Computer-Aided Design and Test Research Group (CADT)


Welcome to the Computer-Aided Design and Test Research Group (CADT) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University. The main focus of our current research is on VLSI test, post-silicon validation and design methods for hardware accelerators.

Current groups members: Amin Vali, Trevor Pogue, Stefan Dumitrescu and Nicola Nicolici.

Below is a list of the Ph.D. theses (as well as some representative M.A.Sc. theses) supervised/co-supervised by Nicola Nicolici.
