Their goal? A tet her-free world. It is only in the past ten years that this has become real ity. With the help of semiconductor devices\, electromagnetic materials\, and microcomputers\, we can now not only charge a cell phone wirelessly\, but we can also charge an electric car or a humongous electric ship withou t plugging it in. In this talk\, Professor Chris Mi will look at how his w ork has made wireless power transfer cheaper\, faster\, safer and more eff icient\, enabling cable-free conference rooms\, battery-less drones\, and factories populated by untethered robots and autonomous vehicles.\n\nBio: Dr. Mi is the Professor and Chair of the Department of Electrical and Comp uter Engineering at San Diego State University. He is a Fellow of IEEE (In stitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and SAE (Society of Autom otive Engineers). He is also the Director of the US Department of Energy-f unded Graduate Automotive Technology Education (GATE) Center for Electric Drive Transportation at SDSU. He was previously a faculty member at the Un iversity of Michigan-Dearborn from 2001 to 2015\, and an Electrical Engine er with General Electric from 2000 to 2001. He also served as the CTO of 1 Power Solutions from 2008 to 2011. Dr. Mi received his Ph. D from the Univ ersity of Toronto\, Canada\, in 2001.\n\nDr. Mi has won numerous awards\, including the “Distinguished Teaching Award” and “Distinguished Rese arch Award” from the University of Michigan-Dearborn\, IEEE Region 4 “ Outstanding Engineer Award\,” IEEE Southeastern Michigan Section “Outs tanding Professional Award\,” and SAE “Environmental Excellence in Tra nsportation (E2T) Award.” He is the recipient of three Best Paper Awards from IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and the 2017 ECCE Student Dem onstration Award. In 2019\, he received the Inaugural IEEE Power Electroni cs Emerging Technology Award. In 2022\, he received the Albert W. Johnson Lecture Award and named the Distinguished Professor\, the highest honor fo r any given to a SDSU faculty member\, and only one award is given each ye ar.\n\nDr. Mi has received over $5.8 million in research funding since joi ning SDSU in 2015. He has published five books\, 204 journal papers\, 126 conference papers\, and 25 issued and pending patents.
