Prof. Wade Trappe was elected Vice Chair of the IEEE Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee. The one-year term of Vice Chair will start on 2015/1/1. The Vice Chair position automatically succeeds to the position of Chair (2016-2017) then Past Chair.
This is a very visible position in the IEEE Signal Processing Society, in an area that has been attracting increasing interest. Dr. Trappe's election is testament of the recognition that he enjoys by the technical community in that field.
The research thrusts of the ECE Department include:
Electrical Engineering focusing on biomedical devices inspired from biological systems or addressing biological requirements. Monitoring devices, instrumentation sensors and systems, biorobotics, nanobiotechnologies and biomaterials are some of the technologies in this research area.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers teaches students to be at the forefront of today's information and technology age. Our advanced research laboratories and other facilities help enable our students to learn about the various aspects of electrical or computer engineering.
CE Alumna Aylin Yener has been elevated to IEEE Fellow for contributions to wireless communications and wireless information security. Dr. Yener is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Yener is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications for her paper "Optimum Transmission Policies for Battery Limited Energy Harvesting Nodes".
