Electrical engineering researchers develop technology that turns any surface into a wireless charger for many electronic devices, including drones
Kaushik Chowdhury, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, is working with former graduate student Yousof Naderi to develop technology that transforms any surface into a smart wireless charger to power several devices simultaneously. This system can also be used to power more complex gadgets, such as airborne drones. Photo by Ruby Wallau/Northeastern University
