Research Internship at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
Visiting Student Researcher – IMPACT Lab
Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Atif Shamim
Location: Thuwal, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Duration: June 2025 – July 2025
During my research internship at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, I worked on the development of a wireless power receiver system for smart medical bandages. The project focused on designing compact RF energy-harvesting systems suitable for wearable biomedical applications.
Research Contributions:
Research Contributions:
Designed a compact 2.4 GHz rectenna system consisting of a 5 cm × 6 cm wearable inverted-F antenna (IFA) and a 3 cm × 2 cm rectifier circuit.
Achieved 68% simulated RF-to-DC conversion efficiency using Keysight Advanced Design System and ANSYS HFSS.
Investigated wireless power transfer for biomedical energy harvesting, targeting wearable healthcare devices such as smart bandages.
Gained hands-on experience with inkjet printing of RF circuits and experimental RF characterization of the rectenna system.
Evaluated performance under human-body proximity and realistic load conditions for wearable deployment.
