A groundbreaking study led by Princeton professor Kaushik Sengupta was awarded the 2023 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits for its pioneering use of artificial intelligence in wireless chip design.

The research introduces an AI-driven system that reverses traditional design processes, starting with desired performance outcomes and working backward to generate optimized circuit architectures.

This innovation drastically cuts chip design time from weeks to hours, enhancing efficiency and expanding frequency capabilities across all millimeter-wave bands from 30 to 94 GHz.

Co-authors Emir Ali Karahan, a Princeton graduate student, and Zheng Liu, a former Princeton researcher now at Texas Instruments’ Kilby Labs, contributed to the study. 

Professor of electrical and computer engineering at Princeton, Sengupta, a fellow of the IEEE, co-founded the university’s Next-G Initiative, an advanced communications research program launched in 2023. His accolades include the DARPA Young Faculty Award, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, and Bell Labs Prize.
