Computational Tool Offers New Insight Into Key Biological Processes
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a computational tool designed to guide future research on biochemical pathways by identifying which components in a biological system are related to specific biochemical processes, including those processes responsible for gene expression, cell signaling, stress response, and metabolism. “Our goal was to identify modules, or functional units, […]
NC State researchers, Alper Bozkurt and David Roberts, are focused on the use cyber-physical systems to share information and coordinate emergency and disaster response and recovery in the Smart Emergency Response System (SERS) project. Specifically, once aspect of the equation: dogs.
ECE PhD student Tahmid Latif won first place in the Engineering division at the 2014 NC State Graduate Student Research Symposium for his poster "Terrestrial Insect Biobots for Search and Rescue after Natural Disasters."
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new processing technique that makes light emitting diodes (LEDs) brighter and more resilient by coating the semiconductor material gallium nitride (GaN) with a layer of phosphorus-derived acid. 
Two current graduate students with NC State undergraduate degrees received fellowships - including Michael David McKnight, an electrical engineering Ph.D. student and member of the iBionics Lab, 2012 graduate in biomedical engineering, and former Park Scholar.
Dr. Robert Trew and two of his former PhD students will receive the 2014 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Pioneer Award. 
Dr. Mihail Sichitiu and Dr. Rudra Dutta are organizing the CentMesh Drone Challenge, with a goal of raising awareness of these platforms and increasing participation in drone-related activities.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new, stretchable antenna that can be incorporated into wearable technologies, such as health monitoring devices. “Many researchers – including our lab – have developed prototype sensors for wearable health systems, but there was a clear need to develop antennas that can be easily incorporated into those […]
