Before You Join

Last updated · Jul 2026

Please read before joining HPIC Design Lab.
  • Researchers who collaborate. Our work spans digital, analog, and algorithms, so no one can do it all alone. We prefer students who work naturally with colleagues and, when needed, aren’t afraid to ask for outside help.
  • A clear growth path. New members progress through basic analog exercises (SPICE) → advanced architecture modeling (SystemVerilog) → real circuit/system design, on a topic you choose or are assigned.
  • Conferences, encouraged and funded. The lab supports conference activity and covers the costs. For submissions to top-tier circuit venues such as ISSCC and VLSI, an additional stipend is provided.
  • Hands-on from day one. Funded projects are currently full, so you may take on project-related research and administrative work as soon as you join.
  • Industry collaboration. Some projects run jointly with industry partners and may require on-site design work at the company or institute (Pangyo / Seoul).
