Biography:

Nur Touba was born and raised in suburban Minneapolis. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He received a graduate fellowship at Stanford University. At Stanford, he worked with Prof. Edward McCluskey at the Center for Reliable Computing. He completed his Ph.D. in 1996. He received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Faculty CAREER Award in 1997. He also received a Best Paper Award in 2001 at the VLSI Test Symposium.

Nur's research interests are in computer-aided design, VLSI testing, and fault-tolerant computing. He has developed a number of innovative techniques for automated design of testable and fault-tolerant circuits. In particular, his research has focused on developing new techniques for built-in self-test (BIST), delay fault testing, concurrent error detection, and design-for-testability (DFT) in core-based designs.

Research Interests:
  • computer-aided design
  • VLSI testing
  • fault-tolerant computing
