Analog/Mixed Signal VLSI and Devices Laboratory (AVDL)

Low-power biomedical devices have the ability to transform human health, from identifying chronic kidney disease to predicting diabetes and detecting respiratory issues. At Mizzou Engineering, you’ll find that work happening in the Analog/Mixed Signal and Devices Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Meet Syed Kamrul Islam, who’s at the helm of both.

Two members of AVDL were honored at the College of Engineering Awards Ceremony. Showmik Singha received the College of Engineering Outstanding PhD Student Award 2026 for exemplary scholarly achievement, research excellence, and significant contributions to the College of Engineering. Thao P.H. Nguyen received the College of Engineering Outstanding Junior Award 2026 in recognition of exceptional academic accomplishment, leadership, and outstanding promise within the College of Engineering. 

The University of Missouri’s 41st Research and Creative Activities Forum (RCAF) recognized outstanding scholarly achievements across campus, and Showmik Singha, a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, earned both Second Place in the Engineering Sciences and Informatics category and the event’s prestigious People’s Choice Award. 

Md Maruf Hossain earned First Place for the project titled “Design and Implementation of a 4-Layer Compact PCB for a High-Power GaN-Based DC-DC Buck Converter.” The project demonstrated advanced design principles in power electronics, compact PCB development, and GaN device integration reflecting strong technical depth and practical engineering capability.
