The company, headed by ECE research assistant professor Johnny Park, received $1.3 million from multiple investors and venture programs to further develop an online pest management program, an electronic insect trapping device and to expand its business capabilities.

A Purdue-based startup is developing high-temperature "plasmonic metamaterials" that could dramatically increase data-storage capabilities, improve solar-cell and waste-heat recovery performance and provide a new avenue for clinical therapeutics. The technology was developed in the labs of ECE Professors Vladimir Shalaev and Alexandra Boltasseva.

Purdue doctoral student Archana Tankasala, a member of ECE Professor Gerhard Klimeck's lab, is studying electron interactions in few-electron systems involving 1.5 to 2 million atoms as part of research that could contribute to development of quantum computers exponentially more capable than today’s supercomputers.

EJ interned last summer at Tesla Motors in Palo Alto, Calif. The summer before that he interned at Allison Transmission in Speedway.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Avinash Kak is interested in bringing interactive robots out of the industrial setting into more varied environments such as the home or office.

His presentation was titled "Energy Harvesting from Human Motion for Powering of Wearable Electronics". He is advised by Professor Dimitrios Peroulis.

SSDM is one of the most traditional international conferences held in Japan, covering a broad spectrum of topics related to solid state devices and materials with more than 1000 conference participants.

The title of his work is "Low-Cost, Biocompatible Packaging Technique for Implantable Biomedical Devices"

The undergraduate rankings are computed from survey responses from deans and selected senior faculty, who rated programs on a 1-5 scale from marginal to distinguished.

This best paper of chip-package co-design session is entitled “Linear (Optimal) Complexity Direct Full-Wave Solution of Full-Package Problems Involving over 10 Million Unknowns on a Single Computer,” authored by Bangda Zhou and Professor Dan Jiao.
