Track 11
Track 11. Power Management and Energy-Harvesting Circuits
Chair: Makoto Takamiya, The University of Tokyo, Japan
This track focuses on power management and
energy-harvesting circuits for sustainable and autonomous electronic
systems. It covers innovative power-conversion architectures,
energy-efficient regulation techniques, and advanced power-management
strategies for both battery-powered and energy-harvesting devices. Topics
include DC–DC converters, power management ICs, battery charging,
ultra-low-power design, and adaptive power control for IoT, edge computing,
and wearable applications. The track also emphasizes energy-harvesting
technologies such as solar, thermal, vibration, and RF energy harvesting,
along with maximum power point tracking and storage integration.
Contributions are welcomed on circuit design, system-level optimization, and
practical implementations that improve energy efficiency, reliability, and
autonomy, supporting green and self-sustaining electronic systems.

Track Chair Introduction
Makoto Takamiya, The University of Tokyo, Japan
Biography: Makoto Takamiya (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1995, 1997, and 2000, respectively. In 2000, he joined NEC Corporation, Japan, where he was engaged in the circuit design of high speed digital LSI's. He joined University of Tokyo, Japan in 2005, where he is now a Professor of Institute of Industrial Science. From 2013 to 2014, he stayed at University of California, Berkeley as a visiting scholar. His research interests include the digital gate driver and sensor ICs for power electronics and the integrated power management circuits for automotive and industrial applications. He is a program co-chair of 2026 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits. He is a member of the technical program committee of IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference, IEEE European Solid-State Electronics Research Conference, and IEEE International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs. He formerly served on the technical program committees of IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) from 2015 to 2020 and IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference from 2006 to 2011. He was a Far East Regional Chair in ISSCC 2020. He was an elected member of administrative committee in IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society from 2023 to 2025. He was a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society from 2019 to 2020. He received 2009 and 2010 IEEE Paul Rappaport Awards and the six best paper awards in IEEE Conferences.
