Topic:

Direct Use of Non-Electrical Energy for Sensing and Computation through MEMS

Using MEMS as a low-power edge device is one of the promising areas of research. Due to the microscopic scale of the MEMS device, with them it is possible to directly use energy available in the object of measurement (e.g. such as kinetic energy) and convert it to a mechanical or electrical responses of the MEMS device passively, without supplying any external electrical power. The Professor Yoshio Mita's group of the University of Tokyo has been working for 10 years on such passive, "direct energy conversion" MEMS sensors and devices. The audience will learn about his research group's MEMS devices such as MEMS devices for "zero-power" recording of maximum acceleration, and MEMS-in-memory computing machines.

Biography:

Yoshio Mita (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1995, 1997, and 2000, respectively.  He is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems. He also serves as a leader of University of Tokyo's open nanotechnology platform federal class-1 super-cleanroom.  His research interests include CMOS and MEMS integration technology.  Until now, he has been co-(and first-) authored 76 journal articles and 161 international conferences, 117 published by IEEE.
