Ph.D. Student Presents Energy Harvesting Research at NASA

In a recent presentation to NASA, Sangare discussed his research in energy transfer and harvesting techniques that can be used to power the next-generation of wireless networks.

“What we are trying to do is harvest signals from the air,” said Sangare. “Instead of using a power source through a plug or battery, we are trying to get energy from radio signals that we can harvest and convert into a DC voltage used to power the device.”
