Integrated Circuits for Energy Harvesting Applications (ICEHA)

About ICEHA

Since 2012, Prof. Fabián Olivera researches at the laboratory of the Processing of Analog and Digital Signals (PADS) at the UFRJ, where received the MSc (2013) and PhD (2017) degrees in electronic/microelectronic engineering, under the advising of Prof. Antonio Petraglia. Integrated circuit (IC) designs for ultra-low-power applications have been the major researches in collaboration with professor Petraglia. In the last years, a collaboration research group between the laboratories of CEFET/RJ - Nova Friburgo (Prof. Fabián) and PADS/UFRJ (Prof. Petraglia) has been established by advising undergraduate, M.Sc. and D.Sc. degree students in cooperation, publishing the resulting research in the best journals (TCAS, IET, MJ) and in well-known international conferences.
