They were given the award for their paper titled "Battery-Driven System Design: A New Frontier in Low Power Design" at the 20th anniversary of the Asia South-Pacific Design Automation Conference.

He was elected among 170 new fellows "who have demonstrated a prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society," according to a statement from NAI.

Their paper is titled "Downlink training codebook design and hybrid precoding in FDD massive MIMO Systems". Song is co-advised by Professors Love and Zoltowski.

Professor Webb is being honored "for seminal contributions to the description of waves in complex media, including optical forces and energy in dispersive systems, nanophotonics, metamaterial properties, and the characterization of random scattering media."

Professor David Ebert received $40,000 for using visual analytics to reduce the impact of climate change and drought conditions. Professor Babak Ziaie received $20,000 for SmartGait, a device to assess gait parameters and predict falls in people.

ECE researchers have demonstrated a new way to enhance the emission of single photons by using "hyperbolic metamaterials," a step toward creating devices in work aimed at developing quantum computers and communications technologies.

ECE students, faculty and staff joined Purdue Student Government to observe the first anniversary of Andrew Boldt's death today (Wednesday, January 21) with a moment of silence at noon. The moment of silence coincided with the usual Purdue Bell Tower ringing 12 times at noon.

The ECE recipients were Joe Bougher, Professor Jeff Gray, Professor Cheng-Kok Koh, Dr. Matthew Swabey, and Mihal Sinani. The award was created to recognize extraordinary achievement by faculty and staff in the College of Engineering.

A new method that creates large-area patterns of three-dimensional nanoshapes from metal sheets represents a potential manufacturing system to inexpensively mass produce innovations such as "plasmonic metamaterials" for advanced technologies.
