Fahmida Ferdous, currently an ECE PhD student working with Professor Andy Weiner, has been honored by the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology with the Dr. Rashid Gold Medal 2006 for her achievements during her former graduate study at BUET.

Professor Babak Ziaie and other researchers have invented a technique that uses inexpensive paper to make "microfluidic" devices for rapid medical diagnostics and chemical analysis.

Professor Raghunathan has been chosen to serve as a technical program co-chair for the 10th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) to be held in Chicago the week of April 11th.

Researchers are developing a new class of "plasmonic metamaterials" as potential building blocks for advanced optical technologies, including ultrapowerful microscopes and computers, improved solar cells, and a possible invisibility cloak.

Professor Ziaie, along with Professor Maleki of Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center and Dr. Ko of the IU School of Medicine, have created a company dedicated to developing nanotechnology devices for medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
