SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Arindam Sanyal\, Arizona State University
DESCRIPTION:Machine Learning for In-Sensor Artificial Intelligence and High-performance Circuit Design\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: This talk focuses on application of machine-learning (ML) for imparting intelligence to sensing devices as well as lead to high-performance circuit design. As wireless sensors are more widely adopted\, the volume of data produced by these devices are expected to reach thousands of petabytes/month. Transmitting this large volume of data over the cloud for processing will potentially emerge as a communication bottleneck and increase latency of decisions. Transmitting naively all data generated by a wearable medical device is also costly in terms of power/energy- transmitter is usually the highest consumer of energy in a sensor (at least 10~20x more energy than sensing). Key to addressing this data deluge is to increase capabilities sensing devices to process information locally and have on-device inference capabilities\, such as through embedding AI capabilities into the wearable device that will allow extraction of key information from the sensor data. There needs to be balance between what can be processed locally on-device with low power/energy and how to optimally decide the volume of data communication from the device (to cloud as an example). The barriers to this approach lie in the computational complexity of AI algorithms that makes it challenging to fit AI models on wearables with limited resources. Some of the answers might lie in going back to early days of signal processing in silicon – developing analog circuit techniques for AI development which will require collaborative innovations in both AI model development and analog circuit design techniques. In this talk\, I will present our research on developing analog AI circuits and their demonstrations with use cases from health monitoring to IoT. \n\n\n\nThe second part of this talk will present ML approaches for enhancing performance of data converters. ML has the potential to emerge as an alternative to current signal processing based complex calibration algorithms for enhancing data converter performance in advanced processes. By learning an efficient representation of the input and data converter behavior\, a simple neural network can correct data converter errors arising from multiple sources of non-idealities with similar accuracy as complex calibration algorithms but with a much lower hardware cost. \n\n\n\nArindam Sanyal\n\n\n\nBio: Arindam Sanyal is currently an assistant professor in the School of Electrical\, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. Prior to this\, he was an analog design engineer with Silicon Laboratories and assistant professor in State University of New York. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015\, his M.Tech from The Indian Institute of Technology\, Kharagpur in 2009 and B.E from Jadavpur University\, India in 2007.  Dr. Sanyal’s research expertise includes analog/mixed signal design\, bio-medical sensor design\, hardware security and neuromorphic computing. He serves in technical program committees for Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC)\, Design Automation Conference (DAC)\, International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD)\, VLSI Test Symposium (VTS)\, Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee (ASP-TC)\, and VLSI Systems and Applications Technical Committee (VSA-TC) within IEEE Circuits and Systems society\, and VLSI-D.

SUMMARY:ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Junyi Zhao
DESCRIPTION:Soft Electronics & Systems for Sensing\, Perception\, and Feedback\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Wearable technologies can support health span only when they are comfortable\, motion-robust\, and able to convert raw signals into actionable\, intuitive information. My research focuses on materials-device-system co-design of soft electronic systems that integrate three core functions\, sensing\, perception\, and feedback\, across healthcare and embodied interaction applications. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will first introduce wearable systems for women’s health\, including maternal monitoring of cardiac and uterine contraction biopotentials in clinical settings for early risk detection of preterm birth. This platform leverages soft polymeric electrodes and textile-integrated interfaces designed for stable and wireless electrophysiological recording. Second\, I will present garment-integrated electrophysiology platforms for ambulatory biopotential monitoring in daily life\, including electrocardiography (ECG) and skeletal muscle electromyography (EMG) during strenuous activities such as exercise and water sports\, with an emphasis on maintaining signal fidelity under body motion. Third\, I will describe embodied tactile interfaces that enable robust touch and gesture recognition under deformation\, combining pressure mapping with personalized recognition for intelligent human-computer interaction. Fourth\, I will discuss semiconductor material processing and advanced manufacturing approaches for intrinsically soft optoelectronic devices\, including stretchable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide low-burden\, glanceable visual feedback on wearables and everyday objects. Finally\, I will discuss future advances in intelligent wearables for personalized women’shealthcare and safe human-robot interaction. \n\n\n\nJunyi Zhao\n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Junyi Zhao is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University\, where he works with Professor Zhenan Bao to develop intelligent wearable electronics and medical robotics. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis\, where he specialized in wearable biomedical electronics for women’s health\, as well as soft optoelectronic devices for light emission and photodetection. Previously\, he was a Research Scientist Intern at Meta Reality Labs (formerly Facebook)\, where he developed wearable tactile perception interfaces for immersive AR/VR and embodied human–computer interaction. \n\n\n\nDr. Zhao has authored over 20 publications\, including first-authored papers in Nature Photonics and Advanced Materials\, as well as papers in top-tier human–computer interaction venues such as ACM UIST. He has received multiple awards and recognitions\, including WiscProf: Future Faculty in Engineering\, CAS Future Leaders\, the MRS Graduate Student Gold Award\, PMSE Future Faculty\, the ACS Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Award\, and the Nano Research Energy Young Star Researcher Gold Award.
