Our team
energHius exists to make battery-free IoT a reality at scale. Built on over 20 years of custom IC design research, our team develops the technology to harvest ambient energy efficiently enough to power the next generation of autonomous, zero-waste sensors, and is now bringing it to market as a fabless semiconductor company.
Product design and development
Óscar
Pereira Rial
CTO & Co-founder
PhD in Physics (ultra-low power microelectronics) from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Spent his research career designing the very circuits that would become Nanostart™, from first prototype to silicon-validated chip. At energHius, Óscar leads all chip architecture and technical development.
Scientific consultant team
Our scientific advisory team brings together four senior researchers from CiTIUS with a combined track record of over 250 peer-reviewed publications in microelectronics, CMOS design, and energy harvesting systems. The group has participated in several European research projects, including MISEL and MENELAOS, and continues to be actively involved in funded research at the frontier of low-power integrated circuit design. The research that gave rise to Nanostart™ was developed within this group over more than two decades. At energHius, they serve as a bridge between fundamental technology development and industry, providing scientific oversight on chip design, device physics, IP strategy, and technology commercialization.
