The MIT Energy-Efficient Circuits and Systems Group led by Prof. Anantha Chandrakasan is involved with the design and implementation of various integrated systems ranging from Application of ICs for Health, Hardware Security, Lower Power Edge Computing, and High Frequency Electronics. Research spans across multiple levels of abstraction ranging from innovative new process technologies and circuit styles to architectures, algorithms, and software technologies. A key focus of this group is developing energy efficient integrated solutions for Internet of Things (IOT) devices
Our Research
The sheer number and diversity of IoT devices, along with their limited resources, makes IoT security a challenge quite different from securing traditional computing systems.
Research spans across multiple levels of abstraction ranging from innovative new process technologies and circuit styles to architectures, algorithms, and software technologies.
Our group’s approach to biomedical electronics starts with developing a deep understanding of physiological or biological processes, which leads to new insights on how to develop an energy-efficient implementation of the system.
