|
| | Special Session: Beyond Low-Power Design: Environmental Energy Harvesting
|
| | Chair: Kaushik Roy - Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN
| | | Organizers: Pai Chou, Vijay Raghunathan
|
| | This session will feature renowned experts in the field of energy harvesting who will provide a comprehensive treatment of the area, drawing from state-of-the-art practice and emerging research directions at all levels of design abstraction including materials/devices, circuits, systems, and architecture/design.
Environmental energy harvesting has emerged as a promising technique to enable near-perpetual system operation in several emerging applications (e.g., human bio-implants, ambient intelligence, wireless sensor networks). Further, it mitigates the cost and environmental impact of battery replacement and disposal. The session will cover all aspects of designing and optimizing an environmental energy harvesting system in a bottom-up manner, starting from devices/materials, circuits, systems/architecture, and finally harvesting aware system-level power management policies.
