Power-Autonomous Wireless Sensors for a Carbon-Free Future Self-powered sensing is redefining how we monitor critical infrastructure—offering a smarter, safer, and more sustainable path to a carbon-free future. This seminar introduces power-autonomous wireless sensor networks that operate without batteries or wiring by harvesting ambient energy from airflow and mechanical motion.

Deployed in challenging environments like offshore wind turbines, gas pipelines, and advanced vehicles, these systems enable continuous, real-time health monitoring. The talk will explore innovations in energy harvesting, ultra-low-power electronics, and embedded machine learning. Aligned with net-zero goals, this interdisciplinary approach lays the foundation for major research opportunities

 

Speaker:
Dr Sayed Masabi Sayed Masabi completed his BEng in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hull (2018) and graduated from University of Leeds with a MSc in Renewable Energy Systems (2019). He joined the Wolfson School at Loughborough University as a doctoral researcher in 2021 (PhD awarded in 2024), where he established novel concepts of nonlinear micro-scale generators to enable power-autonomous sensing in healthcare, energy and automotive sectors.

After his PhD, he continued in Wolfson School as a Research Associate in Aircraft Energy Harvesting. In 2025, he progressed as a Vice Chancellor Independent Research Fellow, where he leads and collaborates with industrial network to advance the future of self-powered wireless sensor networks to tackle the monitoring challenges in nuclear, wind energy and propulsion sectors.
