Professors Alexandra Boltesseva, Charlie Bouman, Y. Charlie Hu, Pedro Irazoqui, Gerhard Klimeck, David Love, Vladimir Shalaev, and Babak Ziaie have been elected for 2013-2014.

The company says their technology could reduce the operational cost and increase the reliability and security of the software that drives sensors. SensorHound was founded by Vinai Sundaram and Matthew Tan Creti, alumni of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Patrick Eugster, a Purdue associate professor of computer science.

Alexandra "Sasha" Boltasseva has been named a fellow of the Optical Society (OSA). She was cited for "seminal contributions to the fields of nanophotonics and new plasmonic materials."

The founder of a simulation software startup based on a Purdue University innovation, ECE Professor Gerhard Klimeck, says his company could help the semiconductor industry overcome research and development challenges in designing and manufacturing next-generation transistors.

The paper is titled "Microwave purification of large-area horizontally aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes". The theoretical work at Purdue enabled the experimental demonstration by John Rogers group at UIUC.

Researchers have uncovered "smoking-gun" evidence to confirm the workings of an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical quantum computers far more powerful than today's technologies.

Professor Dionysios Aliprantis and student Hugo Villegas Pico won first place for their paper "Voltage ride-through capability verification of wind turbines with fully-rated converters using reachability analysis" while Professor Scott Sudhoff and his student Grant M. Shane won third place for their paper "Design paradigm for permanent magnet inductors in energy conversion applications".

IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading computing membership organization and the trusted information and career-development source for a global workforce of technology leaders including: professors, researchers, software engineers, IT professionals, employers, and students. As an officer and member of the Board of Governors, the Second Vice President's role is integral to setting the direction and determining the strategy for the Computer Society, and provides guidance at the policy level to all Society organizational entities.

A team of Purdue University students working on a hybrid renewable power system for use in remote communities in need of electricity has been awarded a 2014 Ford College Community Challenge (Ford C3) grant. The team includes ECE undergraduate Hamzah Alahmadi.
