Professor Rincón-Mora’s research focuses on power-conditioning and energy-harvesting integrated circuits that supply, sustain, and integrate microsystems for portable and embedded applications. He explores, develops, and designs silicon-based microchips that draw power from tiny batteries, fuel cells, magnetically coupled coils, and generators that harness ambient energy from motion, light, temperature, and radiation to energize and power wireless microsensors for biomedical, consumer, and industrial use. His work includes low-power analog and mixed-signal circuits, voltage references and regulators, switching power supplies, battery chargers, and energy-harvesting microsystems.
Professor Rincón-Mora’s teaching encompasses core electrical engineering topics, including analog circuits, power electronics, and integrated-circuit design. He is committed to providing students with a strong foundation in circuit analysis and design principles at both undergraduate and graduate levels. His teaching approach emphasizes practical understanding and application, fostering student engagement and preparation for careers in electrical engineering and related fields.
