We are pleased to announce that Prof. Andres Gomez, Professor at the Institute of Computer and Network Engineering of TU Braunschweig, will be giving a talk on Batteryless Internet of Things. Title: Batteryless Internet of Things Date and location: Monday, 16.09.2024 at 14:00 o'clock am in room HS28 - 0.01 You are warmly invited! About Prof. Dr. Andres Gomez Andres Gomez received a dual degree in electronics engineering and computer engineering from the Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia, an M.Sc. degree from the ALaRI Institute (Università della Svizzera Italiana), Switzerland, and a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He has over 15 years of professional experience in embedded systems, working in academia and industry. He is currently an associate professor at TU Braunschweig, Germany. His current research interests include batteryless system design, IoT, wireless networks, and AI for resource-constrained systems. Abstract Over the last decade, energy harvesting has seen significant growth as different markets adopt green, sustainable ways to produce electrical energy. Even though costs have fallen, the embedded computing and Internet of Things community has not yet widely adopted energy-harvesting-based solutions. This is partly due to a mismatch between power density in energy harvesters and electronic devices, which, until recently, required a battery or super-capacitor to be functional. This mismatch is especially accentuated in indoor environments, where there is comparably less primary energy available than in outdoor environments. In this talk, I will present a design methodology that can optimize energy flow in dynamic environments without requiring batteries or super-capacitors. Furthermore, I will discuss the general applicability of this approach by presenting several batteryless systems, including recent advances in autonomous batteryless sensors.
