Alex Doboli received the MS degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the "Politehnica" University Timisoara, Romania in 1990. He was awarded the "Doctor" degree in Computers from the "Politehnica" University Timisoara in 1997. In 2000, he received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from University of Cincinnati. He was a junior faculty (asistent universitar) at the "Politehnica" University Timisoara, Department of Computer Science and Engineering between 1991-1997. In Fall 2000 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he is now an Associate Professor. Since Fall 2007, he is also an Invited Professor at Department of Automation and Technical Informatics, "Politehnica" University Timisoara. Dr. Doboli's research is in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of mixed-domain systems and networks of systems. He has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and has advised 5 Ph.D. thesis (graduated). He is an Associate Editor for Integration, the VLSI Journal (Elsevier). He is a Senior IEEE Member, a Member of SigmaXi and Tau Beta Pi.

Research interests

His research interests include all aspects of CAD for mixed-domain systems, including specification, modeling, and synthesis of mixed-signal (analog-digital) and hardware-software embedded systems and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs):

  • High-level synthesis of analog and mixed-signal systems: synthesis from VHDL-AMS specifications, circuit modeling and simulation, system sizing through optimization, automated topology generation, and methodologies for reconfigurable ADCs.

  • IP core integration: bus architecture design, arbiter synthesis, substrate noise analysis, IP core placement, and bus routing.

  • Embedded systems: hardware/software co-design for resource constrained systems (sensor networks), stochastic and heuristic methods for on-line architecture adaptation.
