I obtained my PhD from the MICAS group at the K.U.Leuven on the energy-driven, cross-layer design of a low-energy receiver. During this PhD, I resided at the Berkeley Wireless Research Centre (BWRC) at UC Berkeley for 3 months in 2005. I also had on on-going collaboration with IMEC and coordinated junior PhD students in the IWT SBO project “Pinballs”.
From 2008-2011, I worked for Intel Labs in Portland, OR, USA. In the Wireless Communications Research Lab I worked on digitally-enhanced analog and RF circuits for performance enhancement, self-test and self-calibration. I am most proud of the “calibration engine” research project, which I started and in which I supervised 8 researchers and 5 PhD interns. I also heavily collaborated with academia in Georgia Tech, Arizona State, CMU, Ohio state and UC Berkeley.
I returned from the USA in 2011, and became professor in the ESAT-MICAS group of KULeuven on October 1st, 2012. I am currently ramping up my research group on smart, self-adaptive system architectures and circuits for ubiquitous sensing and computing. I am member of various TPCs (DATE, ESSCRIC, ISSCC SRP, ReCoSoC, RWW), published 1 book, 2 book chapters, 4 patents, 11 journals and 20+ conference publications, and am a leading person in the FET flagship proposal “Guardian Angels” (roadmap leader and member of scientific board).
Research interests:
- Low-energy digital
- Reconfigurable computing
- Adaptive circuits
- Digitally-assisted analog
- Machine learning
