Dr. Anju Toor, UC Berkeley
Abstract:
The flurry of recent progress in electronics (both sensing and compute) for small-scale, low-cost applications promises a future filled with ambient embedded systems. However, a key question remains – how will these systems be powered? The advances in designing energy storage systems that meet the same size and power requirement have not kept up with electronics. And without such low-cost and sustainable power sources, this potential remains locked away!
In this talk, I will first overview my work to develop sub-cm2 printed Li-ion batteries with high energy density and their effectiveness as a power source for MEMS-based wireless sensor nodes. Secondly, I will talk about the cooperative self-assembly of nanoparticles and how that can be leveraged for the design of next-generation energy storage systems. Then, I will describe printed, flexible electrochemical sensors. Finally, I will discuss future directions in energy materials and manufacturing approaches to enable energy autonomous systems.
Bio:
Anju Toor is a researcher in Nanomaterials for Energy Systems. She is currently a Bakar Innovation Fellow at UC Berkeley with Ana Arias and Kris Pister working on Printed On-Chip Integrated Micro batteries and Flexible, Printed Energy Storage Systems. She earned an MS in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley where she worked with Albert Pisano and collaborated closely with Thomas Russell and Brett Helms at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her research focuses on advanced energy materials, printed electronics, energy storage systems, and self-assembly. She has also spent time in the Semiconductor Process Integration at Intel. She was named EECS Rising Star and selected for The Rising Stars Women in Engineering Workshop in Asia.
