ECE Students Invent Solution for Sleep Apnea
Rita Brugarolas and Jose Manuel Valero-Sarmiento, ASSIST PhD students in Electrical Engineering and research assistants in Dr. Alper Bozkurt's iBionics Laboratory at North Carolina State University, conceived a novel idea: an auto-titrating oral appliance for at home use.
Research from North Carolina State University and Carnegie Mellon University shows that passing wireless power transfer through a magnetic resonance field enhancer (MRFE) - which can be as simple as a copper loop - can boost the transfer efficiency by at least 100 percent as compared to transferring through air alone.
George Whitmire was a sight to behold at this year's spring commencement ceremony at PNC Arena. With his son Connor at his side, Whitmire received his electrical engineering degree and a chance at new opportunities for his future.
During the 12th IEEE Body Sensor Networks Conference 2015 brought a diverse group of military and corporate entities along with academic researchers and physicians together in an open colloquium. mong attendees and presenters was ASSIST Center graduate student James Dieffenderfer, a graduate research assistant with the Integrated Bionic MicroSystems Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University.
A collaboration between NC State University and the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), as part of a series of STEAM initiatives to promote innovation has given a team of college students the opportunity to showcase an electronic display they developed alongside the works of M.C. Escher and Leonardo da Vinci.
ECE researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for "scheduling" energy in electric grids that moves away from centralized management.
For his Senior Design class in electrical and computer engineering, William Galliher and his team were given an opportunity to design a full-body 3D scanner as a demonstration piece for the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus.
The goal of NSF's Engineering Research Center (ERC) Program is to combine discovery and technological innovation in engineering research and education to create advanced technology and produce graduates who will be creative innovators. NC State has the distinction of leading two ERCs on campus.
Roshane Williams was the first in his family to head to college straight out of high school. Now he's taking his electrical engineering degree from NC State to Research Triangle Park and IBM.
ECE faculty member Dr. Jay Baliga, lauded by Scientific American as one of the heroes of the semiconductor revolution, has scored another scientific honor.
