Current Research:
Pulse-based circuitry:
I am doing work with pulse-based circuitry with applications in variation-tolerant signaling as well as asynchronous signaling (both fire and forget as well as hand-shake regulated)
These circuits can fall under the heading of neuromorphic circuits since they can mimic the pulse signaling of the brain

Power/Leakage optimization of monostable circuits:
Pulses are best repeated by mono-stable circuits, which has lead to study of how to optimize monostables for deep technology scaling. This optimization process has the advantage of the circuit will always idle in electrically the same state.
