DESCRIPTION: \n\nAbout the Speaker: Taekwang Jang is currently an Assist
 ant Professor at the Institute for Integrated Systems at the ETH Zürich\,
  Switzerland. He received his B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from
  the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology\, Daejon\, Korea\,
  in 2006 and 2008\, respectively. From 2008 to 2013\, he worked at Samsung
  Electronics Company Ltd.\, Yongin\, Korea\, focusing on mixed-signal circ
 uit design including analog and all-digital phase-locked loops for communi
 cation systems and mobile processors fabricated in 20-45nm CMOS process. I
 n 2017\, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan\; his disse
 rtation was titled “Circuit and System Designs for Millimeter-Scale IoT 
 and Wireless Neural Recording.” After working as a post-doctoral researc
 h fellow at the University of Michigan for one year\, he joined the ETH Z
 ürich in 2018 as an assistant professor and is leading the Analog and Mix
 ed-Signal Interface group. His research interests include ultra-low power 
 systems\, bio-medical circuits\, frequency synthesizers and data converter
 s.\nAbstract: The next generation of computing platforms increases proxim
 ity to the source of information rather than to humans\,  allowing much m
 ore aggressive miniaturization. The key technology for miniaturization had
  been process scaling\, which had reduced the silicon area\, increased com
 putational capability and lowered power consumption. However\, the latest 
 deep-submicron technologies do not fit well with mm-scale computing becaus
 e of the increased leakage current. Therefore\, advances in circuit level 
 techniques are critical to realizing networks of mm-scale IoT computing pl
 atforms.\nConsequently\, promising research outcomes have been published i
 n various areas of medical care\, environmental monitoring and surveillanc
 e. \nSuch wireless sensor nodes require new circuit techniques as they ar
 e placed in a very distinct operating environment with specialized purpose
 s compared to conventional applications. Ultra-low power consumption is on
 e of the most challenging constraints resulting from the form factor of th
 e system.\n \nThis talk\, based on recent publications\, introduces circu
 it techniques for the key building blocks of a miniaturized sensor node su
 ch as an ultra-low power timers\, energy efficient sensor front-ends\, wir
 eless power transfer circuits and a reconfigurable frequency synthesizer.
