Marin Soljačić (born February 7, 1974) is a Croatian physicist and electrical engineer known for wireless non-radiative energy transfer.
[edit] Biography
Marin Soljačić was born in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1974. After graduating from XV Gimnazija in Zagreb (MIOC) he got a scholarship from MIT where he got his BSc in physics and electrical engineering in 1996. [1] In 1998 he got his MSc from Princeton University and in 2000 he got his PhD in Physics. In 2005 he became a professor of Physics at MIT. [2]
[edit] Work
In 2007 Marin Soljačić and his assistants successfully made the first efficient non-radiative power transfer at a distance of 2 meters turning on a 60 W light bulb. Energy transfer was 40% percent efficient. [3]
