ECE Welcomes New Faculty

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering welcomes two new faculty members to the Rutgers engineering. These new instructors bring extensive experience to Rutgers, having performed research in several exciting fields. We look forward to their continued growth and innovation as part of the Rutgers Engineering faculty.

 

 

 

Maryam Dehnavi recently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she worked on machine learning and stencil computations. Her research included improving previous methods for finite-element method computations and other algorithms. Her goal is to create more efficient methods by which data-heavy or otherwise large-scale computations are performed by parallel systems. Previously she worked at Qualcomm Incorporated, where she developed and optimized code to improve applications. She has also been a visiting scholar at the University of California Berkeley and Irvine, where she likewise studied methods of improving software to work more effectively with hardware. She has been granted multiple scholarships and grants by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and most recently earned a postdoctoral fellowship by the Quebec Research Fund.
