Our research group uses several engineering design applications to drive research in simulation and optimization algorithms and software. Recent efforts have focused on the fundamentals of model-order reduction, matrix-implicit methods, and fast techniques for solving integral equations. The applications currently being examined to drive those fundamental investigations include design tools for integrated circuit interconnect, micromachined devices, aircraft, and biomolecules.
Investigations:
The modeling of the following complex systems
Blood/oil Delivery Network
Power Delivery Network for Integrated Circuit (IC) or City/State
Oil/Gas/Water Exploration
RF/Mixed Signal Circuit Blocks
Photonics Networks/Waveguides/Switches
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Heat sink for 3D IC
The group is led by Professor Jacob K. White and Professor Luca Daniel
