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.
鲁汶大学 (KU Leuven(Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)，简称 KUL) ，是比利时最高学府 ，拥有比利时国家大学的美誉，是欧洲顶尖高等学府，也是世界顶尖大学之一。
近100多年来，它始终排名全球前20名。近50年来排名在第17位左右。得益于大学间学生与教师的紧密合作与交流，鲁汶大学极大的促进了欧洲及至世界的文化与科学的发展和知识的传播。
鲁汶大学处于领先地位的研究领域有：半导体、微电子及纳米技术、法学、哲学、建筑学及古建筑保护等等。值得一提的是，鲁汶大学的IMEC（Inter-university Micro-Electronics Center）是世界顶尖的微电子研究中心，以微电子基础研究和产业应用的结合而著称于世。
