Reconfigurable RFICs for NextG and Extreme Environments”
Wireless and high-speed electronics must serve a growing range of demands from a single
piece of hardware: 6G is opening congested new frequency bands, wired links between
chips keep climbing to higher data rates, and electronics for space and other harsh
settings must adjust to conditions that shift over time. Circuits that are fixed at design
time struggle to cover this range. This talk presents reconfigurable integrated circuits that
can be tuned across bands, data rates, and operating conditions. Drawing on prior
academic work in reconfigurable radio front ends along with industry experience in
transmitters and clocking circuits, the speaker will outline a research program spanning
three directions: circuits for 6G, low jitter clocking for high-speed links, and the two-way
pairing of AI and circuit design. Together these directions point toward flexible radio and
computing hardware that can be built one circuit block at a time.

Dr. Asad Nawaz of Qualcomm
Reconfigurable RFICs for NextG and Extreme Environments
Biography:
Asad Nawaz is an RFIC Design Engineer at Qualcomm in San Diego,
where he designs radio frequency integrated circuits for cellular
systems. He received his B.Sc. from the University of Engineering and
Technology, Lahore, and his Ph.D. from Michigan State University,
where he worked on reconfigurable millimeter wave circuits for
wireless and phased array systems. He has authored several IEEE
papers and holds multiple U.S. patents. His research interests include
reconfigurable circuits for 6G, low jitter clocking for high-speed links, and the pairing of
machine learning with integrated circuit design.
