Design of efficient on-board electronic systems for various applications in demanding sectors such as the automotive industry (electric vehicles, driverless vehicles) or Industry 4.0 with the aim of monitoring the most critical physical parameters, carrying out processing on the on-board platform and sending the information remotely and separately to the cloud, mostly using wireless communication, thus enabling the remote and predictive maintenance required for various applications. In this area, in the Electronic Systems and Communications group of which I am the Manager, we are researching wireless communications in “harsh” environments (one such application: infrastructure monitoring for off-shore wind turbines) and the design of ultra-low-power sensor nodes.
