Matt Francis
Candidate for B.S in Electrical Engineering.
Biography:
Senior, Electrical Engineering/Physics
Origin: Jenks, OK
Expected Graduation: Summer 2003

Pursuing BS in Electrical Engineering (May 2003), BS in Physics (August
2003)
Areas of Interest: CAD, Digital Design, Software, Pervasive Computing
Project Group: PARAGON modeling Tools
Working on: Paragon Digital Enhancements

Matt has been attending the University of Arkansas since 1998 after graduating from Jenks HS in Tulsa, OK. He is currently studying Electrical Engineering and Physics, hopefully completing both degrees by Summer 2003. He recently completed a 7-month co-op with Hewlett-Packard's Richardson VLSI Lab in Richardson, TX, where he participated in the functional verification of a coherency controller for HP's high-end UNIX based systems. This chip will be one of the largest custom ASICs in the world. Matt has worked in the MSCAD lab since 2000, participating in the development of Model Architect, among other activities. In his spare time, Matt plays snare on the Drumline in the Marching Razorback Band, plays percussion in the University's concert bands, plays with Linux/BSD and UNIX based systems, dabbles in photography, and works on his rapidly aging cars.

Chandrasekhar
Origin:
India
Candidate for M.S. in Electrical Engineering
Education: B.E in Electronics and Communications
Project Group: PARAGON modeling TOOLS

Areas of Interest: Inerested in Behavioral modeling usint HDLs like
VHDL-AMS, MAST and Verilog -A. Other areas of inerest include
Basic principles and algorithms used for simulators and analysis of
Analog and Logic circuits.

Chandu joined MSCAD lab in August 2002. His work started with testing the code generator for Paragon 1.0, and writing multi discipline, mixed technology models to the Paragon model library. He is presently working in the development team of Paragon and works on Automatic Code generation of VHDL-AMS, MAST and VTB models for Paragon 1.1 version release. Database maitainance, testing and creating new models are his other contributions to Paragon.

Circuit Design Group
 

Tiejun Cao
Candidate for Ph.D Electrical Engineering
Origin: China

Tiejun's project is ¡° Rad-Hard, High-Voltage Bias circuitry for a MEMS Microgyroscope for Micronavigation Systems ¡± (A project of Jet Propulsion Laboratory). The chip to be designed will consist of a power management and distribution (PMAD) section, a high voltage gyro bias section, a very low noise sigma delta signal sense and processing section and a digital core. The PMAD section I¡¯m working on will include a capacitive DC-DC converter that will take the 3.3V power supply as input and produce a fixed 60V output voltage. It will utilize low current, SOI CMOS-compatible, high voltage transistors, and get its high voltage from the on chip DC-DC converter of the PMAD circuit.

Currently he is working on the design of PGA for wide temperature applications.
