# Research Themes
The Department has organized its research in several tracks or
research themes, each consisting of a number of related
projects.
[### XG - Next Generation Sensing and Communication
The XG theme aims to pioneer the next generation of wireless sensing and communication systems with high functionality and low ecological footprint.](https://microelectronics.tudelft.nl/Research/theme.php?id=10)
[### Health and Wellbeing
Biomedical electronics, sensors, devices, signal processing, and systems](https://microelectronics.tudelft.nl/Research/theme.php?id=11)
[### Autonomous sensor systems
In autonomous sensor systems, individual sensor nodes need to be able to operate autonomously with very little external intervention. In a system, the nodes operate in a network and optimize their behavior by communicating with their neighbors.](https://microelectronics.tudelft.nl/Research/theme.php?id=53)
