       主讲人简介:

       Jan Van der Spiegel is a Professor ofthe Electrical and Systems Engineering  Department at the University of Pennsylvania and Senior Visiting Professor at  the Departments of Micro&Nano Electronics at Tsinghua University. Dr. Van  der Spiegel received his Master’sdegree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering and  his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Leuven,  Belgium. His primary research interests are in mixed-mode VLSI design, CMOS  vision sensors for polarization imaging, biologically based image sensors and  brain-machine interfaces. He is the author of over 200 journal and conference  papers and holds 4 patents.

       He is a life fellow of the IEEE, the recipient of the IEEE Major Educational  Innovation Award, the IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the UPS Foundation  Distinguished Education Chair and the Bicentennial Class of 1940 Term Chair.  

       He is a member of the IEEESolid-State Circuits Society AdCom, he is an  Associate Editor of the Transaction of BioCAS, and a member of the Editorial  Board of the IEEE Proceedings, and Section Editor of the Institute of  Technology’s Journal of Engineering. He is currently the president of the IEEE  SSCS.

       内容摘要:

       Advancesin CMOS Technology and Material Science have allowed to create  sophisticated bio-inspired sensors and signal processing systems. At the same  time, a lot of progress has been made in understanding the human brain and the  human sensory system. Major breakthroughs are now possible when these two fields  come together. Thepresentation will give two examples. One is how learning from  biology allowedus to create new types of sensors. We will focus on a  bio-inspired polarizationimager. Another example will illustrate how  microelectronics technology can help people with neurological diseases. The talk  will describe our recent work on aclosed-loop, bi-directional  Brian-Machine-Interface (BMI) that potentially can improve quality of life of  these patients.
