Mission
The Electronics Laboratory (ELab) know-how has originally been built around CMOS analog and mixed-signal ICs design. It has progressively been extended to MOS device physics and modeling. Some results obtained in modeling and circuit design techniques are translated into specific software tools as a subset of the main commercial CAD environment. Today, the main focus of the Elab in the field of IC Design, is concentrated on: - Ultra low power sensors interface, - High efficiency energy harvesting, - Electronics for Smart buildings management, - Real time electronics dedicated to Power grids emulation for smart grid technologies, - Smart power design and modeling for automotive applications.Biography
Maher Kayal received M.S. and Ph.D degrees in electrical engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) in 1983 and 1989 respectively. He has been with the Electronics laboratories of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) since 1990, where he is currently a professor and director of the Energy Management and Sustainability" section. He has published many scientific papers, coauthor of three text books dedicated to mixed-mode CMOS design and he holds eleven patents. His technical contributions have been in the area of analog and Mixed-signal circuits design including highly linear and tunable sensors microsystems, signal processing and green energy management.
