__FORCETOC__
A collaborative website for Prof. [[Marc Riedel]]'s research group at the [http://www.umn.edu University of Minnesota].
==About the Group==
The group consists of [[Marc_Riedel|Prof. Marc Riedel]] and his students in the [http://www.ece.umn.edu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering] at the [http://www.umn.edu University of Minnesota]. Our research activities encompass topics in logic synthesis and verification, as well as in synthetic and computational biology. A broad theme is the application of expertise from digital circuit design to new areas.
* See our "[[People]]" page for a list of everyone in the group.
* See our "[[Research]]" page for an overview of our research activities.
* See our "[[Papers, Presentations, Theses, Proposals, and Patents]]" page for our papers, presentations, theses, and funding proposals.
