Les principaux laboratoires de recherche directement associés au Master WICS

The Institut de Microélectronique Electromagnétisme et Photonique et LAboratoire d'Hyperfréquences et de Caractérisation, IMEP-LaHC, is a « unité mixte de recherche (CNRS/Grenoble INP/UJF/Université de Savoie) » of  150 people strongly committed in research activities related to micro- and nano-electronics, microphotonics, micro- and nano-systems, microwaves and microwave-photonics. The RF and Millimeter-wave group is composed of 9 Professors and 12 Assistant Professors, between 35 and 40 PhD students, between 5 to 10 Post-doc researchers. 8 to 10 MSc students also stay each year between four to five months within the group for their internship.

The group has also began, since 2010, a research activity toward the RF characterization of carbon nanowires which could be embedded in microwave circuits and systems.

LETI is an institute of CEA, a French research-and-technology organization with activities in energy, IT, healthcare, defence and security. Leti is focused on creating value and innovation through technology transfer to its industrial partners. It specializes in nanotechnologies and their applications, from wireless devices and systems, to biology, healthcare and photonics. NEMS and MEMS are at the core of its activities. In addition to Leti’s 1,700 employees, there are more than 250 students involved in research activities, which makes Leti a mainspring of innovation expertise. Leti’s portfolio of 2,800 patents helps strengthen the competitiveness of its industrial partners.


TIMA Lab (Techniques of Informatics and Microelectronics for integrated systems Architecture Lab) is a public joint research laboratory of the CNRS, Grenoble-INP and UJF (Shared Research Unit #5159). TIMA is a multinational team, with members and interns from all over the world. A large proportion of the research is performed in the context of cooperative projects with industrial and academic partners, supported by regional, national and European grants.

The research topics of TIMA cover the specification, design, verification, test, CAD tools and design methods for integrated systems, from analog and digital components on one end of the spectrum, to multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip together with their basic operating system on the other end.
 
LCIS laboratory (Laboratoire de Conception et d'Intégration des Systèmes)  research topics are mainly focussed on embedded and communication systems including specification, modelisation, design, communication systems, validation, system diagnostic. New methods, models and tools are proposed in close interaction with industry.
