A team of faculty and students from Purdue’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has won $750,000 at the first preliminary event of DARPA’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2).

Researchers are applying the same ‘hydrodynamic transport model’ used to study flow in fluids to explain heat transport in a solid semiconductor, with potential implications for the design of high-speed transistors and lasers.

Purdue University will lead a new national center to develop brain-inspired computing for intelligent autonomous systems such as drones and personal robots capable of operating without human intervention. The Center for Brain-inspired Computing Enabling Autonomous Intelligence, or C-BRIC, begins operating in January 2018.

A new platform enables high-quality 3-D video communication on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets using existing standard wireless networks.

Co-ops and internships are a great way to gain real-world experience while building on the skills and knowledge that students receive in the classroom. Both also offer work experience that allows students to be more competitive employment candidates upon degree completion.

Check out what some of our ECE students did during the Fall 2017 semester!

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated how to harness a property called negative capacitance for a new type of transistor that could reduce power consumption, validating a theory proposed in 2008 by a team at Purdue University.

A group of Purdue University researchers, led by ECE Prof. Shreyas Sen, has discovered a new way in using the human body as a robust communication medium for networking electronic devices in and on the body that promises to be far more secure and low-energy than any wireless system.

Purdue University researchers will use an award from the National Science Foundation to make computing more effective and energy efficient using "spins." Joerg Appenzeller, the Barry M. and Patricia L. Epstein Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue, will lead the effort.

Purdue University researchers have found a method of identifying biological markers in small amounts of blood that they believe could be used to detect a myriad of diseases, infections and different medical conditions at early stages.

A company started by two ECE graduates to help high-end retail stores improve customer service through automated coaching of sales associates has received a two-year, $750,000 federal grant to continue improving its software.
