Biography

Travis Kleeburg received a B.S. degree with high honors in electrical engineering from the University of California, Davis in June 2006. He stayed at Davis to pursue his research interests and in late 2009 he received an M.S. degree and advanced to Ph.D. candidacy. His research interests include high efficiency A-D circuit design, free space optical communications and system designs which incorporate energy harvesting transducers. Past works include the development of an automated testing environment for A-D converters and integrated PV cell measurements in 0.35um and 90nm technologies. At ISSCC 2010 Travis presented a paper on Ultra Low Voltage Circuits Powered by Free Space Optics which included a 400mV 23fJ/Cs Delta Sigma A-D converter. His current research projects involve variation aware algorithms used to calibrate circuits operating in weak inversion and an optically powered subdermal bio-sensor. Travis is funded by the U.S. Department of Educations GAANN fellowship and the FCRP Interconnect Focus Center.
