  R.J. Wood, S. Avadhanula, E. Steltz, M. Seeman, J. Entwistle, A. Bachrach, G. Barrows, S. Sanders and R.S. Fearing, "Design, Fabrication and Initial Results of a 2g Autonomous Glider," 31st Annual Industrial Electronics Conference, Raleigh, NC 2005.

• Pico Radio / Smart Dust Group: Working on an integrated power converter for nanopower remote sensor nodes. Should be pretty cool.

• Switched-Capacitor Converter Research: Individual, more theoretical research on switched-capacitor power converters. Hoping to publish a paper (or two!) in PESC 2006.
