Abstract

The pursuit of dual carbon goals, encompassing carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, necessitates innovative approaches to energy management and efficiency. This talk introduces some innovative works of my team for power electronics circuits and power management integrated circuits (PMICs) in this endeavor. Power quality filters, wireless charging systems and DC-DC converter ICs optimize energy usage by dynamically adjusting power distribution, reducing waste, and improving the performance of power and electronic devices. By leveraging these technologies, significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved, contributing to the global effort to mitigate climate change. The integration of advanced power electronics circuits and PMICs not only supports the transition to a sustainable energy future but also ensures the reliability and resilience of modern power systems.

Biography

Chi-Seng Lam (Senior Member, IEEE) obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Macau (UM) in 2012. He completed the Clare Hall Study Programme at the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2019, and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2013. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor at UM’s State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI, Institute of Microelectronics, and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Dr. Lam has co-authored/co-edited 5 books, published over 200 technical journals and conference papers, and holds 6 U.S. patents and 8 Chinese patents. His research focuses on power quality compensators, photovoltaic energy systems, PMICs, and wireless power transfer.
