Profs. Salman and Stanacevic Research Wirelessly Powered Computing Devices

Salman and StanacevicAssociate Professors Emre Salman and Milutin Stanaćević are inventing new methods to use wireless energy in computing devices. Contrary to existing methods that convert wirelessly harvested power into a direct current (DC) voltage and rely on conventional computing methodologies, Salman and Stanacevic propose an alternating current (AC) computing based system where the wirelessly harvested power is directly used for computation without converting into a DC voltage.
