Engr. Christopher G. Santos, an assistant professor at the UP Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute, has been a faculty member since 2013 and has been teaching courses, mostly on electronics and circuit analysis. His research involvement has been focused on low power integrated circuits for sensing and communication and currently also interested in biomedical applications and flexible electronics.

His research interests include: Integrated Circuits for Low Power Sensor Nodes, Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits and Systems, Circuits for Biomedical Applications, and Flexible Electronics. Among their published several studies and papers are SmartWire Project, Optimal Oversampling Using Probabilistic Error Modeling in Low-Power Digital Energy Detection Receivers, and the A Switched-Capacitor Filter for Channel Selection on a Smart Grid Wireless Sensor Network in 65-nm CMOS Process Technology. He has presented in numerous conferences as well including the International System-on-Chip Design Conference (ISOCC), and the International Symposium on Multimedia and Communication Technology.

His most recent work is on “SmartWire Project”, a research project aimed at developing a fully integrated sensor node with both power line and RF energy harvesting and communication capabilities for a large scale, low-maintenance sensor network for smart power grid monitoring.

Engr. Christopher graduated Magna cum laude also from the University of the PhilippinesUP Diliman, with a BS degree in Computer Engineeringfrom the University of the Philippines Diliman. He took, while his M.S. degree is in Electrical Engineering. He is currently taking his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
