Tuck Receives Research Award from NSF
Dr. James Tuck, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been awarded $384,143 by the National Science Foundation for research on CSR: Small: A Practical Data Dependence Profiler for Program Characterization and Optimization.
Researchers at N.C. State have developed a new way for improving overall efficiency of solar panels that will reduce the cost of solar energy production.
Electric vehicles can now be charged faster than an iPhone-reducing what previously took four hours down to less than one hour.
Alper Bozkurt along with his collaborators (David Roberts from Computer Science and Barbara Sherman from College of Veterinary Medicine), have been awarded $999,103 by the National Science Foundation Cyber-Physical Systems (NSF-CPS) Program for their research on "CPS: Synergy: Integrated Sensing and Control Algorithms for Computer-Assisted Training".
North Carolina State University researchers have come up with a new technique for improving the connections between stacked solar cells, which should improve the overall efficiency of solar energy devices and reduce the cost of solar energy production.
Researchers at RENCI and North Carolina State University took home an award at the recent US Ignite Application Summit for demonstrating a prototype next-generation Internet application that monitors large power systems over a wide-area, high-performance communication network.
NC State improved in the field of "engineering/technology and computer sciences" on a prestigious international scorecard of universities, jumping two spots from last year to rank No. 27 in the world for 2013.
Dr. Omer Oralkan, has received the prestigious Young Faculty Award (YFA) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for his project titled "An Ultrasound-Based Noninvasive Neural Interface to the Retina."
Dr. Aranya Chakrabortty has received a $400,000 research award from the National Science Foundation to develop distributed estimation and control algorithms for cyber-physical systems with a particular focus on large power systems.
