Mixed Signal Circuit Design including:
1. Low noise analog signal sensing functions combined with high speed digital functions (combining microcontrolers/FPGAs with low noise op-amps for frontend signal processing).
2. High power RF/microwave energy design for energy delivery to human tissue (combined with functions in item 1).
3. Low noise DC-DC converter design for low and high voltage applications (X-ray sources and PMT's).
4. Medium to high Power DC to DC converter and DC to AC inverter design.
