通信学会@東北大に参加してきました！

仙台といえば牛タン！ということで食文化を研究したり

松島で自然を観察したり

キリンの工場でビールの作り方を勉強したりしました。

発表日は豪雨で電車・バスが止まっており、駅から40分ほど歩く羽目に…。

学会終了後に伊達政宗と記念撮影。

以上です！

Tokyo Institute of TechnologyInternational Graduate Program (A) (IGP-A) Admission Date: September 23, 2016Types of Programs: Integrated Doctoral Education Program (Master+Doctor, 5 years)Application Period: August 3, 2015 - November 30, 2015http://www.titech.ac.jp/english/graduate_school/international/graduate_program_a/index.htmlhttp://www.titech.ac.jp/english/graduate_school/international/graduate_program_a/program1.htmlhttp://www.titech.ac.jp/english/graduate_school/international/graduate_program_a/pdf/list1_2016a.pdf Sustainable Engineering Program -> Information and Communication Technology Course -> Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering A limited number of students with outstanding academic records are eligible to apply for a scholarship from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (“MEXT”) with a recommendation from Tokyo Tech.Preliminary application
A preliminary application is required. Please see here.===================== FAQ =====================* Q1. Is it possible to finish only master course in 2 years? * A1. No. This program is only for the 5-year master and doctor integrated course. The total period depends on the research progress, so it sometimes becomes shorter or longer.* Q2. Is Japanese language skill required? * A2. No. You have no need to speak Japanese for your study. However, I would recommend to study Japanese for enjoying you daliy life in Japan.* Q3. English scope? * A3. Your English score such as TOEFL-iBT, TOEFL-PBT, TOEIC, IELTS is required, which has to be issued within 2 years as of admission (December). There is no bottom line in the English score for your admission, but you have to be qualified for your graduation. See this for details.* Q4. Entrance examination? * A4. Mathematics, Electrical Circuits, Electromagnetism. See this (past exam, not for this time).===================== research projects =====================

Chenさんが，京都で開催中のVLSI Circuitsで発表しました。

A 9.35-ENOB, 14.8 fJ/Conv.-Step Fully-Passive Noise-Shaping SAR ADC, Z. Chen, M. Miyahara and A. Matsuzawa, Tokyo Institute of Technology, JapanThis paper presents an opamp-free solution to implement noise shaping in a successive approximation register analog-to-digital convertor. The comparator noise, incomplete settling error of digital-to-analog convertor and mismatch are alleviated. Designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology, the prototype realizes 58 dB SNDR at 50 MS/s sampling frequency. It consumes 120.7 μW from a 0.8 V supply and achieves a FoM of 14.8 fJ per conversion step.

Title: From `DC to Daylight’: Reunifying the Electro-magnetic Spectrum in       Silicon and the Opportunities it Opens up Speaker: Prof. Kaushik Sengupta, Princeton University Date: 6/16(Tue) 14:30-15:30Place: 東京工業大学大岡山キャンパスAbstract:After Maxwell reunified the Electro-magnetic spectrum in the 1850s,the spectrum broke on frequency lines into separate, specialized andmature disciplines of study. Almost a century and half later, we see areunification of electromagnetism in one single platform, opening upopportunities to create cutting-edge technology for thenext-generation systems. Having the ability to synthesize, control andmanipulate such a large portion of the spectrum (DC-THz) with abillion transistors in a single platform, silicon, opens up a plethoraof opportunities spanning a wide range of applications in sensing,imaging, spectroscopy, medical diagnostics, communication and beyond.Such unprecedented levels of integration can be leveraged only weremove the artificial partitions among various levels of abstractionin system design such as analog, digital, electromagnetics, antenna,communication and control theory and take a holistic approach.  In this talk, I will show some practical examples how such an approachenables us to go beyond transistor speed limits into the terahertzfrequency range (0.3-3 THz), demonstrating the first CMOS THzbeam-scanning array, an all-silicon active terahertz imaging systemand generation and radiation of pico-second pulses capable of dynamicspectral shaping. The intersection of analog, digital and RF createsnew opportunities for novel and robust system design and, we willdiscuss a fully integrated, closed loop and autonomous self-healingmm-wave power amplifier capable mitigating process variations, loadmismatches and unintentional failures. If time permits, we willdiscuss how manipulating optical fields in silicon can lead tomultiplexed sensor arrays in CMOS for bio-molecular diagnostics.

Bio: Kaushik Sengupta received the B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees inElectronics and Electrical Communication engineering from the IndianInstitute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India, both in 2007, and theM.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 2008 and 2012,respectively.  In February 2013, he joined the faculty of the Department ofElectrical Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA. Hisresearch interests are in the areas of high-frequency integratedcircuits (ICs), electromagnetics, optics for various applications insensing, imaging and high-speed communication. Dr. Sengupta was therecipient of the IBM Ph.D. fellowship (2011–2012), the IEEESolid-State Circuits Society Predoctoral Achievement Award, the IEEEMicrowave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) GraduateFellowship, and the Analog Devices Outstanding Student Designer Award(2011). He was also the recipient of the Charles Wilts Prize in 2013from the Department of Electrical Engineering, California Institute ofTechnology for the best PhD award in Electrical Engineering. He wasselected in Princeton Engineering Commendation List for OutstandingTeaching in 2014. He was also the recipient of the Prime Minister GoldMedal Award of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) (2007), theCalifornia Institute of Technology Institute Fellowship, , and theIEEE MTT-S Undergraduate Fellowship (2006). He was the corecipient ofthe IEEE RFIC Symposium Best Student Paper Award in 2012 and the IEEEMicrowave Prize in 2015 for the best paper in IEEE Transactions onMicrowave Theory and Techniques published in 2013.
