This week, the speakers for the IMG Seminar are:
11:55-12:20 pm: Dr. Alexandra Garraud on "Extending the range of wireless power transmission for bio-implants and wearables"
12:20-12:45 pm: Todd Schumann on "Solely calcine controlled ferroelectric/memristor behavior in barium titanate"
There is an increasing demand for wireless power charging of mobile electronic devices, electric vehicles, biomedical implants and IoT sensor networks. Many of the already available wireless power transmission systems are based on inductive coupling and the size ranges in the cm’s scale, linked to the large surface area requirement. A competing technology is based on an RF approach, with small size chip but impractical power levels of pW to µW, and efficiency close to unity.
Congratulations to Daniel Alabi, Nicolas Garraud and John Varela for winning the Best Poster and the Best Demo Awards at the MIST 2017 Fall Meeting for their project "Chip-Scale MEMS Receivers for Low-Power Wireless Charging."
Advisors: Dr. Alexandra Garraud and Dr. David Arnold
The IMG faculty are pleased to release the first IMG annual report for the calendar year 2016. This document is a record of the group activities, achievements and finances for the previous year. You are encouraged to refer to this document if needed.

The overall goal of this SBIR effort is to develop a rapid, portable system to test for presence and viability of coliform bacteria and E. coli in field water samples. The end system will be portable, battery-powered, reusable, easy to use, and selective to the specific indicator organism.
