Research Interests

Parhi Research Group Site

Research is focused on on all aspects of VLSI signal and image processing starting from algorithm and architecture design to design of digital integrated circuits and computer-aided design tools. Our emphasis is on developing techniques to design architectures and algorithms which can be operated with high speed, or lower area or lower power. Different applications impose different speed-power demands on implementations of an identical algorithm. While video and radar applications require high-speed, wireless and personal communications systems applications require low-power implementations. In addition to studying VLSI implementation styles, we also are studying computer arithmetic implementations and design of CAD tools for high-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) systems and for multiprocessor prototyping and task scheduling of software programmable DSP systems using data-flow graph models. Very high-speed architectures are designed based on novel use of look-ahead computations, pipelining and retiming. Recent work has addressed pipelined designs for parallel decision feedback equalizers, Tomlinson-Harashima precoders, Viterbi decoders, linear-feedback shift registers, and multi-gigabit transceivers. Significant research has been directed towards parallel and pipelined implementations of turbo decoders, low-power implementations of low-density parity check codes, and crypto-acclerators. Current research on low-power design is based on implementations using overscaled supply voltage and subthreshold circuit design.

Another area of research involves use of advanced signal and image processing techniques and machine learning in classification of biomedical signals. The objective here is to use signal processing for preprocessing and feature extraction and use classifiers for classification. Applications include prediction and detection of seizures in epileptic patients, automated fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging analysis for diabetic retinopathy and other ophthalmic abnormalities, and automated screening for mental disorders such as schizophrenia, biorderline personality disorder (BPD) etc. These efforts are in collaborations with various faculty in Medical School at the University of Minnesota. Another effort is directed towards synthesizing various signal processing functions by chemical or molecular reactions. These reactions are mapped to DNA strands. The objective here is to synthesize molecular reactions for a specified signal processing function. The products of these reactions can be used for protein monitoring and drug delivery.
