Imagine for a moment your research has finally paid off. You have developed a novel agricultural sensor that has the capacity to change production for the better for thousands of Midwest farmers. That’s great, but what’s the next step?

New patented technologies from engineers at Purdue University are designed to improve the performance of handheld optical sensors used for food safety detection and water quality analysis.

Purdue has launched the new Center for Innovation in Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON), with the aim of developing foundational knowledge and advanced techniques for controlling and optimizing complex, connected, dynamical systems.

Shaimaa I. Azzam, who earned her PhD in summer 2020 from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the field of nanophotonics, has been awarded a 2020 Dimitris N. Chorafas Foundation award.

For quantum optical technologies to become more practical, there is a need for large-scale integration of quantum photonic circuits on chips.

New experimental evidence of a collective behavior of electrons to form "quasiparticles" called "anyons" has been reported by a team of scientists at Purdue University.

A multidisciplinary team from Purdue University, including James Krogmeier and Aaron Ault, recently received funding from the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).

Developing new quantum science technologies will be the focus of a new national research effort, with Purdue University playing a leading role. The work is supported through a broad effort announced by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. The effort will include more than $1 billion in awards for the establishment of 12 new artificial intelligence and quantum information science (QIS) research institutes nationwide.

Saurabh Bagchi, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University, has been elevated to membership of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) for his contribution to dependable autonomous systems.

A team led by Zubin Jacob, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University, has won a DARPA QUEST award.
