ECE Students Score High in Global Online Coding Competition
ECE students were top performers in a global online programming contest called IEEEXtreme. The leading NC State team, named TnTWizard (for Thomas Barnette, Alan “Trey” Woodlief, and Duncan Page) came in 2nd in the US and 24th in the entire world, affirmation of the high quality of students enrolled in ECE. IEEEXtreme is a global challenge […]
ECE has inaugurated a new tradition with the 2015 induction of 34 exceptional alumni into its Alumni Hall of Fame
Dr. Brian A. Floyd, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, has been awarded the William F. Lane Outstanding Teacher Award..jpg){kind=small}
B. Jayant Baliga, Distinguished University Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, will be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
ECE Researchers have developed techniques that can be used to create ideal geometric phase holograms for any kind of optical pattern – a significant advance over the limitations of previous techniques. The holograms can be used to create new types of displays, imaging systems, telecommunications technology and astronomical instruments. A geometric phase hologram is a […]
Tahmid Latif, under the advisement of Dr. Alper Bozkurt, placed second in The Graduate School’s inaugural 3 Minute Thesis competition, a test of both his engineering and communication skills. Tahmid’s PhD research in the iBionicS Labuses Madagascar hissing cockroaches as search and rescue “roach-bots.” With electrodes implanted into the roach antennae and electronic backpack, Tahmid uses neurostimulation […]
Michael Escuti received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study and make novel hologram technologies. He created a tool that did much more. The technology he developed offers a new way to manipulate light, with applications from studying alien worlds to making cellphones more energy efficient.
Dr. Aranya Chakrabortty and Dr. Alexandra Duel-Hallen (Sasha) have been awarded $600,000 from the Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) of the US National Science Foundation to develop an advanced design architecture that will enable integration of high-speed communication networks with wide-area control of large power systems using Synchronized Phasor Measurements (or "Synchrophasors").
Ask Brandi Weaver for a favorite memory from her student days at NC State and you will get more than one thing. A lot more. Weaver, a 2003 graduate of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was involved in the College’s Minority Engineering Programs (MEP) and student chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers. She was […]
The advent of the Information Age has made it much easier to track one’s family history, turning days spent poring over dusty vital records into a few hours online. The same can be said of tracing one’s academic history. The Mathematics Genealogy Project at North Dakota State University compiles an online database of mathematicians with […]
