Kaiyuan Yang leads the Secure and Intelligent Micro-Systems (SIMS) Lab, innovating and developing low-power integrated circuits and micro-systems for secure and intelligent ubiquitous sensors and computers. These advancements aim to enable unprecedented applications through ultra-low-power, miniaturized electronics, including the Internet of Everything, ubiquitous computing, and bioelectronic implants and wearables.

Dr. Yang received his B.S. from Tsinghua University, China, in 2012, and his M.S./Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, MI, in 2017. He received the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) New Frontier Award and Predoctoral Achievement Award, and the Best Paper Awards from premier conferences across multiple fields, including 2022 ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom), 2021 IEEE Custom Integrated Circuit Conference (CICC), 2016 IEEE International Symposium on Security and Privacy (Oakland), and 2015 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), and several best paper award nominations. His research has been featured as a research highlight by Communications of ACM (CACM) and ACM GetMobile magazines, on the cover of Nature Biomedical Engineering, and in IEEE Top Picks in Hardware and Embedded Security. He has been serving as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) and the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems (TVLSI), and as a technical program committee member for IEEE/ACM conferences, including ISSCC, CICC, ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, and DAC.
