Background

Analog and RF integrated circuit technology now has the potential for yielding low cost solutions in a wide variety of Bio-Medical applications. The objective of this workshop is to identify analog circuit research challenges that have potential to enable important health related applications. Perspectives derived from the workshop will be used to formulate the scope of a nationwide call for University research proposals that will be issued by the Texas Analog Center of Excellence and the Semiconductor Research Corporation in August.

Agenda

Sign-in will begin at 11 am on the 22nd and a box lunch will be provided. The workshop will begin at 1 pm and continue until 6:30 pm with a break for coffee/snacks during the afternoon. Then the group will move to the Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory for a cocktail hour and a sit down dinner. On the 23rd the meeting will resume with a continental breakfast at 8 am. At noon a box lunch will be provided and (invited only) breakout sessions will begin and run until 2 pm. The group will then reassemble for a closing summary session that will end promptly at 3 pm.
