagan campus is headed by Dr. Peter Hallschmid and Dr. Thomas Johnson.
The integration of hardware and software into highly efficient and optimized structures has led to significant advancements in technology. The benefits of integration include cost, size, and performance along with challenges including optimization, test and verification, power density, and complexity. The research group at UBC’s Okanagan campus is focusing on resolving and advancing specific integration issues. Active research areas include reconfigurable systems and optimizing radio frequency circuits and systems. Many of the research projects are targeted at specific problems in communication, biological, and industrial applications.
The academic program includes advanced engineering courses in areas such as digital system design, integration technologies for wireless applications, and applied electromagnetics. Students select their courses in consultation with their research supervisor and the associate director Graduate Studies and Research. Graduate students in wireless technology typically choose from courses such as those below to complete their course requirements and to gain the necessary knowledge needed for their research.
