Job description:
Near Threshold Computing (NTC) promises to achieve ultra low energy computation based on aggressive voltage down scaling. However, there  are several challenges to achieve robust computing using NTC. The purpose of this project is to develop logic and microarchitecture design based on NTC concept and approximate computing to achieve low energy consumption and high reliability.

Required Background:
logic synthesis, timing analysis, circuit simulation, library characterization, approximate computing
