Presenter: Dr. Jasmin Grosinger, Chair of Communication Engineering, University of Siegen.
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss radio frequency design solutions for wireless sensor and communication nodes to solve sustainability issues that arise with the digitalization of the economy and society due to the massive deployment of wireless nodes on environmental, economic, and societal levels. Engineers can apply these design solutions to improve the ultra-low-power operation of wireless nodes, avoid batteries’ eco-toxicity, and decrease maintenance costs due to battery replacement. The discussed solutions offer high integration levels based on system-on-chip and system-in-package concepts in low-cost complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies to limit these nodes’ costs and carbon footprints. We will discuss, in particular, solutions for ultra-low-power wireless communication systems based on high-frequency and ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies.
Bio: Dr. Jasmin Grosinger is the Chair of Communication Engineering of University of Siegen. She received her PhD from Vienna University of Technology and conducted part of her doctoral research at Disney Research in Pittsburgh, USA. Before joining Siegen, she served as Assistant and later Associate Professor at the Institute of Microwave and Photonic Engineering at Graz University of Technology, Austria. She also held research positions at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and Tohoku University in Japan. Her research focuses on sustainable and energy-efficient wireless communication and sensor systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial digitalization.
