IEM Seminar series in Advanced Manufacturing and Sustainability : Energy Autonomous Systems
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!
About the speaker:
Anju Toor is a researcher at UC Berkeley. She earned an MS in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley. She has also spent time in the Semiconductor Process Integration at Intel.
