About Us
Jonathan Scharf
Jonathan is a senior electrical engineering student who interested in a research career in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. Currently, Jonathan performs research under Professor Qiangfei Xia at UMass Amherst on developing high performance memristor nanodevices for non-volatile memory applications. After graduation, Jonathan will pursue a Ph.D. with a focus in physical electronics and clean energy harvesting.
In the project, his responsibilities includes: constructing the transmitter and receiver coils, developing the tunable impedance matching network, and creating the PCB Layout for the final project implementation.
Steve Bevacqua
Steven Bevacqua is a senior electrical engineering student with an interest in power and RF. His responsibilities include the power supply, oscillator, and buffer stages of the transmitter. Additionally, the rectifier and DC-DC regulator on the receiver to supply the phone with power.
Spencer Pietryka
Spencer Pietryka is an EE with an interest in RF and microwave engineering. His responsibilities include the control circuitry that will measure the standing wave on the transmitter and tune the impedance matching network to optimize the power transfer.
