DESCRIPTION:Alexandre Schmid\nAbstract: \nMicro and nano-electronic system
 s integration follows a classical route as prescribed from empirical scali
 ng laws which is the enabler of modern ubiquitous consumer\, scientific an
 d industrial applications driven by classical processor architectures and 
 systematic down-scaling of analog functions. The design of unconventional 
 microelectronic systems aims at satisfying increased demands in terms of c
 omputational efficiency by adopting alternate\, nature-inspired and unconv
 entional processing methods or integration techniques considered at variou
 s levels of the implementation and abstraction levels.\nThis seminar prese
 nts research carried out at the EPFL SCI-STI-AXS along the lines of biomed
 ical implantable electronic medical devices (IEMDs) as well as neuromorphi
 c and robust systems. A three-layer cortically implantable system aiming a
 t the control of neurological disorders is presented with emphasis on sele
 cted circuit and systems developments aiming at efficient data acquisition
  in multi-channel configuration\, seizure detection using AI hardware and 
 electrical stimulation. Some examples of neuromorphic developments as well
  as robust circuit and systems are presented. Future edge of computing sys
 tems are expected to benefit from the joint application of these technolog
 ies and approaches\, specifically in the domain of bio-medical autonomous 
 systems used in personalized medicine.\n\nAlexandre Schmid (Senior Member\
 , IEEE) received the M.Sc. degree in microengineering and the Ph.D. degree
  in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology 
 (EPFL) in 1994 and 2000\, respectively. He has been with EPFL since 1994 a
 nd has been conducting research in the fields of bioelectronic interfaces\
 , biomedical and implantable microelectronics\, non-conventional signal pr
 ocessing (machine learning\, AI) and neuromorphic hardware\, and reliabili
 ty of nanoelectronic circuits. Since 2011\, he has been a “Maître d’E
 nseignement et de Recherche” (MER) Faculty Member of EPFL. He is a coaut
 hor and co-editor of five books\, and over 150 articles published in journ
 als and conferences. He has served as the General Chair for the Fourth Int
 ernational Conference on Nano-Networks in 2009\, and as an Associate Edito
 r for the IEICE Electronics Express (2009-2014).
