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 […]
