Talk Title: Energy Harvesting and Remote Power Delivery for Ultra-low Power Applications
Abstract: Providing a constant and perpetual energy source is a key design challenge for ultra-low power applications such as remote sensing networks and implantable medical devices. Harvesting energy from the surrounding is one of the possible solutions. Delivering energy remotely from outside through different wireless media is another feasible solution. In this talk, we will present the power management systems that are required to support energy harvesting and remote power delivery for these applications, and discuss the design challenges.
Biography: Chi-ying Tsui received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong and Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1994. He joined the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1994 and is currently a full professor in the department.
His research interests include designing VLSI architectures for low power multimedia and wireless applications, developing power management circuits and techniques for embedded portable devices and ultra-low power systems. He has published more than 170 referred publications and holds 10 US patents on power management, VLSI and multimedia systems. He received the best paper awards from the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems in 1995, IEEE ISCAS in 1999, IEEE/ACM ISLPED in 2007, and IEEE DELTA in 2008, CODES in 2012. He also received the Design Awards in the IEEE ASP-DAC University Design Contest in 2004 and 2006. He also co-founded a few start-up companies, one of which is public-listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
