About

Simon Hemour is a leading figure in the field of wireless power transmission and energy harvesting, with a particular focus on millimeter-wave and microwave systems for micro-robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). His most cited work, "Small-footprint wideband 94GHz rectifier for swarm micro-robotics" (2015, 44 citations), exemplifies his pioneering contributions to extreme miniaturization and high-frequency rectification. In this study, Hemour engineered a remarkably compact rectifier operating at 94 GHz, a frequency chosen to optimize the trade-off between receiving antenna size and available transmitter power—a critical challenge for powering autonomous micro-robotic swarms. This work showcases his ability to push the boundaries of circuit design for applications where size, efficiency, and power density are paramount. Beyond this, Hemour’s broader research encompasses the development of novel rectenna architectures, ambient RF energy scavenging, and the integration of these systems into self-powered wireless sensors. His impactful contributions have helped bridge the gap between high-frequency electronics and practical, energy-autonomous devices, making him a key innovator in enabling the next generation of tiny, untethered machines.
