GROVE is a common platform for all VLSI enthusiasts at Syracuse University. GROVE was founded in 2002 by a group of faculty members and students from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. It is a forum managed by students and guided by our expert faculty. It is open to students from all the three programs offered by the ECS department viz. B.S, M.S and Ph.D.

The primary goal of GROVE is to act as a medium, for Information Flow and Research Awareness about VLSI and related fields among the students at SU. It aims at providing a common platform for the faculty and the students for interactions and, encouraging students pursuing a career in VLSI and related fields.
