AI-Enabled RFIC Design Beyond Human Intuition - Kaushik Sengupta | Webinars for Young Excellence

Traditionally, chip-scale RF system design has been the domain of experts, dominated by thumb rules and trial-and-error techniques. Designing these ICs, which form the bedrock of wireless networks, is complex, time-consuming, requires years of expertise, and is therefore very expensive. Historically, the design process for RF ICs has relied on intuition-based approaches with standard templates that are subsequently optimized, time-consuming parameter sweeps, or ad hoc population-based metaheuristic optimization methods. There is no reason to believe that this approach is optimal in any sense. This talk will discuss how inverse design with AI-based approaches can open a new design space and enable rapid on-demand design. It will discuss deep-learning-based modeling and generative AI approaches that are transferable across process design technologies, for inverse design and automated synthesis of mmWave/sub-THz circuits and antennas. About Dr. Kaushik Sengupta: Sengupta is an IEEE Fellow and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University. He received his B.Tech/M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur (2007) and his Ph.D. from Caltech (2012). His research focuses on novel chip-scale architectures for intelligent sensing and communication. Dr. Sengupta has received numerous accolades, including the DARPA Young Faculty Award, the ONR Young Investigator Award, the Bell Labs Prize, the IEEE MTT Outstanding Young Engineer Award, and the IEEE SSCS New Frontier Award. A former Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE SSCS and MTT-S, he has also authored multiple award-winning papers, including the 2023 JSSC Best Paper of the Year.

The Society produces the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC), the most downloaded technical journal in IEEE Xplore, and sponsors the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the world’s premier circuits realization conference. The roots of the Society go back to the launch of the ISSCC in 1955 and the debut of the JSSC in 1966, an archive of major presentations from conferences that expanded into journal-length papers. Soon afterward, the leadership of the ISSC and JSSC formally became a Council comprised of all IEEE societies contributing to the field of integrated circuits. As the field grew in the 1980s, two more solid-state circuits conferences were launched—the VLSI Symposia, a sister conference with the Electron Devices Society, and the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC). In addition, the Council established a significant relationship with the European Solid-State Device Electronics Conference and the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC/ESSDERC). To gain more control over its own work, the Council became the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society in 1997. SSCS established the Asian Solid-Solid State Circuits Conference (ASSCC) in 2003 and the Solid-State Circuits Magazine in 2009. Today, SSCS is a patron member of six IEEE Councils to leverage interdisciplinary technologies. For More Information Visit: https://sscs.ieee.org/
