Abstract: Portable electronic devices are ubiquitously rising, but are predominantly powered by batteries that require recharge/replacement to extend operation lifetime. Future devices, especially for energy-constrained applications like continuous biosensing or remote environmental monitoring, require energy-autonomy for seamless long-term operation. Ambient energy harvesting can be a sustainable way of powering these devices, but integrated circuits (IC) or chips need to start and function intelligently with the small available energy. In this talk I will present (a) ultra-low-voltage CMOS circuits for self-start and efficient power extraction from body-heat, and (c) ultra-low-power circuit architecture for motion-adaptive heartbeat detection to demonstrate a truly battery-less wearable bioelectronic sensing system-on-chip (SoC). I will conclude the talk with research areas that my group, BRICS at UC Santa Cruz will be working on soon. Biography: Soumya Bose received B.E. degree from IIEST Shibpur in 2009, M.Tech degree from IIT Kharagpur in 2013, and Ph.D. degree from Oregon State University in 2019. From 2013 to 2015 he worked at Rambus on high-speed integrated circuits. As a research intern in 2018, he worked at Kilby Labs, Texas Instruments, contributed to the development of nano-power LDO. As a research scientist from 2019 to 2024 he worked at Intel Labs. In 2025, he joined University of California, Santa Cruz, as assistant professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering to start his research group BRICS. His research focuses on analog & mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design for sensor interfacing, energy harvesting, power management, and data communication for energy constrained applications. Dr. Bose's research work has been published in IEEE conferences and journals and has included several patents. He received 2017 CDADIC best poster award, 2014 IEEE TechSym best presentation award, and 2024 Intel Labs DRA award. Dr. Bose has served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs from 2021-2023. He is a technical reviewer for various IEEE journals and conferences.

This is the annual IEEE SFBA Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) event providing a summary of the latest and unique tech innovations from the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This event has proven to be very popular as many people working in related industries do not get to attend CES. CES's focus has expanded to beyond consumer electronic devices to many (https://www.ces.tech/exhibits/product-categories.aspx) including wearables, smart homes, robotics, drones, medical and healthcare devices, etc. 2024 IEEE President, Tom Coughlin and Region 6 Director, Joseph Wei, both are past-chairs of SFBA CTSoc will share highlights of the unique tech solutions at CES that may not have been covered by the mainstream media. This will be an in-person event, and the room has limited capacity. Register early, do not miss this event to get a glance in the future of consumer technologies. Previous CES Download and other meetings slides and recordings are available for viewing at https://site.ieee.org/scv-ces/recent-events/. This is a FREE event for IEEE members who provide their IEEE membership # when registering, and $10 for non-IEEE members (no refunds).
