Key research themes
1. How can wireless power transmission systems be optimized for efficient, high-power electric vehicle charging?
This research theme focuses on advancing wireless power transmission (WPT) technologies tailored for electric vehicle (EV) charging to enhance efficiency, power density, alignment tolerance, and system safety. It explores compensation topologies, coil designs, power electronics, control techniques, and electromagnetic field exposure management essential to realize dynamic and static wireless EV charging systems that meet practical operational requirements.
2. What advances have been made in near-field wireless power transfer for biomedical implants and low-power devices?
This theme addresses the development of near-field wireless power transfer technologies—inductive coupling, magnetic resonant coupling, and capacitive coupling—for powering biomedical implants (BMIs) and low-power IoT devices. It investigates coil designs, operating frequencies, power transfer efficiency, biocompatibility, thermal effects, and specific absorption rate (SAR) constraints critical for safe and reliable operation in biological tissue.
3. How can electromagnetic safety, efficiency, and power loss mitigation be addressed in wireless power transmission systems?
Research in this theme centers on reducing power losses, managing electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, and improving the operational safety of wireless power transmission (WPT) systems across varying applications. Techniques investigated include sensor-based energy transmission control, phased array beamforming for directionality, energy harvesting regulation, and measurement-driven risk assessment congruent with regulatory exposure limits.
