Biography

Huib Visser is a part-time professor in the 'Wireless Data Power Transfer Miniature Environment-Independent Electronics' research group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), specifically within the Department of Electrical Engineering. He holds a primary affiliation with IMEC Netherlands Holst Centre Eindhoven, where he leads research in Wireless Power Transfer. His research focus includes optimizing receive antennas and rectifying circuits, known as rectennas, and employing distributed phased array antenna technology for creating high energy density 'bubbles' while adhering to transmit power limits. Huib has extensive expertise in modeling and designing antennas and antenna systems, including near-field antenna measurement, and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) design. He is the author of several books on antenna technology and serves as the chief editor for the Journal Netherlands Electronics Radio Society (NERG), where he is also a board member. Huib holds four patents related to his field and has a vision for a hyper-connected world where wireless sensors can be charged remotely over significant distances.
