Towards energy-autonomous and low-cost distributed sensor node: approaches and perspectives
The vision of a world where pervasive integrated electronic systems are fully interconnected to collect, process, and exchange information leads to a significant growth trend in the global smart sensor market. However, powering Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures of one trillion nodes with batteries poses considerable maintenance and management costs. In the framework of this increasing trend, this talk will highlight innovative circuital and systems-level strategies and techniques to drastically reduce power consumption and build battery-less and energy-autonomous electronic devices.
The talk focuses on the low-cost and low-power consumption requirements for energy-efficient IC design. These demand a small area, low design effort, digital-like shrinkage across CMOS generations, and design/technology portability. Moreover, the possibility to exploit the digital (automated) design flow even for analog building blocks can dramatically reduce the design effort of any system-on-chip enabling aggressively supply-voltage scaled and/or regulator-less building blocks that can be powered directly from energy harvesters. As final remarks, the talk will show a system-level industrial overview, exploring the research progress in sustainable wireless sensor nodes that require minimal or no maintenance.

Orazio Aiello of University of Genoa, Italy
Biography:
Orazio Aiello (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (cum laude) from the University of Catania, Italy, in 2005 and 2008, respectively, the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) from Scuola Superiore di Catania, Italy, in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2013.
He was a Mixed Signal IC Designer and an EMC Consultant with STMicroelectronics, Castelletto, Italy, from 2008 to 2009, and NXP-Semiconductors, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2014. From 2015 to 2021, he was with the Green IC Group, National University of Singapore. He is/was the leader/coordinator of a few EU-funded projects (i.e. ULPIoT, UBIGIoT).
He is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of Genoa, Italy. His main research interests include energy-efficient analog-mixed signal circuits and sensor interfaces. He is/was a Technical Program Committee member of several conferences, such as NORCAS and APCCAS. He is an Associate Editor of IET Electronics Letters and the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications (Wiley). He serves as a regular reviewer for several IEEE journals.
