Student Spotlight: Pavel Maksimov

Pavel Maksimov is a recent graduate of the Department of Physics and Astronomy who studied condensed matter physics, specifically “frustrated” magnets. He decided to study this topic when his advisor, Professor Sasha Chernyshev, suggested it to him. A lot of the calculations can be done analytically, which is something that Pavel was drawn to. He…Continue Reading Student Spotlight: Pavel Maksimov

Microwave Generation from Electronic Device Heating

As we know from experience with our mobile electronics, heavy usage heats things up. As devices consume energy for work, a non-negligible amount of energy is wasted as heat. Not only is this unideal from a conservation standpoint, but it is generally not good for the electronics either. This is especially a problem as device…Continue Reading Microwave Generation from Electronic Device Heating
