The IEEE Greece CAS/SSC joint Chapter, in the frame of the IEEE Circuits and System Society Distinguished Lecturer Program, is inviting you in the lecture of: Prof. Gabriel Rincon -Mora, Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Atlanta, GA, USA, entitled:

The lecture will be given on Friday, December 7, 2018, at 12:00, in the Amphitheater I of KEDEA, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Abstract:
Networked  wireless  microsensors  can  not  only  monitor  and  manage  power consumption  in  small-and  large- scale  applications  for  space,  military,  medical,  agricultural,  and consumer  markets  but  also  add  cost-,  energy-,  and  life, saving  intelligence  to  large  infrastructures and tiny devices in remote and difficult- to - reach places. Ultra-small systems, however, cannot store sufficient energy to sustain monitoring, interface, processing, and telemetry functions for long. And replacing  or  recharging  the  batteries  of hundreds  of  networked  nodes  can  be  labor  intensive, expensive,  and  oftentimes  impossible.  This  is  why  alternate  sources  are  the  subject  of  ardent research  today.  Except  power  densities  are  low,  and  in  many  cases,  intermittent,  so  supplying functional  blocks  is  challenging.  Plus,  tiny  lithium - ion  batteries  and  super  capacitors,  while  power dense,  cannot  sustain  life  for  extended  periods.  This  talk  illustrates  how  emerging  microelectronic systems can draw energy from elusive ambient sources to power tiny wireless sensors.
