Research activity
Micro and Nano Electronics Group
Research activity
The micro and nano electronics group is active
in the broad area of pervasive electronics for
ubiquitous and sustainable energy-efficient
applications. Relevant topics are ultra-low power
neuromorphic electronics, nano-bio-electronic
sensing, more-than-Moore and beyond-
Moore components, novel wide bandgap
semiconductors for efficient power applications,
and RF design for low-power communications,
using laboratory experiments and simulations.
Context and motivation of
the research
As the world becomes more interconnected
and energy-hungry, key enabling semiconductor
micro- and nano-technologies can improve
energy efficiency and autonomy of both small
portable and large server-farm-like electronic
systems, e.g. via smart power management and
the deployment of pervasive artificial intelligence
solutions from the edge to the cloud. Impact on society
Our research links to the urgent need of intelligent
systems, personalized healthcare, green and
sustainable industries. By transferring research to
higher education, promoting the creation of successful
spin-offs and start-ups, and patenting innovative
concepts and results, we ensure long-lasting impact
on the scientific and industrial communities and on our
society.
