  Aasrith Ganti received his B.S. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the JNT University in 2008 and M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2014. Presently he is a part of the development team at Philips Healthcare. His main research interests are wireless power transfer, energy harvesting, and semiconductor devices.
  Jenshan Lin received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, USA, in 1994. He was with AT & T Bell Laboratories (which later became Lucent Bell Labs), Murray Hill, NJ, USA, from 1994 to 2001, and its spin-off Agere Systems from 2001 to 2003. In July 2003, he joined the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, as an Associate Professor and became a Professor in August 2007. He has authored or co-authored over 250 technical publications in refereed journals and conferences proceedings, and holds 14 US patents. His research interests include sensors and biomedical applications of microwave and millimeter-wave technologies, wireless power transfer, RF-integrated circuits, and antennas. He is a Fellow of IEEE and currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques for the term of 2014–2016.
  Raul A. Chinga received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Florida in 2008 and 2013, respectively. His dissertation work concentrated on high efficient power amplifiers for DBD plasma generation for sterilization applications. In addition, he concentrated on wireless power transfer systems via inductive coupling for near field and midrange applications. During his time at the University of Florida, he was awarded the Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship in 2008, the Graduate Research Fellowship Honorable Mention award by NSF in 2010, and the Varosi Scholarship in 2012. His is currently working at Space Systems Loral in Palo Alto, California, working on various aspects of the spacecraft power system.
  Shuhei Yoshida received his M.S. degree from Keio University, Japan in 2007. His dissertation work concentrated on high efficient wireless power transfer systems and its applications. He is currently working at NEC Corporation in Japan, working on various aspects of the wireless power transfer system
