Current Research activities at BICDL (pronounced as ‘big-deal!’) includes mixed-signal, Analog & RF integrated circuits (IC) design for consumer electronics & bio-medical applications. We also have various projects for Wireless-Power Transfer technology including PMIC (Power Management IC) designs. Some of the recent projects were funded by Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Heavy Industry, DSME, KEPCO & many other government-funded projects.
As of June 2025, we published 78 international journal papers, 71 international conference proceedings, 45 international patents, and 94 domestic patents. So far, 14 Ph.D. and 20 M.S Degree students graduated from BICDL, and currently 10 members are researching and working together at BICDL. Come join us for your bright future! :)
