[2025] Projects in Sijun Du's Group

Available research directions and projects are listed below:

• Energy Harvesting
  • Kinetic
  • Thermoelectric or Solar 
  • RF power
• Wireless Power Transfer
  • Inductive
  • RF power
  • Ultrasonic 
• DC-DC Converters
  • Switched-cap
  • Isolated
  • Switch-mode / hybrid

The above are just research directions. The projects will be working on the power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and system designs, including AC-to-DC rectifiers, DC-to-DC converters, control techniques, maximum power point tracking (MPPT), maximum efficiency point tracking (MEPT), etc. 

Assignment

1. Literature review of power management integrated circuits (PMIC) in the chosen research project.
2. You will lead, design, tape out, and measure an ASIC for the proposed circuit.

Requirements

You should be familiar with analog IC design and Cadence environment. If you are interested in knowing more about any specific research directions, please send the following documents to Sijun Du for further discussions at email: Sijun.Du@tudelft.nl

• Your up-to-date CV
• BSc transcripts
• MSc grades (obtained to date)

Suggested courses to appear in your IEP:

• Analog Circuit Design Fundamentals
• Measurement and Instrumentation
