DESCRIPTION:Prof. Wouter A. Serdijn\, Delft University of Technology\, IEE
 E Fellow\nIn the design process of electroceuticals\, such as hearing inst
 ruments\, pacemakers\, cochlear implants and neurostimulators\, the tradeo
 ff between performance and power consumption is a delicate balancing act. 
 In this presentation I will cover techniques to deal with the acquisition 
 and generation of electrophysiological signals and to provide reliable com
 munication with and through the body.\nWe will discuss signal-specific ana
 log-to-digital converters\, energy harvesting and transcutaneous wireless 
 communication from a low-power circuits and system perspective. Design exa
 mples and their performance will be discussed and an avenue sketched for t
 reatment of various neurological disorders\, such as tinnitus and addictio
 n.\nBio: Wouter A. Serdijn (M'98\, SM'08\, F'11) was born in Zoetermeer ('
 Sweet Lake City')\, the Netherlands\, in 1966. He received the M.Sc. (cum 
 laude) and Ph.D. degrees from Delft University of Technology\, Delft\, The
  Netherlands\, in 1989 and 1994\, respectively.\nHis research interests in
 clude low-voltage\, ultra-low-power and ultra wideband integrated circuits
  and systems\, biosignal conditioning and detection neuroprosthetics\, tra
 nscutaneous wireless communication\, power management and energy harvestin
 g\, as applied\, in e.g\, hearing instruments\, cardiac pacemakers\, cochl
 ear implants\, neurostimulators\, portable\, wearable\, implantable and in
 jectable medical devices and electroceuticals.\nHe is co-editor and co-aut
 hor of several scientific books  He authored and co-authored 7 book chapt
 ers and more than 250 scientific publications and presentations. He teache
 s Circuit Theory\, Analog Signal Processing\, Micropower Analog IC Design 
 and Bioelectronics. He received the Electrical Engineering Best Teacher Aw
 ard in 2001 and 2004.\nHe has served\, a.o.\, as General Chair for IEEE Bi
 oCAS 2013\, Technical Program Chair for IEEE BioCAS 2010 and as Technical 
 Program Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2010 and 2012\, as a member of the Board of G
 overnors (BoG) of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (2006­2011)\, as 
 chair of the Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Circ
 uits and Systems society\, as a member of the Steering Committee of the IE
 EE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (T-BioCAS) and as Edito
 r-in-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems­I: Regular Paper
 s (2010­2011). He currently is TPC Co-Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2014 and Gener
 al Co-Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2015.\nWouter A. Serdijn is an IEEE Fellow\, an
  IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and a mentor of the IEEE.
