The NSF has awarded a $1.2 million grant to Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison to develop tools that will help researchers design the next generation of computer hardware that powers artificial intelligence.

A study led by Purdue University researchers and published in Cell Reports Physical Science shows that electric vehicles (EVs) could become powerful allies for the electric grid, helping utilities meet growing energy demands while saving billions of dollars in infrastructure costs.

Computers power everything from artificial intelligence to climate modeling, but a new study from Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering shows that this progress may come with an overlooked environmental cost: biodiversity loss.

Irith Pomeranz, the Cadence Professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been honored with the prestigious IEEE TTTC Lifetime Contribution Medal in recognition of her groundbreaking contributions to test technology.

The research team won the Best Paper Award for its groundbreaking research on “Quanta Diffusion,” a new AI-powered method for producing clear images and video in extreme low-light and high-motion conditions.

The project, called CROSS (Community around Securing the Research Software Supply Chain), will bring together researchers, research software engineers and government stakeholders to identify risks to RSSC security and propose ways to strengthen them.

The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University continues to rise among the nation's top engineering programs. In the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings of undergraduate programs, Purdue ECE ranked No. 10 in electrical engineering and No. 9 in computer engineering.

Purdue University alumnus Yuri Kubo, who holds both a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (2008) and a master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering (2015), has been named to NASA’s 2025 class of astronaut candidates.

Davis and his wife and research partner, Kirsten Davis, an assistant professor in Purdue’s School of Engineering Education, have received a $350,000 NSF grant to launch a three-year study that aims to transform how software engineers are prepared for the era of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).
