Robust clock generation for microchips Sira, Victor

Description

Victor Sira was a finalist in the 2024 UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Victor presented their research, "Robust Clock Generation for Microchips." They hope to pave the path for the next generation of chips to fully unlock the potential of artificial intelligence. Life as we know it runs on semiconductors. Almost every sector from healthcare to transportation to communications has been transformed through the use of semiconductor technologies and one such industry is Artificial Intelligence (AI). The world of AI promises many great advancements for society but to get there we need a lot more compute power. That means better, more efficient, more powerful semiconductor based chips and at the heart of every chip is an electronic clock. This presentation explores at a high-level how on-chip clocks can impact chip performance. Victor Sira is completing their Master of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Sudip Shekhar.
