Alexandra Boltasseva, professor of electrical and computer engineering, has been named an IEEE Fellow. She is being recognized for research on new materials for plasmonic and metamaterial nanophotonic devices.

The Material Sciences and Electrical Engineering Building has two new spaces for students thanks to donations from Purdue alumni. The newly named Max W. Brown Atrium has been opened thanks to a donation from Max and Maileen Brown, and the new Bill and Shirley Rice Design Studio will allow for collaborative learning opportunities. Both spaces were recognized with a reception Oct. 29.

David S. Ebert, Silicon Valley professor of electrical and computer engineering, is one of 32 computer visualization leaders recently inducted into the IEEE Visualization Academy. Considered the highest and most prestigious honor in the field of visualization, the Academy recognizes individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of visualization.

Vladimir M. Shalaev, the Bob and Anne Burnett Distinguished Professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Peide “Peter” Ye, the Richard J. and Mary Jo Scwartz professor of electrical and computer engineering are among more than 6,000 highly cited researchers in various fields from nearly 60 nations.

Researchers at Purdue University have engineered ceramic “nanotubes” that behave as thermal antennas, offering control over the spectrum and direction of high-temperature heat radiation.

When the top undergraduate student supercomputing teams convene in Denver later this month, Purdue will again be one of just 16 teams in the competition.

Purdue University researchers have received a $511,946 grant from the Indiana State Department of Health to perform an MRI longitudinal pilot study of Hoosier veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are participating in an experimental treatment.

ECE student Debayan Das paper presented in HOST 2017 has been selected as a “Top Pick” in the field of embedded and hardware security as one of the top 10 papers in the field over the span of last 6 years.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Purdue University $14.5 million to renew funding for another five years for nanoHUB/Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) – a unique, global cyber-community for simulation, research, collaboration, teaching, learning, and publishing.

Evgenii Narimanov, professor of electrical and computer engineering, will present the 2019 Arden L. Bement Jr. Distinguished Lecture on October 28 at 1:30 p.m. in Stewart Center’s Fowler Hall. Narimanov received the award for pioneering the concept of hyperbolic metamaterials in the field of nanophotonics.
