Based in the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow


Green Radio frEquency ENabled Electronics research was funded by a Royal Academy of Engineering and the Office of the Chief Science Adviser for National Security through the U.K. Intelligence Community Research Fellowship, followed by UKRI and EPSRC Support.

We are part of the Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE), the Communication, Sensing, and Imaging (CSI) Hub, and as a founding element of the UKRI Responsible Electronics and Circular Technologies "REACT" Centre.

Our Funders and Projects

"Using electromagnetism as an energy source to power batteries, is of central importance to designing devices for future threat detection [...] I am looking forward with great anticipation to the outcomes of this cutting-edge research."

- Alex van Someren, Chief Scientific Adviser for National Security to HM Government

We have various over 30 collaborators in academia and industry supported by EPSRC, UKRI, Innovate UK, IAAs, and other schemes; get in touch if you are interested in working with us.

Highlighted Publications:

Our invited paper presents the first environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of wireless systems, in the IEEE Journal of Microwaves. The first of GREEN RF studies co-designed with quantifiable environmental constraints.



Demonstrating RF-enabled sensing with exceptional sensitivity, read-range, and a direct wireless readout, we show how collaborative research between flexible/soft electronics, materials, and RF design could contribute to sustainable joint sensing and communication.

Commercialisation:

Our research in wireless-powered sensing is
being commercialised by RX WaTT Ltd.

RX WaTT has been part of the highly selective Octopus Ventures Springboard accelerator, and is now part of STAC, Scotland's leading IoT scale-up platform, through the Infinity-G programme.

We have been supported by the EPSRC IAA, RAEng training programmes, CENSIS Impact Support Programme, and selected in an Innovate UK competition.
