Abstract：
The continuous progress of nanoelectronics and semiconductor technology fuels the technological revolution towards a smart world that immersively impacts our daily life, work and play. The Internet of Things, personalized healthcare monitoring, wellbeing comforting and home‐care robots, cloud‐based services, autonomous driving, industry 4.0, precision farming, etc. are but a few examples. Sensors and sensor interfaces with intelligence in the edge play a key role in all of these. This presentation will focus on core challenges in the design of future electronic circuits for such applications, where cost, power and reliability are major issues besides raw performance. This will be illustrated with some practical design examples.
Introduction:
George Gielen is professor in the MICAS research group of the Department of Electrical Engineering，KU Leuven since 1993 and Full Professor since 2005. In 1990-1991, he was visiting lecturer and postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of California, Berkeley. From 2007 till 2012 he was the Head of the MICAS research group. In 2012 he became the Chair of the Department and from 2013 till 2017 he served as Vice-rector of the University of Leuven responsible for the entire group Science, Engineering and Technology. He is the PI coordinator of the Leuven CHIPS Center of Excellence on microelectronic IC design.
His research interests are in the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (sensor interfaces, data converters…), and especially in analog and mixed-signal CAD tools and design automation (modeling, simulation and symbolic analysis, analog synthesis, analog layout generation, analog and mixed-signal testing). He is a frequently invited keynote speaker and course lecturer at universities and companies worldwide, and is coordinator or partner of several (industrial) research projects in this area. He has (co-)authored more than 600 papers in edited books, international journals and conference proceedings, and has co-founded 9 spinoffs so far.
魯汶大學 (KU Leuven(Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)，簡稱 KUL) ，是比利時最高學府 ，擁有比利時國家大學的美譽，是歐洲頂尖高等學府，也是世界頂尖大學之一。
近100多年來，它始終排名全球前20名。近50年來排名在第17位左右。得益于大學間學生與教師的緊密合作與交流，魯汶大學極大的促進了歐洲及至世界的文化與科學的發展和知識的傳播。
魯汶大學處于領先地位的研究領域有：半導體、微電子及納米技術、法學、哲學、建築學及古建築保護等等。值得一提的是，魯汶大學的IMEC（Inter-university Micro-Electronics Center）是世界頂尖的微電子研究中心，以微電子基礎研究和産業應用的結合而著稱于世。
