Between 2005 and 2010, he worked within the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford.
Ben is widely published in the area of wireless systems and has an established track record of wireless technology innovation that has been built up through collaboration between industry and academia. His research interests include wideband wireless systems, antennas, propagation, and waveform design.
Professor Allen is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and a Member of the editorial board of the IET Microwaves, Antennas, and Propagation Journal. He has received several awards.
We have been developing RF energy harvesting technology that uses ambient radio waves to produce power as an alternative to batteries for low power electronic devices. Our work has attained first prize at the University of Bedfordshire's Business Concept and Business Plan competitions (2011) and we have filed a patent relating to our work.
