A grant from the National Science Foundation will help ECE Prof. Felix Xiaozhu Lin do research into safeguarding Internet of Things (IoT) data during edge processing. Lin’s project, “CAREER: A Trustworthy and Verifiable Software Backplane for the Cloud Edge,” was awarded $477K over five years from the NSF’s Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS).

First responders across the U.S. can rely on Purdue University technology in critical situations.

Purdue University researchers are among the first to build a gate – what could be a quantum version of a transistor, used in today’s computers for processing information – with qudits. Whereas qubits can exist only in superpositions of 0 and 1 states, qudits exist in multiple states, such as 0 and 1 and 2. More states mean that more data can be encoded and processed.

An important part of senior year for Purdue ECE students is senior design. Teams incorporate all of their previous coursework to take on a challenging engineering project. In Spring 2019, Team Knights of the Square Table designed and built the Rook-eChess Board.

Researchers in Purdue University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering are working on ways to approximate computation on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) so they run fast while keeping errors in the results within tolerable limits. Saurabh Bagchi, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue, is collaborating with a team from the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) to solve this problem.

Purdue University researchers have come up with technology to increase magnetic memory speeds and decrease electricity consumption. 

ECE Prof. Andrew Weiner recently participated in STIx on the Hill 2019, a Congressional briefing on Science, Technology, and Information Exchange, hosted by the Coalition for National Security Research (CNSR) and the Department of Defense. The event is a showcase of DOD-funded research for members of Congress and their staff.

ECE Prof. David Ebertis focused on helping the wine industry through Discovery Park’s Big Ideas program. Ebert along with Christian Butzke, a food science professor and enologist, and other Purdue colleagues are trying to help growers in California transition to utilizing new, efficient technology for their operations without being caught in a data overload

Researchers at Purdue University, led by ECE Prof. Scott Sudhoff, have come up with an effective way to reduce the size and increase the efficiency of the moderate- to low-power electric generators used in those applications.

Purdue University researchers, including ECE Professor Zhihong Chen, have come up with a solution to help – they are adding a graphene monolayer to the devices to protect the microelectrodes.
