Join the annual Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Day held on Friday, December 8, from 12:00 pm - 2 pm in the Richard Weeks Hall of Engineering Building, 4th floor. The event will be attended by faculty, members of industry, alumni, and students. This event is a great opportunity to present your research projects, share your creative ideas, and network with your peers. The event is open to the public. Everyone is welcome to join and network.
The ECE Department is proud to announce that our upcoming new faculty, Aggelos Bletsas, has been elevated to IEEE Fellow 2024 with the following citation:
for contributions to cooperative relaying and backscatter communication networks.
Congratulations to Aggelos for this mile-stone achievement! We look forward to having him join us in January 2024.
You're invited to the Applied Math and ECE Speaker Series.
Associate Professor Anand Sarwate has received the Outstanding Engineering Faculty Award. The award was presented by Dean Alberto Cuitino and Department Chair Yingying Chen.
Since joining the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty in 2014, Anand Sarwate has established a reputation as a leading researcher in areas such as statistics, machine learning, information theory, distributed optimization and signal processing, and privacy-preserving data analysis. A recipient of the prestigious NSF CAREER award, he has received more than $6 million in funding from federal agencies including the NSF, NIH, PNNL, and DARPA for projects on which he is PI, as well as those on which he is a co-investigator. He has received a five-year renewal on an NIH subaward on a collaborative project for enabling decentralized analysis of neuroimaging data, as well as a research contract from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL) to develope deep neural networks for machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. His growing publishing portfolio addresses issues in various ECE subfields, while he serves as an associate editor and consulting editor for IEEE publications.
During the week of November 6 to 10, 2023, the ECE Department hosted about 900 undergraduate freshman students in 42 personalized sessions to teach them about the differences between electrical and computer engineering, the ECE curriculum, research in ECE, IEEE, career opportunities available in electrical and computer engineering fields, and the ECE BS/MS program. The goal of Intro to Engineering is to build rapport with freshmen who already decided on an ECE major, bring more interest to SOE students who don't know much about ECE, and gently persuade undecided freshmen to choose ECE as their major. They heard from faculty and staff and had the opportunity to apply what they learned in an ECE pumpkin printed circuit board (PCB)soldering activity.
We look forward to our incoming class of ECE students in the Fall of 2024!
