Research
My research interest is the intersection of mixed signal and RF circuit design and the development of high-speed integrated circuits--specifically PLL and ADC design. I am also interested in the development of design automation to assist analog designers as transistors become less predictable analytically. My undergraduate thesis examined the development of a 28 GHz wide tuning-range LC-VCO for use in 5G designs.

Battery Analysis Device
Matthew Belz, 2016
Designed a precision data aquistion system with programmable load and charging to determine the health of LiFePO4 battery cells. Started as a hobby project and then was funded by Ohio State through the STEP program, which graciously provided funding for necessary test equipment and manufacturing.

Efficient Multi-Bit Neural Networks
Matthew Belz, 2018
Final project for ECE 5194.08--VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems. I reviewed the current techniques used for neural net hardware acceleration and a proposed an extenstion of a hardware accelerator used for binary neural networks for ternary and two-bit networks.
