Dr
Graham Jullien
Advanced Technology Information Processing
Systems (ATIPS) Laboratory
iCORE has committed $800,000 per year
for the first three years, then $600,000
per year for two years, for a total of
$3.7 million dollars to establish this
Chair. This represents roughly 50 percent of
the total budget.
Biographical
Information
Dr Graham Jullien has worked in Very Large
Scale Integration (VLSI) research for
the past 15 years and has had extensive
experience in leading group research projects
for over 20 years. He is a world-class
researcher in digital signal processing
(DSP) architectures and algorithms for
high speed signal processing, and for
high performance, low power systems. He
covers an unusual breadth in that he does
novel and innovative work on architectures,
algorithms, arithmetic systems, and on
VLSI circuit implementation right down
to the transistor level design. He has
been a Senior Member of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) since 1984. Dr Jullien is also
a member of the Board of Directors of
DALSA Inc., Micronet R&D;, and was Vice-Chair
of the board of the Canadian Microelectronics
Corporation. Dr Jullien was the recipient
of two special merit awards from the NSERC
Electrical Grant Selection Committee,
and he has been a visiting scholar in
several universities around the world.
He has published more than 250 refereed
journal and conference articles in the
fields of computer arithmetic, digital
signal processing and VLSI circuits and
systems, and has co-edited a book and
written five chapters in these areas.
Dr Jullien comes from the University of
Windsor, where he was a Professor in the
Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering and Director of the university's
Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Research
Group, which he co-founded in 1985.
Research Program
The mission of the laboratory will be
to build a world-class research laboratory
in the use of advanced and emerging fabrication
technologies to targeted applications
in information processing systems. The
ATIPS laboratory will provide a knowledge
link between these technologies and the
chosen application areas in order to both
facilitate their rapid exploitation and
to uncover new linkages. We aim to be
leading users of these fabrication technologies,
and will maintain and expand our expertise
in these technologies in order to be able
to provide optimal techniques for their
use.
Research Team
In addition to the team leader, the research
team will include six other key players.
The member's areas of expertise will include
VLSI technology, MEMS and sensors, communication
applications, signal processing applications,
information security and computing systems.
Existing collaborations with the team
include DALSA Inc., Gennum Corp, the Canadian
Microelectronics Corporation and Micronet.
Partnership with other key industry players
is anticipated once the new Chair and
associated research team are established.
