Congratulations to Professor Massimo Alioto’s Green IC group and Associate Professor Jerald Yoo’s group for receiving two awards at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) 2023. The ISSCC is a leading indicator of research and development in the field of advanced solid-state circuits in the world, and is widely known to be the ” The Semiconductor Olympics” in integrated circuit design innovation both in academia and semiconductor industry.
Professor Massimo Alioto’s Green IC group, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the Takuo Sugano Award for Outstanding Far-East Paper at the ISSCC 2023. The group received the honour for the paper “Side-Channel Attack Counteraction via Machine Learning-Targeted Power Compensation for Post- Silicon HW Security Patching”. The group has made a breakthrough in hardware security technology with sponsorship on their national-level “SOCure” project from National Research Foundation and Cyber Security Agency of Singapore.
The ISSCC Takuo Sugano Award was established to recognize outstanding achievements in the development of semiconductor technology. This is the first time a Singaporean institution receives a best paper award from ISSCC.
Associate Professor Jerald Yoo’s group, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the ISSCC 2023 Demo Award. The paper title is “BatDrone: A 9.83M-focal-points/s 7.76µs-Latency Ultrasound Imaging System with On-Chip Per-Voxel RX Beamfocusing for 7m-Range Drone Applications.” The paper makes ground-breaking discovery of adopting ultrasound for all-weather high-frame rate (>24 frames-per-second) 3D depth sensing and imaging, targeted for drone navigation.
The ISSCC2023 Demo Award is awarded to two top papers that was presented at ISSCC2022 as well as in Demo Session. Prof. Yoo’s group also won the same award in ISSCC2021.
