      As of now, my work involves designing a wireless communication system – which includes a transmitter and a receiver.

      My specification is on chipless and battery-less antennas – ( For Ex. which means that you can have a metallic sticker on your hand which can work as an antenna in the future to tell your mobile device what your temperature is 🙂 ) – very important in these times, innit?

      I am using a similar technique to study the health of cows because animals need health care too, don’t they? 🙂
