Gabriel A. Rincon-Mora

Gabriel Alfonso Rincón-Mora (born 1972) is a Venezuelan-American electrical engineer, scientist, professor, inventor, and author[1] who was elevated to the grade of Fellow by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2011[2] and to the grade of Fellow by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in 2009 for his contributions to energy-harvesting and power-conditioning integrated circuits (ICs). Hispanic Business Magazine voted him one of "The 100 Most Influential Hispanics" in 2000,[3] the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) awarded him the National Hispanic in Technology Award in 2000,[4][5] Florida International University (FIU) awarded him the Charles E. Perry Visionary Award in 2000,[6] the Georgia Institute of Technology inducted him into its Council of Outstanding Young Engineering Alumni in 2000,[7] and former Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante of California presented him a Commendation Certificate in 2001.

Biography

Rincón-Mora was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1972, grew up in Maracay, and migrated to North Miami Beach in the United States when he was 11 years old. He graduated from North Miami Beach Senior High School in 1989, from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1992, Georgia Tech with a Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering with a Minor in Mathematics in 1994, and Georgia Tech with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1996 with a dissertation on "Current Efficient, Low Voltage, Low Dropout Regulators" (Advisor: Prof. Phil Allen).[8]

He worked for Texas Instruments from 1994-2003, was an Adjunct Professor for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech in 1999-2001, and has been a Professor at Georgia Tech since 2001 and a Visiting Professor at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan since 2011.

Professional work

He has written several books, chapters of others, and over 160 other publications. His work has generated 38 patents. He has designed over 26 commercial power-chip designs and delivered over 95 presentations worldwide.[9] as of October 2014 his publications had been cited over 5200 times.[10]

His work and research is on the design and development of silicon-based microsystems that draw and condition power from tiny batteries, fuel cells, and generators that harness ambient energy from motion, light, temperature, and radiation to supply mobile, portable, and self-sustaining devices such as wireless microsensors for biomedical, consumer, industrial, and military applications. He has worked on voltage references, low-dropout regulators, switching dc-dc converters, and energy-harvesting microsystems.[11]
