Welcome

Welcome to the Rice Integrated Systems and Circuits Laboratory (RISC). We focus on analysis, design, and testing of integrated circuits and antennas with applications in high-speed wireless communication, radar, medical imaging, and bio-sensing.  We focus on designing large-scale radiating integrated circuits in frequency regimes of 100 MHz to 1 THz. We are located at the heart of the Texas Medical Center with annual research expenditures of $1.8 billion.
