But when it comes to implantable medical devi ces (IMD)\, WPT is a must have for a large majority of IMDs\, such as coch lear implants\, retinal prostheses\, invasive brain-computer interfaces\, and ventricular assist devices\, even though there are ultra low power IMD s that still run on primary batteries\, such as pacemakers. In this talk\, you will learn about the fundamentals\, design\, optimization\, and some of the latest developments in key building blocks of a WPT system for IMD applications. You will learn about design targets\, priorities\, and chall enges as well as alternative approaches to power up and communicate with I MDs.\n\nSpeaker's Bio:\n\nMaysam Ghovanloo received the B.S. degree in ele ctrical engineering from the University of Tehran\, the M.S. degree in bio medical engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology\, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Mi chigan in Ann Arbor in 2003 and 2004\, respectively.
