With the ever-increasing connectivity and proliferation of highly integrated devices in a widely heterogenous range of applications, the demands for the designers and developers of these cutting-edge technologies grow ever more stringent. In turn, the simulation tools at the center of the design process need to keep up with the break-neck speed of communication technology progress. Therefore, we strive to improve the techniques and algorithms underlying these instruments, focusing on accuracy, efficiency, and versatility to push the boundary in terms of applicability.
Embedded within the connectivity pillars, we develop state-of-the-art computational electromagnetic (EM) techniques founded on frequency- and time-domain boundary integral equations and finite element methods to characterize multiscale and miniaturized electronic systems, to design cutting-edge antenna systems, and to assess electromagnetic compatibility, signal and power integrity of crucial links in complex circuits.
Moreover, to keep up with Moore’s law, nanoelectronic and quantum devices are rapidly gaining importance, necessitating the integration of hybrid quantum mechanical (QM) and EM simulations in the design cycle. Our expertise extends into the field of multiphysics (QM/EM) modelling, where we focus on ab initio time-domain and quantum transport techniques to elucidate the underlying physics and functionality of these highly miniaturized devices and systems.
Since modern electronic systems are produced with increasing complexity and decreasing margins for manufacturing deviations, our novel algorithms are enhanced with efficient uncertainty quantification approaches to provide statistical yield information to designers and users.
