Aline Eid

Aline Eid is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, directing the Beam Dynamics research group. Her work bridges electromagnetics, wireless systems, and autonomous technologies, with a focus on mmWave/sub-THz sensing, backscatter communications, and wireless power transfer.

• PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Georgia Tech, 2021)
• MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering (American University of Beirut, 2017)
• Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab (Signal Kinetics group)

Research Interests: She pioneers systems that use electromagnetic waves to address societal challenges in

• Sustainable energy networks
• Smart cities/infrastructures
• Autonomous vehicles/robots

Her group develops mmID tags for radar vision, batteryless sensors, and 5G-based wireless power grids.

Scientific Impact: Recognized with awards including

• IEEE RFID Best Paper (2023)
• Proceedings of the IEEE Best Paper (2023)
• IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowship (2020)

She leads commercialization efforts for warehouse robotics via MTRAC grant and startup Atheraxon.

Advising: Mentors 8 students across PhD (Skanda Harisha, Sepideh Ghasemi, Yunfei Liu), Master's (Longyu Guo), and undergraduates (Mohamed Safawi, Katherine Shih, Andy Wang, Adrian Velazquez) in projects spanning robotics, IoT, and electromagnetic engineering.

Labs: Beam Dynamics group at U-M Radiation Laboratory, collaborating with Atheraxon and MTRAC for technology translation.
