Title Exploring the Potential Risks of High-Frequency Wireless Power Transfer Systems on Human Health
Summary High-frequency wireless power transfer (WPT) systems based on electromagnetic induction have demonstrated promising performance in consumer electronics. However, the electromagnetic fields generated by high-frequency WPT systems may pose potential risks to human health, such as accelerating cancer cell proliferation. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion regarding these health effects. This project aims to investigate the potential biological impact of high-frequency WPT systems, specifically assessing their electromagnetic field effects on cancer cells across frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 100 MHz. The selected student will collaborate with research staff and postgraduate students to evaluate the practical implications of these systems. This project will involve the design of high-frequency WPT systems and corresponding biological tests. The findings from this project will provide crucial insights into the optimal operating frequencies and power levels of high-frequency WPT systems to ensure both efficiency and safety.
