Welcome to another great episode of Our World Without Wires. Today, Paul Mitcheson joins us from Imperial College London. Dr. Mitcheson is a researcher and highly regarded expert in energy harvesting systems, wireless power transfer, and power electronics. He sits on the executive committee of the UK Power Electronics Center and is a co-founder of the Imperial College wireless power spin-off company, Bumblebee. In this episode, Paul will introduce Bumblebee Power, talk about their project to wirelessly charge scooters, and share how they use a higher frequency to meet market expectations.

Today, on Our World Without Wires, we are joined by Professor Naoki Shinohara from Kyoto University, a prolific researcher, author, and wireless power industry expert with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Dr. Shinohara is going to discuss RF wireless power transfer technology, the current regulatory landscape, and the importance of standards in advancing the wireless power industry. Welcome to another great episode of our world without wires!

With the proliferation of charging cables, bricks, and cords that vary from device to device, the European Union has handed down a mandate that common consumer electronics sold in the EU will be required to have a USBC charging port, eliminating the need for multiple charging devices, empowering consumer choice and reducing e-waste. Today, our guest is Dinesh Kithany from Watt. Dinesh is a well-established Wireless Power Industry analyst with over 25 years of experience across the technology sector and consumer markets. Dinesh will discuss the reasoning and impact of the new EU universal charger mandate and also help us understand how the wireless power industry is primed to help reduce our dependence on cords and chargers.

In episode 6 of Our World Without Wires. Sanjay welcomes D’Arcee Neal as our guest, D’Arcee is on a mission to make EV charging accessible to everyone. Formerly working at NASA and the Department of labor, he is a fourth-year doctoral candidate at the Ohio State University in English and Disabilities Studies. Born with cerebral palsy, D’Arcee has lived his life in a wheelchair, but it doesn’t define who he is today. As a professional storyteller, he works to tell stories of Afro-phantasmic or black disabled people who exist as phantoms within the community. Most importantly, he believes that the future can and should be accessible to everyone, not just the able-bodied. And wireless power has an important part to play. It’s going to be a great conversation.
