This phenomenon not only decreases the power delivered to the load but also shifts the maximum power point of the system. With the model developed by Xi, engineers can more easily and more effectively design thermoelectric harvesters so they output the highest power possible.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EPh.D candidate \u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EXi Li\u2019s research has been honored at the this year\u2019s International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Ph.D candidate Xi Li\u2019s research has been honored at the this year\u2019s International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems."}],"uid":"36172","created_gmt":"2023-08-30 15:37:27","changed_gmt":"2023-08-30 15:38:06","author":"dwatson71","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2023-08-30T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2023-08-30T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"671536":{"id":"671536","type":"image","title":"Xi Li.jpg","body":null,"created":"1693409858","gmt_created":"2023-08-30 15:37:38","changed":"1693409858","gmt_changed":"2023-08-30 15:37:38","alt":"Xi Li, a Ph.D. candidate in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering","file":{"fid":"254618","name":"Xi Li.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/08\/30\/Xi%20Li.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/08\/30\/Xi%20Li.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1049638,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2023\/08\/30\/Xi%20Li.jpg?itok=UJWBQWHh"}}},"media_ids":["671536"],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"192989","name":"Xi Li"},{"id":"192990","name":"IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems"},{"id":"66891","name":"Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"192991","name":"Gabriel A.
