Hooman Reyhani & the Circuits and Systems Research Centre (CSRC) at the University of Limerick (UL) have been providing high quality circuit design courses with top-tier lecturers for many years. This has given our team access to these trainers and courses which otherwise would have not been available in Ireland. All of the courses have been on topics very relevant to current industry trends. Each of the courses was provided by a world-renowned expert trainer and global experts on the topic. This helps to keep abreast with current research as well as to upskill. Prior to the pandemic, the onsite courses were also a great opportunity for technical networking during the breaks. The online courses have helped spread the courses all over the world. It has been a great experience taking part in many of these courses and look forward to several exciting courses in the coming months and years.

I have now attended two courses by Prof. Reynaert on RF/mm-Wave design principles, 2025 and 2022. In my opinion, the amount of material which is covered with the associated technical depth and state-of-the-art is unrivalled. Professor Reynaert differs from other leaders in the field in one key fundamental aspect, he actually makes sure the audience is aware of all the design pitfalls while creating the state-of-the-art we often see in JSSC/TMTT publications.

That is the single reason one learns a lot more from his courses and publications. I would also like to thank Hooman Reyhani, who goes out of his way to arrange these cutting-edge courses, where all course content is easily accessible by the participants and the course feedback is addressed. I recommend these training courses to all designers and engineers who would like to explore beyond the IEEE material. Thank you!

In 2024, I attended two live online short-courses, ‘Extreme SAR ADCs’ and ‘Phase-Locked Loops’, along with some of my colleagues at Acacia, Cisco. These courses, offered by Hooman Reyhani, stand out in several ways. They are meticulously planned, with the content closely aligning with the course description. There is also recommended reading material, released weeks, if not months, ahead, enabling attendees to prepare before the course or delve deeper after the course. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, whether during the live sessions or through the discussion forums. The homework assignments significantly enhance the understanding of the key concepts presented at the lectures. A unique feature of Hooman’s courses is the extended playback access (up to 12 months) to the lecture recordings. I highly recommend checking out the sample videos on his YouTube channel to preview some of the previous course content. My colleagues and I are very satisfied with the courses and will certainly refer to the presentation materials of the above courses. I am already planning on taking some of his past course offerings for sure. Happy Learning!

Prof. Woogeun Rhee’s “Phase-Locked Loops – Practical & Advanced Design” is an excellent course for those looking to dive into the world of PLLs. It blends theory and practice, covering a wide range of aspects. The presenter’s personal anecdotes and historical context added an invaluable dimension, and his well-grounded insights into future developments were mind-stimulating.

I highly recommend this course for motivated and talented new designers as well as seasoned professionals seeking fresh perspectives, updated knowledge, and insights into the latest advancements in the field.

I have attended the “Modern Wireline Transceivers” course (2023), “Advanced ADC Design Techniques” course (2022) and “Advanced Data Converters” course (2021), arranged by Hooman Reyhani, and I have found them all to be cutting-edge and of great value. Over the years I have taken classes through some other portals but I prefer the format delivered by Hooman Reyhani. Spreading the course over multiple weeks allows for the content to be absorbed more deeply. The (optional) homework assignments, the course forum (offline Q&A), lecture chat, and lecture playback are unique features of his courses and of great benefit to the participants. The ability to watch the lectures at a convenient time, and/or replay parts for better understanding, and to be able to ask questions on the course forum, helps a lot with the learning. The presenters are world class professors and/or industry professionals and have excellent grasp of the material. These courses are very beneficial to entry level through experienced designers, as the content covers fundamental topics as well as latest trends. Even undergraduate and graduate students would benefit a lot from these courses.

My first introduction to the IC Design Training courses organized by Dr. Hooman Reyhani was in the IEEE SSCS Magazine, where I read about his previous courses. I then decided to enrol for the “Analog IC Design in Nanoscale CMOS” course, presented by Prof. Chan Carusone, in September 2021. The course was flawless with an impressively high quality in all aspects, from the professor engagement & delivery, to the course material, homework assignments and the overall course organization. Since then I have attended every course and they have all been equally impressive. The most recent course, “Modern Wireline Transceivers”, by Prof. Chan Carusone, was once again excellent, with highest quality course content, including well planned homework assignments (Python scripts) and state-of-the-art references. The knowledge I gained from the “Advanced ADC Design Techniques” course, by Prof. Ryu, and the “Power Management” course, by Prof. Prodic, is extremely useful for my daily work activities. I’m looking forward to the upcoming course on “Practical Filter Design Techniques” by Prof. Shanti Pavan, co-author of one of my favourite books. Last but not least, the format of these courses, with two sessions per week, allows to easily accommodate them with the daily work schedule. The course fees are also very affordable and a great investment even if not sponsored by one’s employer. Thank you Dr. Hooman for organizing these courses with such talented Professors. Keep up the great work and contribution to the Analog IC Design Community.

I have attended both online courses arranged by Hooman Reyhani in 2021, both lectured by world-class professors on topics related to analog and mixed-signal IC design. The courses are well organised with very interesting material. A lot of effort is made by providing homework material so that the attendees are involved in the course with hands-on exercises, which really helps to understand the topics under study. As I have worked as an analog/mixed signal designer in a company and I have been a researcher in an academic institution, I would personally recommend these courses to anyone from industry or academia. These courses usually have cutting-edge/experimental techniques more relevant for researchers but also more robust techniques suitable for designers in companies.

I have attended two recent online short-courses: one in 2020, about RFIC Design and one in 2021 on Nanoscale CMOS IC Design. Both courses have provided high-quality training on topics which turned out to be very useful to my daily work, while being up-to-date with the state-of-the-art research and development. The format of the courses has been excellent: presentations were really well structured and surprisingly well commented as well, which is particularly good if you need to revisit them in the future. The presenters were clear, concise and straight to the point, suiting all levels of experience from beginners through intermediate and advanced. Also, course participants had access to the session recordings for several weeks, giving us an opportunity to catch up with a missed lecture. Last but not least, both courses were spread really fairly over several weeks, which allows time to digest the concepts, perform homework assignments with the right attention while not sacrificing work commitments. I really recommend all levels of expertise to take part in these courses and look forward to attending the next one!

The Analog IC Design Course provided by Hooman Reyhani and Prof. Tony Chan Carusone was excellent. It contained fundamental analog circuit design as well as advanced IC design techniques using FinFET devices. The course material and SPICE simulation environment were provided in advance. Those in attendance can confirm lecture topics and homework before/after lecture. I attended this course remotely from Japan. Hooman Reyhani gave me very hearty support so I could enjoy every lecture despite of midnight start-time. I strongly recommend these courses to experts as well as less experienced engineers and researchers, particularly engineers from Asia.
