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 collaborators in academia and industry. We are actively working with: the Loughborough University, University of Southampton, University of British Columbia, University of Rome II Tor Vergata, and others. Our industrial collaborators include: Hitachi, Arm, Keysight, and many others, in addition to government and 3rd sector collaborations, e.g. National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

Highlighted Publications:

Our special issue invited contribution 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.
