Join us for a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer presentation by Mingyu Lu, where he will present his research on wireless power transmission using retro-reflective beamforming for Internet of Things applications. His talk covers the principles and history of the technique, its advantages over other wireless power transmission methods, and theoretical and experimental results demonstrating how microwave power beams can dynamically track and deliver power to mobile wireless receivers. The presentation will also address the practical challenges facing real-world deployment of this technology.

Biography:

Mingyu Lu received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1995 and 1997 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2002. From 2002 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Electromagnetics Laboratory, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington from 2005 to 2012. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, West Virginia University Institute of Technology in 2012, and he is currently a professor. His research interest includes wireless power transmission, the Internet of Things, radar systems, antenna design, and computational electromagnetics. Dr. Lu was the recipient of the first prize award in the student paper competition of the IEEE International Antennas and Propagation Symposium, Boston, MA in 2001. He served as the chair of the Antennas and Propagation Chapter of the IEEE Fort Worth Section from 2006 to 2011. He is currently serving as the treasurer of the IEEE West Virginia Section.
