Analog/Mixed Signal VLSI and Devices Laboratory (AVDL)

Low-power biomedical devices have the ability to transform human health, from identifying chronic kidney disease to predicting diabetes and detecting respiratory issues. At Mizzou Engineering, you’ll find that work happening in the Analog/Mixed Signal and Devices Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Meet Syed Kamrul Islam, who’s at the helm of both.

Md Maruf Hossain earned First Place for the project titled “Design and Implementation of a 4-Layer Compact PCB for a High-Power GaN-Based DC-DC Buck Converter.” The project demonstrated advanced design principles in power electronics, compact PCB development, and GaN device integration—reflecting strong technical depth and practical engineering capability. 

The University of Missouri’s 41st Research and Creative Activities Forum (RCAF) recognized outstanding scholarly achievements across campus, and Showmik Singha, a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, earned both Second Place in the Engineering Sciences and Informatics category and the event’s prestigious People’s Choice Award.
