Assignment
These projects typically include:
1. Perform a literature review of state-of-the-art in the technology/topic
2. Model or calculate with FEM or other simulation your design
3. Create a flow chart and fabricate your design in EKL/Kavli. OR tapeout in collaboration with another supervsor, OR assembly of your electronic design
4. Test your hardware and benchmark against your literature review.
