The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. Professor Balakrishnan was cited for his contributions to convex optimization in control systems

Purdue ECE graduate students Mathew Tancreti and Mohammad Sajjad Hossain and ECE faculty members Saurabh Bagchi and Vijay Raghunathan won the best paper award at the ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) for their paper titled "AVEKSHA: A Hardware-Software Approach for Non-Intrusive Tracing and Profiling of Wireless Embedded Systems." Mathew Tancreti is advised by Prof. Saurabh Bagchi and Mohammad Sajjad Hossain is advised by Prof. Vijay Raghunathan.

Professor Charles Bouman has been notified that his two-decade, Purdue-Notre Dame research collaboration that resulted in the development of a model based iterative reconstruction algorithm for CT has been granted 510(k) approval by the FDA.

The merging of two technologies under development - plasmonics and nanophotonics - is promising the emergence of new "quantum information systems" far more powerful than today's computers.

Purdue University has developed a system to analyze the historic response of U.S. Coast Guard search-and-rescue operations in the Great Lakes and assess the potential risks associated with hypothetical changes in the allocation of resources in the region.

Researchers at Purdue University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a device small enough to fit on a computer chip that converts continuous laser light into numerous ultrashort pulses, a technology that might have applications in more advanced sensors, communications systems and laboratory instruments.

Her research is "Complementary-Type Graphene Inverters Operating at Room-Temperature.” Her advisor is Professor Joerg Appenzeller.

The title was "Contact Modeling and Analysis of InAs HEMT Transistors." He is advised by Professor Gerhard Klimeck.

Four universities are creating an interactive Web platform that will provide a new way for people working on improving "STEM" research to synthesize knowledge produced through National Science Foundation investments.

Professor Klimeck, also the Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, is interviewed regarding NanoHub.org.
