He shares this honor with his Ph.D. students, Boris Alexandrov and Khondker Zakir Ahmed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe title of their award-winning paper is \u201cAn On-Chip Autonomous Thermoelectric Energy Management System for Energy-Efficient Active Cooling.\u201d Thermal management is a key challenge for today\u2019s integrated circuits (IC) operation. In the past, researchers have studied the use of thermoelectric coolers (TEC), which provide additional cooling when a current is passed through the device, for on-chip cooling. Embedding a TE module (TEM) within the package has shown potential for on-demand cooling of ICs, but the need for this additional energy reduces the effectiveness of TECs and has been a key concern for their use.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis work presents and experimentally demonstrates a major step to alleviate this challenge. Mukhopadhyay and his team have developed an on-chip thermoelectric energy management system for energy-efficient, on-demand active cooling of integrated circuits. The proposed on-chip system monitors the IC temperature and provides cooling during critical thermal events by sending a current through the TEM. When the temperature is not high enough, the same TEM is used to harvest the otherwise wasted heat energy generated by the IC and reduce the net cooling energy. The design is implemented in a CMOS test-chip and tested with a thermoelectric device. The successful demonstration of this control system will fuel innovations in thermoelectric devices, as well as in the architectural techniques to address the thermal challenges of future processors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E******************************************\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPictured in the above photo from left to right are\u0026nbsp;Khondker Zakir Ahmed, ECE Associate Professor Saibal Mukhopadhyay, and Boris Alexandrov.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Associate Professor Saibal Mukhopadhyay and two of his Ph.D. students won the Best Paper Award at the IEEE\/ACM International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED), which was held August 11-13 in La Jolla, California.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor Saibal Mukhopadhyay and two of his Ph.D. students won the Best Paper Award at the IEEE\/ACM International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED), which was held August 11-13 in La Jolla, California."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2014-08-19 15:14:29","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:16:56","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-08-28T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-08-28T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"319821":{"id":"319821","type":"image","title":"ISLPED 2014 Best Paper Award Winners","body":null,"created":"1449244997","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:03:17","changed":"1475895029","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:50:29","alt":"ISLPED 2014 Best Paper Award Winners","file":{"fid":"200072","name":"edited-2951-jln.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/edited-2951-jln_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/edited-2951-jln_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3264254,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/edited-2951-jln_0.jpg?itok=i5NFFKN1"}}},"media_ids":["319821"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=156","title":"Saibal Mukhopadhyay"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/research\/labs\/GREEN\/","title":"Gigascale Reliable Energy Efficient Nanosystem Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.islped.org\/2014\/index.html","title":"2014 IEEE\/ACM International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"154","name":"Environment"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"99471","name":"Gigascale Reliable Energy Efficient Nanosystem Lab"},{"id":"100181","name":"IEEE\/ACM International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED)"},{"id":"166900","name":"Saibal Mukhopadhyay"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
