What Is the Integrated Circuits Center Of Excellence?

The Integrated Circuits Center of Excellence is founded on an idea of collaborative multi-disciplinary research by students and faculties of Jadavpur University, which is housed in the Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Department at Prayukti Bhavan. The objective of the COE is to train students to produce job and higher studies ready skill sets and hands-on training in collaboration with leading industry partners, global academic institutions and research labs. Building new labs and upgrading existing infrastructure with new equipments, new software and new hardware capabilities is one of the primary objectives to create a framework for state-of-the-art learning and research. Staring with the second year undergraduate students to PhD scholars, the IC COE aims to facilitate activities in the areas of Integrated Circuits design, VLSI CAD tool development, IoT system design, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (data science) applications research and Analog and RF circuits design.
