DESCRIPTION:Dr. Xinling Yue\nAbstract\nAs we move towards a world with tri
 llions of connected sensors\, the "battery bottleneck" has become the prim
 ary obstacle to true autonomy. Vibrational energy harvesting offers a prom
 ising solution by converting ambient vibrations into electricity. However\
 , the raw output from transducers is often erratic and high-impedance\, po
 sing significant challenges for efficient power conversion. This talk expl
 ores the design of state-of-the-art integrated circuits (ICs) that bridge 
 this gap. We will discuss advanced techniques such as synchronized switchi
 ng to enable maximum power extraction in a millimeter-scale footprint. By 
 integrating intelligence directly into the power management unit\, we are 
 paving the way for "fit-and-forget" silicon systems that operate indefinit
 ely on nothing but the pulse of their environment.\n\nBiography\nDr. Xinli
 ng Yue is a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zürich\, Switzerland\, special
 izing in high-performance Power Management ICs and ultrasonic SoC solution
 s. She received her Ph.D. from Delft University of Technology in 2025. Her
  research pioneers the development of "Autonomous Silicon" - battery-less 
 systems that harvest energy and communicate in complex environments. A lea
 ding voice in the solid-state circuits community\, Dr. Yue has authored ov
 er 30 technical publications\, including 9 flagship contributions to ISSCC
  and JSSC. Her excellence has been recognized by the IEEE SSCS Predoctoral
  Achievement Award. Her vision is to enable the next generation of untethe
 red\, intelligent micro-systems for biomedical and industrial applications
