vehicle in-motion connected to renewable energy, sensors, and cancer treatment. Professor Imura is a member of IEEE, IEICE, and the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (JSAE).

Tomoyuki Miyamoto received his Ph.D (Eng.) in electrical engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1996. He has worked at Tokyo Institute of Technology since then and is currently an Associate Professor at its Institute of Innovative Research. His current research focuses on optical wireless power transmission (OWPT). He is a member of IEEE Photonics Society, IEICE, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ), the Laser Society of Japan (LSJ), and the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP). He also held the first international conference on OWPT in 2019 and was the Conference Chair from 2019 to 2022.

Kazuhiro Fujimori is Associate Professor of Natural Science and Technology at Okayama University. He received his Ph.D (Eng.) in electrical and computer engineering from Yokohama National University in 1999. His research addresses small antennas for mobile communications, active integrated antennas, microwave wireless power transfer and ultrasonic wireless power transfer. He was IEEE AP-S Kansai Joint Chapter vice chair. He is also an executive committee member of IEICE Wireless Power Transfer. Dr Fujimori is also a member of the Wireless Power Transfer Consortium for Practical Applications (WiPoT), the Japan Society of Applied Physics, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Alessandra Costanzo is Full Professor of Electromagnetic Fields at the University of Bologna. She obtained a 5-year Master's degree, with honours, in Electronic Engineering in 1987 at the University of Bologna and became research associate in 1989. Her research interests include CAD of RF and microwave circuits and systems such as MIMO, UWB systems, RFID systems and multi-band rectifying antennas for the collection of RF energy, specialized for wearable applications. She also studies and develops systems for wireless power transmission WPT adopting both near-field and far-field techniques for different operating frequencies and different power levels. She is an IEEE Fellow, class of 2022, for her contribution to "nonlinear electromagnetic co-design of RF and microwave circuits.
