Ashley's summer research project was judged to be best among eight undergraduate finalists drawn from around 300 entrants from around the nation. Her work was entitled: "Predicting Axonal Injury and Repair in the Brain Post Trauma: A Pairing of Finite Element Methods with In Vivo Imaging Techniques"

His research project, "Becoming Boundary Spanners: Investigating, Enhancing, and Assessing the Experiences of Early Career Engineers," provides an integrative vision for engineering education and practice based on boundary spanning as a core meta-attribute for 21st-century engineers.

His paper was titled "Reducing the Temperature Coefficients of Silicon and Amorphous Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells." His advisor is Professor Jeff Gray.

The purpose of the award is to recognize exceptional research carried out by graduate students. Sumeet received this award in the category of Circuit Design Technologies for his doctoral research entitled “Technology-Circuit Co-design and Analysis of Multi-gate FETs for Memory Applications”.

Researchers have created a new type of miniature pump activated by body heat that could be used in drug-delivery patches powered by fermentation.

The undergraduate rankings are computed from survey responses from deans and selected senior faculty, who rated programs on a 1-5 scale from marginal to distinguished.

Only four people each year receive this award. I-Fan is advised by Professor Mark Bell.

The award is for their project "Detecting No-Sleep Energy Bugs in Smartphone Apps".

ECE researchers have learned how to mass produce tiny mechanical devices that could help cell phone users avoid the nuisance of dropped calls and slow downloads. The devices are designed to ease congestion over the airwaves to improve the performance of cell phones and other portable devices.
