Managing the power consumption of circuits and systems is now considered one of the most important challenges for the semiconductor industry.

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are pre-fabricated, programmable digital integrated circuits (ICs), provide easy access to state-of-the-art integrated circuit process technology, and in doing so, democratize this technology of our time.

To derive rational and convincible solutions to practical decision making problems in complex and hierarchical human organizations, the decision making problems are formulated as relevant mathematical programming problems which are solved by developing optimization techniques so as to exploit characteristics or structural features of the formulated problems.

Embedded System Design: Modeling, Synthesis and Verification introduces a model-based approach to system level design.

Multi-Modal User Interactions in Controlled Environments investigates the capture and analysis of user's multimodal behavior (mainly eye gaze, eye fixation, eye blink and body movements) within a real controlled environment (controlled-supermarket, personal environment) in order to adapt the response of the computer/environment to the user.
