    Contribution: Meninger and I wrote this paper in collaboration. Meninger is an expert in Very-Low-Power electronics and designed a controller for his Master’s thesis, “A Low Power Controller for a MEMS Based Energy Converter”. The underlying theory, the converter design and the power electronics are included in my doctoral thesis, “Electrostatic Vibration-to-Electric Energy Conversion”.
    Impact: This is the first published design of an electrostatic vibration-to-electric energy converter. Other papers have implemented our design or used our theoretical analysis. Our work has been cited by 605 documents according to Google Scholar, and 260 according to Web of Science with new citations added regularly as of 2013, twelve years later.
