Maryland Shaping Energy and Minds (M-SEM)

Hanbing Liu WPT for Implantable Medical Devices Hanbing joined the group in Fall 2023 as a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. He holds a B.S. degree in Physical Electronics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). His current research focuses on wireless power transmission for medical devices. Outside academia, he enjoys staying active with workouts and exploring new destinations through travel.

Junshan Liu Multi-Phase Current-Mode Power Amplifiers Junshan joined the group in Fall 2024 as a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. He received a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Southwest Jiaotong University in 2021 and a M.S. degree from the State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation and Power Equipment, School of Electrical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2024. His current research focuses on multi-phase current-mode power amplifier. During his spare time, he enjoys traveling and playing computer games and sports.

Temiladeola 'Temi' Oladugba Wide-Range Switched-Mode Power Amplifiers Temi joined the group in Fall 2024 as a first-year PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Maryland, College Park. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineerings from the University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria. Prior to beginning his PhD at the University of Maryland, he worked briefly as an embedded systems engineer, developing remote monitoring and control systems for residential solar power systems. Currently, his research focuses on high-frequency power converters that can work over a wide-range of load impedances and power levels.

GEMSTONE Undergraduate VISTA Team Virtual Interactive STEM Teaching Aids The VISTA Team is composed of seven undergraduate students from diverse academic backgrounds, working under the guidance of Prof. Zan for three years until graduation. Our project focuses on developing remote access to physical labs, promoting inclusion, equity, and diversity in STEM education. The team members, listed from left to right in the accompanying photo, are: Nickey Zhang (Letters and Sciences), Harshil Agarwal (Computer Science), Daniel Kim (Computer Science), Alexander Campbell (Computer Science), Benjamin Nathan (Computer Engineering), Ayolani Akinwale (Computer Science), and Markell Morris (Mechanical Engineering). Together, we bring a multi-disciplinary approach to advancing remote learning in STEM fields.
