Professional Interests

Dr. Levitan's research interest include computer-aided design for optoelectronic computing systems consisting of very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI), optical mechanical electrical micro-systems (OMEM) and optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEIC). His research focus is on the design and implementation of optoelectronic parallel computing systems for computation, communication and storage.
