Strategic Objectives
• Master the fundamental physics of Maxwell’s equations for energy transfer.
• Optimize inductive linkage to maximize efficiency in deep-tissue applications.
• Navigate the critical thermal constraints of wireless charging in biological environments.
• Design next-generation RF energy harvesting systems for battery-less operation.
