Some of the challenges and opportuni ties in energy harvesting include integration with energy storage systems\ , optimization for specific applications\, and the importance of system-le vel design considerations for maximizing overall efficiency. Emerging tren ds such as hybrid energy harvesting systems and self-powered IoT devices u nderscore the growing significance of energy harvesting in addressing sust ainability challenges and enabling autonomous and ubiquitous sensing techn ologies.\n\nWhen we want to predict the behavior of sound\, one of the mos t important factors to consider is the medium through which it is travelin g. Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. There are al so differences in behavior when sound waves encounter a new medium: some m aterials reflect the sound\, while others absorb it. The effect of differe nt material properties on sound is what drives the research of acoustic me tamaterials\, which are designed to manipulate sound waves for some specif ic purpose.\n\nMetamaterials are engineered structures composed of multipl e traditional real-life materials\, offering exceptional properties that a re impossible to find in traditional materials. Acoustic metamaterials are traditionally used for wave filtering\, acoustic clocking\, and vibration control. In filtering the wave\, acoustic metamaterials either use the pr inciple of Bragg scattering or local resonance. While the local resonance phenomenon traps/localizes the strain energy inside the metamaterial\, thi s talk highlights how this trapped energy can be extracted by converting i t to electrical potential. Hence\, the metamaterial can perform dual opera tions simultaneously\, wave filtration and energy harvesting. The harveste d electric energy can then be used to power low-power electronic devices\, such as powering pacemakers from heartbeats\, and powering cellphones fro m car/human vibration. We will also talk about models developed for simult aneous heat energy guiding/control and energy harvesting.\n\nThis presenta tion will count for 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) for the PE Licen se in Wisconsin and Michigan.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Riaz Ahmed\, \n\nAgenda: \n5:30 Social time\, cash bar open\n\n6:15 Order meals from restaurant men u\n\n6:30 Dinner served\n\n7:00 (or as meals are finished) Section announc ements\, door prize drawing\,\nFeatured Speaker - Dr. Riaz Ahmed\n\n8:00 ( approximately) Wrap up - final comments\n\nReservations should be received by Wednesday\, May 8 by registering from this web page.\n\nThe Dinner fee of $20\, will be collected at registration.\n\nIEEE Student Members may a ttend and enjoy dinner at no cost.
