Masha Novoselova values the Purdue experience in Indianapolis for its blend of rigorous and enjoyable electrical engineering classes, meaningful internship opportunities, and spaces to connect with friends and explore the city.

Purdue University electrical and computer engineering PhD candidate Alex Santiago-Vargas earned first place in the student paper competition at the 2026 IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference, or WAMICON, for research that could help make future wireless radios smaller, more efficient and less complex.

The study, “Anticipating Decoherence in Quantum Systems,” led by PhD candidate Pranshu Maan together with faculty members Alexander V. Kildishev, Vladimir M. Shalaev, and Alexandra Boltasseva, has been published in Nature Communications.

The honor recognizes student-athletes across the conference who earned a grade-point average of 3.7 or higher during the academic year.

Purdue University Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Tillmann Kubis is calling for greater national attention to a critical but underrecognized skills gap in semiconductor education: quantum transport.

Led by Zubin Jacob, the Elmore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Dan Jiao, the Synopsys Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Purdue team developed patterned magnetic surfaces, “spin noise metasurfaces,” to shape the pure quantum dephasing dynamics of defect spins in diamond.

Purdue University researchers are combining artificial intelligence, wearable sensors and nutrition science to explore a more accurate and timely way to understand what people eat and when they may be most open to making healthier choices.

A new class of engineered materials proposed by researchers at Purdue University and the University of Massachusetts Lowell has now moved from theory to reality, potentially creating new ways to control light for sensing, communications and other advanced technologies.

Purdue’s Guaranteed Work Experience program, known as GWE, is helping students make early connections with employers in Indianapolis and begin preparing for their careers from the moment they arrive on campus.

Sihun Kim will travel to Indonesia, while Jehan Shalabi will conduct research in France. Both were selected for Fulbright Study/Research Awards in June 2026.
