Nationally, Oxford Brookes University is one of the Top 50 universities. Worldwide, it is one of the topmost youngest universities established.
Host Country: Oxford, England
Host University: Oxford Brookes University
Name of the scholarship: Fully Funded PhD Studentship in AI/ML Assisted Integrated Circuit Verification Framework with Infineon Technologies
Degree Level: PhD
Benefits:
- Duration: 3 years.
- Bursary: £17,363 per year, increasing by inflation
- Fees: Tuition fees paid by the university; top-up by Infineon Technologies.
- Equipment/Conference Fees: £2,000; top-up by Infineon Technologies.
Program:
- Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment
- This project, in collaboration between Infineon Technologies and the Advanced Reliable Computer Systems Group at Oxford Brookes University, will investigate AI/ML assisted fast and efficient solutions to the problem of IC verification, one of the most difficult steps in an IC’s design cycle.
- With ICs exceeding billions of transistors, the costs of tests and verification are often over half of the total cost of the entire design.
- This project will investigate and identify which test/verification components will most likely benefit from AI/ML algorithms, and identify the most effective types of AI/ML algorithms.
- AI/ML based solutions will be developed for significant reduction in verification costs, while maintaining the highest degree of accuracy and reliability.
- The outcome will be evaluated against existing approaches for their effectiveness and pathways will be provided for integration into existing verification frameworks.
- This project is expected to significantly expand the fields of Electronic Design Automation and AI.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Master’s degree in one of: Computer Science/ Engineering/Informatics/Microelectronic/VLSI Design or a related discipline.
- Excellent programming skills, preferably C/C++ and Python; familiarity with matlab.
- Good understanding of computer architecture and machine learning techniques.
- Willingness to learn and quickly pick up state-of-the-art professional EDA tools.
- Competency in presenting, writing, and communicating ideas. Willingness/ability to work with our industrial collaborator.
- Passion and commitment for research.
Desirable selection criteria:
- A background in: simulation/model based test/verification.
