Project description

Imagine a world where electromagnetic (EM) waves not only transmit data but also locate and track moving devices in real time, focus beams on them, and deliver continuous power without physical wires or batteries. This is the core motivation of this project: to develop compact, efficient wireless power transfer (WPT), sensing, and communication systems for dynamic scenarios by using programmable intelligent surfaces, AI-driven adaptive beam control, and rectifying systems. By bridging EM theory, signal processing, AI, and circuit design, it solves key limitations of current WPT, including poor mobility tracking, bulky and costly hardware, short transfer distances, and severe energy loss. By reducing maintenance needs and electronic waste through sustainable wireless energy delivery, the program will have a large impact in Europe’s green transition and establish a distinctive research profile in next-generation wireless power systems for smart cities, healthcare, and autonomous devices.
