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

Kaiyuan 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 2022 National Science Foundation CAREER Award, 2016 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Predoctoral Achievement Award, and 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 the research highlight at Communications of ACM (CACM) and ACM GetMobile magazines, the cover of Nature Biomedical Engineering, and IEEE Top Picks in Hardware and Embedded Security. His research also led to invited publications at prestigious venues, including Science, JSSC, TBioCAS, MICRO, ISSCC, and IEDM. He has been serving as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems (TVLSI) and a technical program committee member of ISSCC, CICC, and DAC.
