Kai Li, PhD, Postdoc
Electrical Engineering, Physics
I'm a Postdoc of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Northeastern University, Boston, USA. I am a member of the Genesys Lab under the guidance of Professor Kaushik Chowdhury
Research Interests
Kai Li's research is mainly focused on theoretical analysis, operation system design aspects of:
Magnetic Resonant Wireless Power Transfer: Strong Coupling between resonators for maximum power transfer, energy hopping via reconfigurable resonator relays for large charging surface with arbitrary power density, at 6.78MHz frequency
​
Magnetic Resonant Sensing : Strong Coupling in dual-coil design, low power and higher sensing distance over larger surface for objection detection, classification and car robot tracking at 100-200 kHz
​
Nanophotonics and Plasmonics: Surface Plasmon Polariton combine with grephene in the application of optical waveguide, Talbot Effect, and perfect absorber from terahertz to light frequency
​
Meta-Surface Wireless Power Transfer: Comprehensive Operation System for more advanced and intelligent power control, power density, power orientation
​
Quantum Communication: Large scale, adaptive quantum network for intelligent quantum information processing
