PLEASE JOIN OUR FRIDAY SEMINARS
The CCCN-CityU-PolyU Joint Seminar Series began in 2001, and has since become regular weekly meetings for visitors, faculty, researchers and students to discuss latest progresses in their research.
The next seminar is:
| Date & Time: | September 19, 2025, Friday, 4:30pm-5:30pm |
| Title: | Design and Application of Capacitive Power Transfer Systems |
| Speaker: | Dr Ying Cathy Liu, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin |
| Venue: | FYW-3316, CityU Zoom ID 859 8869 4437 Password 123456 |
| Abstract: |
Capacitive power transfer (CPT) technology is a non-contact power transfer over a certain distance by means of displacement current, which has higher efficiency and power density for short to medium transfer distances (millimeter scale) compared to inductive power transfer (IPT) technology. Despite its great potential advantages, CPT technology is far behind IPT technology and has not yet been applied in the market. In this talk, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities in the research area of CPT technology. Specifically, this talk will cover the following key topics: 1) The development of CPT technology; 2) Difference between CPT and IPT and challenges CPT faces; 3) Design and implementation methods of CPT converters for specific applications. |
| Speaker's Bio: |
Ying Liu received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 2014, 2016, and 2023, respectively. She also received a Ph.D. degree in power electronics from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, in 2021. She joined Harbin Institute of Technology in 2023, where she is currently an Associate Research Fellow of electrical engineering. Now she also serves as a visiting Research Fellow at City University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on wireless power transfer, including capacitive power transfer and its applications, inductive power transfer for implant medical devices, underwater power supply and so on. |
Our Mission
The Centre for Complexity and Complex Networks aims to conduct emerging and cutting-edge research in the multidisciplinary area of complex systems and networks, including fundamental theory in dynamical networked systems and cyber physical systems, and applications in
- epidemic progression modelling
- energy systems and power grids
- information and communication systems
- transportation networks
- resilience of critical infrastructures
- cryptocurreny and blockchains
- business and finance
Through the significant and groundbreaking contributions of its members to the fundamental theory of nonlinear science and applications over the past 20 more years, the centre has established itself as one of the leading research centres in the world focusing on nonlinear science, complexity and complex systems.
Our centre promotes inter-institutional and interdisciplinary collaborations, and supports the industrial and business development of Hong Kong and the mainland via technology transfer and joint research projects.
