Professor Bouman’s research is on statistical signal and image processing in applications ranging from medical to scientific and consumer imaging. His research resulted in the first commercial model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) system for medical computed tomography (CT) and demonstrated its potential for dramatic X-ray dosage reduction.

Following the trend of large, student-organized competitions designed to showcase the incredible talents of Purdue University students, the ECE Student Society hosted its biannual Spark Challenge December 11th in the Purdue Armory.

His poster was titled "Hybrid Electroplasmonic Nanotweezer: Shaping the Future of Nanomanipulation". His work has been done in collaboration with Professor Steve Wereley of Purdue. He is co-advised by Professor George Nnanna of Purdue University-Calumet and ECE Professor Alexandra Boltasseva.

Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. Professor Hu was cited for contributions to power modeling and energy management of mobile devices.

The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a person with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. Professor Jiao is being recognized for contributions to computational electromagnetics.

The paper was titled "Downlink Training Techniques for FDD Massive MIMO Systems: Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Training With Memory"

The Outstanding Service Award was presented to I-Fan Lin. The Outstanding Active Award was presented to Sambit Mishra. Professor Stanley Chan received the Outstanding Teacher Award, and Professor Mark Bell received the Outstanding Professor Award.
