Implantable Electronics                                                                                 This research area aims to develop circuits and systems for implantable biomedical devices. Our goal is to come up wit new techniques and approaches to make electronics very small so that they can be implantable, with increased  performance capabilities. We are conducting research in the following areas. Data transfer from to  devices implanted in human/animal body, power management for implantable electronics, wireless power transfer for implantable devices. And power management circuits/power electronics for implantable. electronics. 

Targeted applications: Bionic eye  device, bioelectronics based drug delivery, electronic pill (i.e. wireless endoscopy)                          

Wireless Body Area Networks                                                                              We develop devices (biosensors) to form a wireless sensor network system that has the capability to monitor physiological parameters from patient bodies by means of different communication standards. The project targets both implanted and on-body nodes.                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Targeted applications: Medicine, sports, and entertainment.                                                                                                                                                                           

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)                                                                                               Environmental electromagnetic pollution has drastically increased over the last decades. The omnipresence of communication systems, various electronic appliances and the use of ever increasing frequencies, all contribute to a noisy electromagnetic environment which acts detrimentally on sensitive electronic equipment. Integrated circuits must be able to operate satisfactorily while cohabiting harmoniously in the same appliance, and not generate intolerable levels of electromagnetic emission, while maintaining a sound immunity to potential electromagnetic disturbances: analog integrated circuits are in particular more easily disturbed than their digital counterparts, since they don't have the benefit of dealing with predefined levels ensuring an innate immunity to disturbances. The main objective in this research domain is to improve the electromagnetic immunity of considered analog integrated circuits, so that they start to fail at relevantly higher conduction levels than before.                         

Targeted applications: Healthcare, RFID, RF communication.  

MEMS Design and Development     

This research project aims to develop micro-/nano- sensors, actuators, micro-/nano- structures.  This includes design, fabrication, characterisation and test of the newly developed Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices. We also develop new interface electronics to sense and actuate MEMs devices in order to increase their sensitivity and noise performance for various applications.                                      

Targeted applications: Medical pressure sensors, communication, nanotechnology.
