About
Chadd Kiggins is a leading innovator in the design of high-performance microbatteries, a critical enabler for the next generation of tiny, connected devices in medicine, wearables, and robotics. His most cited work introduces a nearly packaging-free design paradigm that directly addresses the fundamental conflict between the shrinking size of electronics and the scaling laws of energy storage. By rethinking how microbatteries are constructed, Kiggins has demonstrated a path to power sources that are simultaneously lighter, more powerful, and more energy-dense than conventional designs. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2021 paper (37 citations), offers a transformative solution for powering billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices where battery size and weight are the primary performance bottlenecks. Kiggins’s research is not just about incremental improvement; it fundamentally reimagines the architecture of microbatteries, making him a key figure in the push to realize truly autonomous and capable microsystems. His work is essential reading for anyone developing next-generation portable and implantable electronics.
