The College of Engineering held a kickoff meeting Dec. 3 to officially launch its Center for Internet of Bodies, a new, emerging field that has been gaining global popularity.

A Purdue building housing the university's largest academic unit has a new name, thanks to a generous gift from an alumnus. Purdue’s Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Electrical Engineering Building on campus as the Max W & Maileen Brown Family Hall.

The modern world runs on semiconductor chips. They form the backbone of the entire computing and electronics industries and almost any product that plugs into a wall has at least one semiconductor chip (likely, many more) inside. A worldwide shortage of semiconductors — tried to buy a car lately? — caused by pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions has brought into sharp focus the need for more design, engineering, and manufacturing capacity (both worldwide and domestically in the US) to keep pace with the drive to put digital smarts everywhere.

Shreyas Sen, an Elmore Associate Professor with Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will participate in an Expedition Technology-led team that will allow further exploration on applications of Machine Learning on Radio-Frequency Communication and Unintended Emanation Signals for improving System Security.

For the second straight year, two professors in Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering have been named to the list of Highly Cited Researchers from the Web of Science Group.

Two professors and two alumni of the Purdue University Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering have been selected to receive the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) Ten Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award.

Alumnus William B. Elmore was honored in two events on Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus for his $25-million gift to name the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

In collaboration with two universities, Purdue University was awarded a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to develop a fundamental understanding of topological systems incorporating plasma elements.

Digital transformation is the order of the day, and semiconductors and microelectronics are foundational elements of a digital strategy. The worldwide shortage of semiconductors—tried to buy a car lately?—may have been caused by pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions, but the silver lining is that it has brought into sharp focus the need for more design, engineering and manufacturing capacity in order to keep pace with the drive to put digital smarts everywhere.

A multi-disciplinary effort between the Lyles School of Civil Engineering and Purdue’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is working toward developing low-cost, reliable soil sensors that could reduce their price from several hundred dollars to just a few cents each.
