Electrical Engineering Grad Student Christian Venerus Finalist in Broadcom Foundation University Research Competition

Christian Venerus, an electrical engineering graduate student from electrical and computer engineering professor Ian Galton’s Integrated Signal Processing Group was one of 12 finalists at the Broadcom Foundation University Research Competition earlier this month. (Read the Broadcom press release.)

Christian Venerus’ project “A 3-4GHz Mostly-Digital GSM-Compliant 1.0/1.2V PLL in 65 nm CMOS” studied how making the implementation of frequency synthesizers in chipsets more digital results in effective collaboration and communication, accurate location, and faster response for law enforcement agencies, remote monitoring and diagnosis of health conditions.

Other research from Venerus: A recent paper by Venerus and Galton “Delta-Sigma FDC Based Fractional- PLLs,” published by IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers is posted on the Integrated Signal Processing Group publications page.

Broadcom Foundation’s mission is to advance education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by funding research, recognizing scholarship and increasing opportunity.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is part of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.
