Topic

Powering Wearable and IoT devices through body heat

Abstract

Dr. Sridhar Kasichainula is a pioneer in the field of thin-film thermoelectrics. Since the discovery of Seebeck effect in 1821, traditional thermoelectrics suffered from being bulky, rigid and expensive thus limiting their usage. Nimbus Materials is on a mission to bring thermoelectrics everywhere opening its pathway to Wearable and IoT market.
