Neda Zahedi Saadabad

As a third-year Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering at ETS University, I specialize in power and energy systems, focusing on pioneering advancements in wireless power transfer (WPT). Over the past two years, my research has been dedicated to the development of self-compensated WPT systems aimed at revolutionizing efficiency in comparison to traditional methods. Our innovative approach eliminates the reliance on external capacitors, a significant breakthrough that not only enhances efficiency but also ensures robust performance. By meticulously optimizing coil designs, we've achieved exceptional quality factors, facilitating seamless and efficient power transfer.
