Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), one of the most prevalent and costly illnesses in the beef and dairy industries, accounts for about half of all feedlot deaths in North America and costs producers as much as $900 million a year. Quickly diagnosing the illness could improve the well-being of animals and save producers significant money. Current tests don’t offer results for four or more days.

Purdue University researchers uncovered a serious vulnerability in Google’s Wear OS smartwatches. If left unpatched, the vulnerability could have allowed an attacker to crash specific apps, make the app or the watch unresponsive, or cause the watch to reboot continuously beyond the user’s control.

An important part of senior year for Purdue ECE students is senior design. Teams incorporate all of their previous coursework to take on a challenging engineering project. Students decide on a project and then design and test a system, component, or process to meet the goals they have set. And despite having to work remotely for several weeks after campus was closed due to COVID-19, students still managed to complete impressive projects.

Prof. Dan Jiao has been selected by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) as a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for the term 2021-2023. The MTT-S each year selects a group of DMLs who are internationally recognized experts and technical leaders in their fields within the Society.

Purdue University researchers recently developed a novel method that makes class incremental learning feasible in the strict online learning scenario which are additionally bounded by run-time and capability of lifelong learning with limited data compared to offline learning.

Public camera footage of how people have responded so far to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines in spaces such as tourist spots and busy street corners could help inform new policies as the pandemic progresses. But that footage is scattered all over the internet. Purdue University engineers built a website that pools together live footage and images from approximately 30,000 network cameras in more than 100 countries, making data easier to analyze.

Dana Weinstein, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, is among 85 of the nation’s brightest early-career engineers selected to take part in the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) 26th annual US Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) symposium.

Despite the Purdue University campus shutting down in mid-March due to COVID-19, ECE senior design teams were still able to complete some impressive projects remotely. That includes Team Acoustic Gorillas, which consisted of students Ayhan Okcal, Jackson Davis, Jeyhun Nasibov, and Nicholas Doerry. The team worked together on a project called “Turn it up!”

Computer visual algorithms shown to improve demographic information could bring a “personalized” experience to shopping, traveling and other consumer activities. The advancements come as more retailers, airlines and other businesses are collecting data about customers to better meet their needs.
