We present induction-heated resonant reactors, a new concept in electrified thermochemistry in which the reactor itself serves as a volumetric electromagnetic resonator heated through resonant wireless power transfer. We use the Swiss roll resonator as a model system and show that it can be designed to support uniform volumetric heating profiles and enhanced heat transfer characteristics, creating opportunities for process intensification in scaled systems. Compared to conventional (i.e., non-resonant) induction heating systems, resonant reactors can achieve exceptionally high system efficiencies through the combination of near-unity power-to-heat efficiencies and low thermal losses, both enabled by the utilization of resonant energy transfer. These concepts demonstrate how the integration of electromagnetic power transduction with thermochemical reaction engineering enables new opportunities for utilizing green electricity in sustainable chemical conversion.
Depot charging of electric bus fleets must minimize electricity costs, respect grid limits, and remain feasible despite uncertain trip energy demand. While cost-optimal charging is well studied, its value under different electricity prices and grid connection capacities, as well…
Batteryless overlays couple passive throughput to Wi-Fi sounding overhead and channel state information (CSI) aging. This paper investigates channel sounding for ultra-high reliability (UHR) operation in a Wi-Fi 8/IEEE 802.11bn-inspired downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple…
Flexible electronics (FE) platforms rely on analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits - biosensors, readout front-ends, and analog-to-digital converters - that dominate both functionality and energy consumption, making on-chip clock generation an essential yet power-critical functio…
We propose a conformal prediction framework for quantifying the error of physics-based predictors used in control, where simple models are preferred for synthesis, certification, and real-time use. Because these models are selected for compatibility with the intended application…
Post hurricane distribution system restoration requires rapid repair scheduling subject to feeder topology, field logistics, and electrical feasibility. This paper presents a quantum inspired quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) assisted adaptive large neighborhood…
In this paper, we construct a Fleming-Viot particle system for a class of subcritical Bellman-Harris processes. We prove that it selects the Yaglom limit at a polynomial rate in the number of particles. Since lifetimes are non-exponential, the population size is not Markov, and t…
