Yves Audet

Yves Audet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, affiliated with three centers of excellence: Industry of the Future and Digital Society (primary), Energy, Water and Resources, and Transport and Sustainable Infrastructure. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sherbrooke University and a Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University.

His research bridges integrated circuit design, energy systems, and microsensor technology, with focus areas including:

• Ultra-low power CMOS circuits for energy harvesting
• High-speed isolated data communication (capacitive/inductive)
• Spectral imaging sensors and Hall-effect isolators
• Radiation-hardened avionics systems
• Photovoltaic and RF power conversion

Analysis of his 62 publications reveals strong emphasis on:

• Optimizing power-delay tradeoffs in communication systems (7 recent papers on isolators)
• Advancing start-up circuits for sub-50mV energy harvesters
• Developing miniaturized sensor interfaces for IoT/industrial applications
• Improving fault tolerance in FPGAs and avionics

He has supervised 19 graduate students (6 PhD, 13 Master's) working on projects spanning CMOS spectrometers, UAV wireless charging, and radiation-hardened circuits. No awards are documented, but he holds 2 patents in CMOS photodetection technology.
