Rate My Professor Marko Kosunen

Kosunen's research focuses on programmatic circuit design methodologies, digital-intensive time-based data converters and transceiver circuits, and RISC-V microprocessor implementations with DSP accelerators. He has authored or co-authored over 100 journal and conference papers and holds several patents. Notable recent publications include "A 2.3nA-to-205nA Clock-Tunable Dynamic Current Reference with a Built-in 2nd-Order Current-Mode Low-Pass Filter and Coarse-Fine Regulation" (2025), "An Efficient Framework for Fully Automated Post-layout Simulation-based Optimization" (2025), "An Efficient Method for Analog Design Optimization With Layout Generators" (2025), and "Fully Programmatic Automated Design Procedure of Comparators for Analog-to-Digital Converters" published in IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (2025). As principal investigator on projects like EffiCores (2024–2027), TIRESYAS (2024–2027), and A-Core (2021–2024), his work develops open-source design methodologies and fully programmatic IC design flows such as Chipndale for applications in RISC-V microprocessors, sensing, radar, and wireless communications. These efforts contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
