Ayman Mansour, a doctoral student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, won the Best Poster Award Competition at the 2012 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Southeastern Michigan Section Fall Conference held at the University Of Michigan-Dearborn, Nov. 14, 2012. Mansour's research addressed a significant real-world medical problem – early identification of unknown adverse drug reactions, which causes thousands of deaths a year in the U.S. His innovative approach uses distributed artificial intelligence via computer network. Mansour is working under the supervision of Professor Hao Ying. Mansour is a member of the IEEE Honor Society (HKN), Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi Honor Society, Golden Key Honor Society and National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE).
Mackillo Kira, professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Markus Borsch, PhD student in electrical and computer engineering, work together in Kira’s office going over some of the fundamental light emission properties for semiconductors in the Engineering Research Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, August 17, 2022.
Kira, who is also a physics professor for the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, is the group leader of the Michigan Engineering Quantum Science Theory Lab. He and his team are developing a cluster-expansion-based quantum theory that allows them to realize: semiconductor quantum optics, quantum-optical spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, and Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.

A new array of brain sensors can record electrical signals directly from the surface of the human brain in record-breaking detail. The new brain sensors feature densely packed grids of either 1,024 or 2,048 embedded electrocorticography (ECoG) sensors. They are more flexible and 100 times thinner than the ECoG grids used in the clinic. If approved for clinical use, these new sensors would offer neurosurgeons brain-signal information directly from the surface of the brain's cortex in 100 times higher resolution than what is available today.
A team led by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego reported the new brain sensors in a paper published by the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Congratulations to Luis Palmero Marquez, the valedictorian of Los Angeles Academy of Arts and Enterprise! He will attend UC San Diego to study computer engineering.
Enakshi Deb, an undergraduate student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, cheers as she prepares to launch down the sledding hill near Palmer Commons on the Main Campus of the University of Michigan on Saturday, February 19, 2022. Beside her is teammate Himaja Motheram, an undergraduate student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
The design and build your own sled competition was a collaboration between 1st Gen Engin, a program for first generation students in the College of Engineering, and WECE, Women in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan.

"These women have broken through the glass ceiling. And not only have they broken through it -- they are keeping it open for other women to come through."
-Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman
The Connecticut Technology Council held the awards program to recognize women in the workforce who are innovators, role models and leaders in the fields of technology, science and engineering. Outstanding young women in high school and college were also recognized. More than 500 guests attended this year’s event, which was sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim USA Corporation, Covidien, the law firm of Day Pitney LLP, and United Technologies Corporation.

Participants in the Electrical & Computer Engineering workshop of the Discover Engineering camp tour the ECE building.
Discover Engineering summer camp is designed for Michigan Engineering alumni and the children in their life entering 8th – 10th-grade who want to thoroughly explore various engineering disciplines. Through discussion, hands-on exercises, tours, and Q&A, professors and graduate students will help campers discover the many possibilities that exist for engineers.

Dr. Walter Karlen, a postdoc with UBC's Electrical & Computer Engineering in Medicine research group,
gave UAEM a hands-on tour of the Phone Oximeter and discussed how this technology could be widely distributed to LMIC.
From the project's website (www.phoneoximeter.org/):
"Pairing pulse oximeters with mobile phones will catapult pulse oximetry from the hospital into non-hospital settings. The inherent computing power of the mobile phone, its peripheral resources (LCD display; audio, serial and USB connectivity), battery power and everyday availability offer the opportunity to create a low-cost stand alone device that can be used by non-specialist healthcare workers and even patients at home. Real-time wireless communication of results to specialists offers another distinct advantage over traditional pulse oximeters. We are developing just such as intelligent mobile device, the Phone Oximeter. Some of the potential applications we are exploring are:
-Monitoring anesthesia in the developing world
-Respiratory disease management in our communities"

Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering today (Sept. 29) celebrated the completion of new, cutting-edge research space. The Chiminski Family Collaborative Research Hub is located on the second floor of the Materials and Electrical Engineering Building (MSEE). It was made possible by a generous gift from alumnus John R. Chiminski and his wife Laura A. Chiminski.
A new power saving chip developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego could significantly reduce or eliminate the need to replace batteries in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wearables. The so-called wake-up receiver wakes up a device only when it needs to communicate and perform its function. It allows the device to stay dormant the rest of the time and reduce power use.
The technology is useful for applications that do not always need to be transmitting data, like IoT devices that let consumers instantly order household items they are about to run out of, or wearable health monitors that take readings a handful of times a day.

Computer engineering sophomore Aaron Sanders gets a tribal panther tattoo from Greg Drake at the Splash of Color tattoo shop days before his 20th birthday. Artist Drake designed the piece specifically for Sanders based on Sanders' verbal specifications. While Drake does not consider tribal pieces to be his specialty as a tattoo artist, he has done a great deal of them from arm bands to sleeves to full back pieces.
