What projects are you currently working on?

My work mainly revolves around wireless power transfer and wireless sensor technology. I now focus mainly on magnetic skin applications, including tracking eye movements with magnetic skin, contactless control with magnetic skin, and enabling quadriplegics with magnetic skin. My ultimate goal is to take these topics from research to help the needy people out there.

What drives you in life, Abdullah?

Passion! I enjoy the feeling of exploring new discoveries and providing my unique solutions to all the challenges that lie ahead. I was really excited when I realized that some of my solutions have the potential to reach the market and help some people have a better life. I believe that I am so fortunate to be working in an area where the results can help humanity and make the earth a better place to live.
