Sutardja Dai Hall

CITRIS-BWRC-BSAC-CIEE Commercialization Conference

This multi-center group will host a workshop for venture and corporate investors interested in energy-related communications & control applications. Several applications using MEMS, ultra-low power radio communications, environmental energy scavenging for remote sensors and printable energy storage will be described. The research was funded in-part by the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program.

Attendance requires pre-registration for the afternoon BSAC event or invitation from PIER (email: caron10@aol.com).
(Open to Public Register for ONLY the CITRIS-BWRC-BSAC-CIEE event)
