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.

They were: Professors Muhammad Ashraful Alam, Alexandra Boltasseva, Charles Bouman, Y. Charlie Hu, Pedro Irazoqui, Byunghoo Jung, David J. Love, Mark Lundstrom, Samuel Midkiff, Dimitrios Peroulis, Minghao Qi, Kaushik Roy, Babak Ziaie, and Senior Research Scientist Charilaos Mousoulis.

Researchers have laid the groundwork for a method to improve cybersecurity for large-scale systems like the power grid and autonomous military defense networks by harnessing game theory and creating new intelligent algorithms.

Researchers in Purdue University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering are working on ways to help users get the best performance and reliability out of increasingly complex software. The research is being funded through the Adobe University Research Awards Program and an NIH R01 grant.

Purdue University researchers are developing a new system using deep learning to detect cracks captured in videos of nuclear reactors. This work represents the future of inspection technology, which could reduce accidents and maintenance costs.

Pujitha Desiraju is a senior majoring in Computer Engineering. She is spending the semester studying abroad at National University of Singapore.

A Purdue-based company that designs software and performs in-field analysis to help wine grape growers and winemakers improve crop quality and sustainability has won a two-year federal grant worth more than $500,000.

The virtual reality industry is faced with a conundrum: Users must be tethered to a server or PC in order to play high-quality apps.

At the same time, next-generation smartphones and wireless networks will not be advanced enough to sever the tether, say researchers who propose a new software platform to solve the problem.

Researchers, including ECE professors David Janes and Dimitrios Peroulis, have developed a new type of cooling system for high-performance radars and supercomputers that circulates a liquid coolant directly into electronic chips through an intricate series of tiny microchannels.

Prof. Zhongming Liu and a team of researchers have demonstrated how to decode what the human brain is seeing by using artificial intelligence to interpret fMRI scans from people watching videos, representing a sort of "mind-reading" technology.
