Abstract

In modern healthcare, biomedical devices play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring
of various medical conditions. From neural interface implants enabling brain mapping to wearable
devices tracking vital signs, the scope of biomedical devices is vast and continually expanding. However,
this rapid evolution brings new challenges. Many biomedical devices require miniature form factors for
applications such as implantable devices or wearable sensors. Integrating complex functionalities into
small form factors poses challenges in power management, precision sensing, essential redundancy,
data connectivity, device integration, and more. Addressing these challenges requires advanced
solutions at the circuit and system levels. Dr. Jia’s team at UT Austin is dedicated to exploring innovative
circuit topologies and system architectures to create cutting-edge biomedical devices.

Bio

Dr. Yaoyao Jia is an Assistant Professor and the Fellow of Silicon Labs Endowed Chair in Electrical
Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at
Austin. She received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2019. Her research
interests include analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, power management integrated circuits,
energy harvesting circuits, and low-power data radios. She is particularly motivated by the applications
of these technologies and methodologies in the development of advanced biomedical devices. Recently,
she received the NSF CAREER Award and the Intel Rising Star Faculty Award.
