Der Lehrstuhl für Vernetzte Elektronische Systeme wurde im März 2018 an der Universität Kiel gegründet. Lehrstuhlinhaber Prof. Robert Rieger war zuvor als Professor und Leiter des Bionics Integrated Systems Lab an der National Sun Yat-Sen Universität in Taiwan tätig. Er bringt weitreichende Erfahrung in der Entwicklung integrierter Schaltungen und Systeme insbesondere mit Hinblick auf Anwendungen im biomedizinischen Bereich mit.
Das aktuelle Forschungsinteresse liegt im Bereich des Entwurfs leistungsarmer integrierter elektronischer Systeme mit besonderem Augenmerk auf das analoge Design für Sensorschnittstellen sowie digital unterstützte Mixed-Signal-Systeme. Zu den unmittelbaren Anwendungsgebieten gehören implantierbare, tragbare und vernetzte Geräte für die Neuroprothetik und intelligente Sensorik.
Zentrale Anliegen sind die Erstellung und Characterisierung von Low-Energy Schaltungen und Subsystemen zur verbesserten Signalerfassung und hardwarenahen Signalverarbeitung. Die Expertise umfasst unter anderem Nyquist Analog-Digital-Wandler in CMOS Technologie, Interferenz- und Rauschreduzierung in ExG-Eingangsschaltungen, implantierbare Systeme für die periphäre Nervensignalaufzeichnung, Schaltungen zur geschwindigkeitsselektiven Elektroneurographie, hardwarenahe Datenkompression für miniaturisierte vernetzte Erfassungssysteme, und Wandlerschnittstellen einschließlich für piezoelektrische Sensoren.

Call for participation: special issue of Electronics (ISSN 2079-9292)
Advances in CMOS technology, communication, and low power circuit design have spurred the development of wearable biomedical devices and electrically active implants, leading to miniaturized and highly integrated systems for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters. In the health and fitness market, devices monitor the rehabilitation progress, quantify personal body condition, or map activity. In such applications, it is essential that systems are ultra-low-power, miniaturized, and unobtrusive.
It is the goal of this Special Issue to report the latest developments of circuits and systems which drive novel sensing concepts and lead to ever more seamless integration of the electronic system with the body. Examples include capacitive non-contact sensing of biopotentials, devices or interface circuits for wearable biomagnetic sensors, and highly integrated neural interfaces. Essential supporting circuits are also within the scope of this SI, e.g., CMOS power harvesting systems demonstrated with a sensing device, edge processing of bioelectric signals, or dedicated low-power input amplifiers.
