| Title | Optimizing First-Generation Low-Frequency Metasurfaces for Enhanced Wireless Power Transfer |
| Summary | The next generation of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems will transition from planar designs to three-dimensional (3D) systems, providing enhanced flexibility and greater degrees of freedom. However, current 3D-WPT technologies face two significant challenges that hinder their practical applications in unmanned factories, underwater bases, and wireless charging environments. Firstly, power transfer lacks directionality, leading to unintended receivers capturing excess power from transmitters. Secondly, system efficiency remains suboptimal. To tackle these issues, this project will focus on developing low-frequency metamaterials tailored for WPT systems. Emphasizing fundamental research at TRL-1, the student will collaborate with one research staff member and one postgraduate research student to optimize the version-I metasurfaces previously designed in the laboratory. The success of this project has the potential to propel the development of next-generation 3D-WPT systems, accelerating industrial automation and contributing to Singapore’s carbon reduction initiatives. |
