The field of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) encompasses essentially anything having to do with
the design and fabrication of integrated circuits and systems consisting of a large number of electronic devices. The VLSI/Nanoelectronic Circuit Design Group at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University is primarily concerned with the design of VLSI circuits and architectures. Ongoing research projects in our lab range from the design of low-power systems-on-chips (SoC) to novel nanoelectronic circuits.

As already mentioned, our efforts cover a relatively large spectrum ranging from novel nanotechnologies for integrated circuit design to low-power multiprocessor systems-on-chips. What is common among all of our projects is the development of sound design methodologies for digital VLSI circuit design. We feel these methodologies and the circuits and systems that result are important in the future development of integrated circuits.
