My general research interests lie in the broad area of methods and algorithms for the design of digital integrated circuits and systems. I have contributed to the fields of manufacturing test and post-silicon validation and debug. My recent interests have been expanded to embedded, low-energy and custom hardware-accelerated computing systems.
Dr. Nicolici won the Distinguished Engineering Educator from McMaster University in 2014 and the MSU Teaching Award from McMaster University in 2010.
