Summary
Electronics of the future: self-powering wireless circuit design. The aim of this project is to build a foundation for ultra-low-power wireless circuit design using technologies other than silicon. Scaling of transistors in silicon has been pushed to its limit and is of marginal benefit for low-power wireless circuit design. This project aims to address these limits by developing energy-efficient technology for wireless applications. The intended outcome of this project will be a self-powered, h ....Electronics of the future: self-powering wireless circuit design. The aim of this project is to build a foundation for ultra-low-power wireless circuit design using technologies other than silicon. Scaling of transistors in silicon has been pushed to its limit and is of marginal benefit for low-power wireless circuit design. This project aims to address these limits by developing energy-efficient technology for wireless applications. The intended outcome of this project will be a self-powered, high data rate receiver that will be critical in 5th-generation wireless systems. This could be used for a range of innovative wireless applications, for example in health care and environmental monitoring.Read moreRead less

Sustainability in Computing: A Holistic View. Green computing must provide sustainable processing capabilities with high energy efficiency (lower carbon footprint) and increased product longevity (reducing the need for product replacement). While advances in technology have afforded significant reduction in power requirements, they come with inherent challenges due to uncertainties in micro-scale behaviour, high complexity of quantifying/optimising energy cost or system lifetime in extreme scale ....Sustainability in Computing: A Holistic View. Green computing must provide sustainable processing capabilities with high energy efficiency (lower carbon footprint) and increased product longevity (reducing the need for product replacement). While advances in technology have afforded significant reduction in power requirements, they come with inherent challenges due to uncertainties in micro-scale behaviour, high complexity of quantifying/optimising energy cost or system lifetime in extreme scale computing, and the interaction of non-computing components with individual computing systems. This project addresses these challenges via a holistic, multi-scale paradigm for modelling, analysis, and optimisation of energy cost, carbon footprint, and product lifetime in emerging computing systems.Read moreRead less
