At the Wireless Integrated Microsystems Lab (WIML), our research is driven by the vision of seamlessly connecting advanced electronics with the human body and the environment. To enable the next generation of biomedical devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), our circuit and system designs are guided by three core philosophies:
Miniature & Functional
|
Low Power
|
Green & Nature
|
| We push the boundaries of CMOS technology to pack complex signal processing, sensing, and wireless communication capabilities into the smallest possible footprint. Through advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) integration, we transform bulky diagnostic equipment into highly functional, unobtrusive microchips. This aggressive miniaturization is the key to developing smart contact lenses, wearable multimodal biosensors, and implantable medical devices that deliver clinical-grade data without disrupting daily life. | As the demand for continuous monitoring grows, energy efficiency is paramount. We specialize in ultra-low-power circuit architectures, designing sensor readout interfaces, voltage references, and wireless transceivers that operate on minimal micro-watt or nano-watt power budgets. By drastically reducing quiescent power and optimizing duty cycles, we extend the operational lifespan of wireless nodes and make persistent, real-time physiological monitoring a reality. | We believe the future of microelectronics must be sustainable. Our lab actively develops self-sustaining systems that draw power directly from their surroundings. By innovating in highly efficient RF energy harvesting, photovoltaic integration, and cutting-edge soil microbial fuel cells (SMFC), we create battery-free technologies. From eco-friendly smart agriculture sensors to bio-inspired diagnostic patches, we aim to eliminate toxic electronic waste and build systems that work in harmony with the natural environment. |
