Abstract :
The University of Tennessee (UT) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have formed a cooperative joint program in mixed-signal VLSI and monolithic sensors. The intent of the program is to have a larger research and educational impact jointly than either institution could have alone. The joint program consists of joint facilities, joint research, an undergraduate intern program and a graduate program. In addition, ORNL and UT are sharing research staff and student research assistants
