The first place team, HEARD, created a highly portable and easily customizable augmentative communication device for individuals affected by autism. The second place team, ACCESS, created a coding platform for beginner programmers and is a tool to be used by teachers and students to provide a better programming experience in entry level classes.

Incandescent lighting could make a comeback with a new type of filter that "recycles" infrared photons and improves efficiency, an innovation that also could enable solar cells to convert heat into electricity more efficiently than conventional photovoltaic technology.

ECE Professor David Ebert, the company's CTO, says the company provides software and data visualization to help growers better manage how climate, weather, irrigation needs, soil variation, and their vineyard management will impact the quality and value of their grapes.

As the new movie "Concussion" comes to theaters, Purdue University researchers who have worked with forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu - played by actor Will Smith – can talk about the science that drives the film's storyline.

Professor Bouman’s research is on statistical signal and image processing in applications ranging from medical to scientific and consumer imaging. His research resulted in the first commercial model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) system for medical computed tomography (CT) and demonstrated its potential for dramatic X-ray dosage reduction.

Following the trend of large, student-organized competitions designed to showcase the incredible talents of Purdue University students, the ECE Student Society hosted its biannual Spark Challenge December 11th in the Purdue Armory.

His poster was titled "Hybrid Electroplasmonic Nanotweezer: Shaping the Future of Nanomanipulation". His work has been done in collaboration with Professor Steve Wereley of Purdue. He is co-advised by Professor George Nnanna of Purdue University-Calumet and ECE Professor Alexandra Boltasseva.

Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. Professor Hu was cited for contributions to power modeling and energy management of mobile devices.
