Participants in the Electrical & Computer Engineering workshop of the Discover Engineering camp examine minuscule computers, some smaller than a grain of rice at the hallway of 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.

2014 NSF CAREER: Development of high-performance terahertz intersubband lasers
Sushil Kumar pursues research in far-infrared (terahertz) and mid-infrared photonics with quantum-cascade lasers and detectors and nanostructured intersubband semiconductor devices. Currently, he is engaged in projects to develop optoelectronic devices (both light emitters and detectors) based on semiconductor heterostructures in GaAs and InPbased material systems, which operate at far-infrared and mid-infrared frequencies.

To enable emergency responders and others to establish temporary wireless networks in the future,wireless engineering researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have received $6.5 million from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to understand the physical constraints on such networks. University research participants include Sanjay Shakkottai (left), Jeffrey Andrews (center left) and Robert Heath (right), assistant professors in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Peter Stone (center right), is an assistant professor of computer sciences. Jeffrey Andrews is the leader of the project at the university’s Wireless Networking and Communications Group.

Brandon Tarter, right, a masters student in electrical and computer engineering, and Ana Rivero Valles, a masters student in mechanical engineering, make preparations for researching motion sickness mitigation solutions for passengers of autonomous vehicles, before a test run with a research participant at the University of Michigan’s Mcity Test Facility in Ann Arbor on Saturday, November 12, 2022. The research is a project lead by Daniel Schulman and fellow Mechanical Engineering PhD Nishant Jalgaonkar.
Autonomous vehicles create the opportunity for passengers to perform productive tasks during their commutes. However, it is estimated that motion sickness afflicts one in three adults in the United States traveling in passenger vehicles. The aim of their project is to design, build, and test a motion sickness mitigation system such as an active seat, active restraint, active passenger stimuli, and active productivity interface.

Advisor: Radheshyam Tewari, Mechanical Engineering-

Sponsor: Stryker Instruments
Project Overview
We have partnered with Stryker Instruments to
address the market need for improved bone
resection instrumentation by developing a proofof-
concept prototype bone resection device, the
JamJel. The JamJel operates at a sub-ultrasonic
frequency and employs a piezoelectric actuator, or
stack configuration to produce oscillatory motion of
a cutting accessory. Piezoelectric stacks generate
high force, are compact in size, and enable
precise longitudinal displacement control by the
user. The design incorporates three piezoelectric
stacks arranged in a triangular formation around a
pivot plate. Mechanical leverage amplifies the 90
μm piezoelectric stack displacement, permitting
longitudinal, transverse and rotary motion at the
cutting accessory tip, singly or in combination.
Peng Zhou, a postdoctoral research fellow, conducts an experiment on the roof of the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday morning, October 14, 2022.
Zhou and other members of Zetian Mi’s research group are using the large magnifying glass to focus the sunlight directly on a small semiconductor covered in water. The solar energy is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen into individual elements. “Basically, we’re using green energy to extract hydrogen from water,” said Professor Zetian Mi.

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.

J. Alex Halderman, Professor of Electrical Science and Computer Engineering, sips a cup of coffee at Fleetwood Diner in downtown Ann Arbor on February 9, 2017. It was a day removed after the “spoofed” emails were sent. Not one to usually lose sleep over the stresses of his work, Halderman had only slept four hours the night before.

ITC Holdings
Project Overview
ITC Holdings is the nation’s largest independent
electricity transmission company. ITC has
transmission systems throughout the Midwest
and supply a peak load over 25,000 megawatts.
Geomagnetically-Induced Current (GIC) is a
phenomenon caused when solar winds interact
with the earth’s magnetosphere causing DC
currents to be created in AC transmission lines that
can damage transformers and other equipment.
Transformers and GIC mitigation are both
expensive. A GIC monitoring system can determine
what protection and mitigation is required for ITC’s
transmission system. The project is a continuation
from last year to further develop a system not only
to detect GIC but also communicate this data using
the existing ITC networks.

Project Overview
The team was charged with the design and
implementation of a side cargo access and human
entry point on a RAM 1500 truck bed. The forward
section of the truck bed has limited access for
many types of cargo. A forward access system
will provide improved usage of this area and allow
more efficient load and unload activities. The new
design allows ease of access to cargo stored inside
and near the front of the truck bed. It allows ease
of entry into and out of the truck bed. It meets
all functional objectives of a truck bed and door
systems such as durability, sag, set, closing efforts.
The design accommodates typical customer
accessories such as tonneau covers, bed caps, tie
downs and cargo dividers.
