The National Science Foundation (NSF) has chosen Purdue University to participate in a new Engineering Research Center dedicated to advancing sustainable, electrified transportation.

Purdue researchers recently received an award from the Army Research Office (ARO) to conduct theoretical and experimental studies on adversarial robustness of deep neural networks. Over the past decade, deep neural networks have made substantial progress in several areas such as computer vision and speech recognition.

A new quantum random walk technique developed by engineers at Purdue University could eventually allow computers to search through data at speeds beyond that of conventional computers.

Imagine that you are taking photos in the dark. No matter how you adjust your camera, the images will likely be too dark and too noisy to let you see anything. Computer vision scientists have been asking two questions for decades: Can we remove the noise to recover the image? Will our computer be able to recognize the objects from the noisy images?

A self-driving car has a hard time recognizing the difference between a toddler and a brown bag that suddenly appears into view because of limitations in how it senses objects using lidar.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), one of the most prevalent and costly illnesses in the beef and dairy industries, accounts for about half of all feedlot deaths in North America and costs producers as much as $900 million a year. Quickly diagnosing the illness could improve the well-being of animals and save producers significant money. Current tests don’t offer results for four or more days.

Purdue University researchers uncovered a serious vulnerability in Google’s Wear OS smartwatches. If left unpatched, the vulnerability could have allowed an attacker to crash specific apps, make the app or the watch unresponsive, or cause the watch to reboot continuously beyond the user’s control.

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. Students decide on a project and then design and test a system, component, or process to meet the goals they have set. And despite having to work remotely for several weeks after campus was closed due to COVID-19, students still managed to complete impressive projects.

Prof. Dan Jiao has been selected by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) as a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for the term 2021-2023. The MTT-S each year selects a group of DMLs who are internationally recognized experts and technical leaders in their fields within the Society.

Purdue University researchers recently developed a novel method that makes class incremental learning feasible in the strict online learning scenario which are additionally bounded by run-time and capability of lifelong learning with limited data compared to offline learning.
