WPI Experts

Wireless networking has made it easier than ever to connect with other people and information. So, what comes next? How will high speed wireless connections transform technological capabilities? 

Alexander Wyglinski, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and wireless expert, can speak about current technology and future possibilities in connected cars, expanded communications capacities that rely on satellites, and connected devices that support healthcare and at-home patient monitoring. Whether it’s vehicles that can share data with each other to improve driver and passenger safety or wireless signals that originate in space for more reliable and accessible coverage on Earth, Wyglinski can explain what’s possible and why. 

WPI will receive a $5 million award from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to establish the Central Massachusetts Climatetech Hub Incubator to accelerate the commercialization of emerging clean energy, materials, and sustainable technologies.

“The incubator will serve as a regionally shared, translational platform, where startups can accelerate the path from breakthrough research to real-world deployment—particularly in carbon-negative materials, waste upcycling, and sustainable infrastructure,” said Terry Adams, principal investigator on the project and director of WPI’s Office of Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
