[edit] Research interests

• Digital Integrated Circuits
• VLSI Signal Processing
• Parallel Data Architectures
• Optimization and EDA Environments

[edit] Teaching

Prof. Markovic teaches core undergraduate and graduate courses in digital circuit and system design. The classes focus on advanced concepts in state-of-the art CMOS technology. He also teaches graduate level class in VLSI architecture optimization and rapid prototyping of complex DSP algorithms in applications such as wireless communications and neuroscience.

[edit] Undergraduate courses

EE115C	EE115C: Digital Electronic Circuits This course focuses on introductory-level digital IC design. Topics include: transistor operation in deep-submicron; current equations and parasitic capacitances of CMOS transistors; CMOS inverter and logic gates (static, pass-transistor, dynamic); gate delay calculations; power consumption; transistor sizing; physical design; sequential circuits; adder architectures.

[edit] Graduate courses

EEM216A	EEM216A: Design of VLSI Circuits and Systems This course focuses on advanced concepts of VLSI circuit and system design in state-of-the-art CMOS technologies. Topics include circuit-level optimization using gate size, supply and threshold voltage; layout of circuit blocks optimized for speed, power, and area. Advanced concepts of retiming, place and route will be employed in class projects, in addition to the design of custom blocks. The applications include microprocessors, signal and multimedia processors, and portable devices.

EE216B	EE216B: VLSI Signal Processing (formerly EE219A) This course focuses on advanced concepts in VLSI signal processing. It aims to convey knowledge in mapping of complex DSP algorithms into a description optimized for the underlying hardware technology. Emphasis is on the architectural exploration within the block-based description that can be mapped to FPGA or ASIC. Fundamental concepts from DSP theory, architecture and circuit design are applied to complex DSP algorithms in the emerging DSP applications.

[edit] Ground transportation from LAX to UCLA

Exit the lowest level of LAX to the street and choose one of the two options

• Taxi ride is between $35-$40 and wait 0 to 15 min
  • look for the taxi stand for your terminal
  • it should be adjacent to the terminal (i.e., not at an island a few lanes over)
  • it is probably to your right as you exit the terminal at street level
  • ask the driver to take you to UCLA (it is in an area of LA called Westwood)
  • have them drop you off at 420 Westwood Plaza (end of Westwood Blvd, x-street Strathmore)

• Direct LAX-to-UCLA bus is $4 and wait 0 to 30 min (gets you to Westwood equally fast)
  • look for the green signs for Flyaway Bus
  • it is on the first island one lane over as you exit to the street
  • catch the bus that goes to Westwood
  • you will see a sign on the bus, drivers also step out and yell "Westwood"
  • drivers now only accept exact change
  • since the bus stops at every terminal, it takes 10-20 minutes for it to circle from terminal 1 to terminal 7. So if you are at terminal 1 or 2, you might be able to catch an earlier bus if you walk over to terminal 6 or 7
