    Raquel Sarabia-Soto (she/her/hers)

    Cornell University

    Raquel Sarabia is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University, specializing in high-frequency power electronics. Her research focuses on the development of compact, lightweight, and cost-effective capacitive wireless power transfer systems for electric vehicle charging, with an emphasis on MHz resonant converters, integrated magnetics, and pavement-embedded charging platforms for stationary and dynamic applications.

    Her work aims to increase power transfer density while reducing system cost and material usage, enabling scalable deployment of wireless charging infrastructure. She has led the design, simulation, and experimental validation of multi-kilowatt prototypes operating at 6.78 MHz, targeting practical implementation in real-world environments.

    Originally trained in Industrial Engineering in Spain, Raquel combines hands-on hardware design with system-level optimization and commercialization strategy. Beyond research, she is actively involved in leadership and community initiatives at Cornell and is a competitive triathlete.
