Analog Integrated Circuit Design (IC) + Power Electronics
Analog Integrated Circuit Design (IC) + Power Electronics
Our research interests include power management circuits (linear regulators and switching DC-DC converters), energy harvesting, wireless power transfer, hybrid power converter topology, and analog integrated circuits. Ultimately, We plan to build a complete system solution by incorporating our knowledge in the fields of energy harvesting (photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and piezoelectric) and sensor interfaces for IoT platforms and power and battery management ICs for mobile applications. Moreover, We will extend our research area to high-power and high-frequency inverters/converters for industrial applications. Additionally, to pioneer emerging technology, We will continue to work on synthesizable analog circuits with deep learning.
