Jacob Loverich is currently the VP of Research at KCF Technologies. He has been developing electromechanical devices for the past ten years and has focused last five years on wireless sensors and energy harvesting technologies. This work has spanned secure wireless sensor networks to acoustic sources for filter cleaning to piezoelectric atomizing devices. In his previous position a as a JSPS Fellow at Kyoto University in Japan, Dr. Loverich developed a new class of all polymer micropumps and invivo energy harvesting devices. He earned his Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the Center for Acoustics and Vibration at Penn State University.
