Help us congratulate professor of instruction for the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Texas ECE - UT Austin ECE), Nina Telang, as the first woman from the Cockrell School to win the William David Blunk Memorial Professorship Award by The University of Texas at Austin. She is also the first electrical and computer engineer to receive the award 🤘 From developing a course for Ramshorn Scholars to take during their first semester at UT to partnering with the Sanger Learning Center to implement supplemental instruction sessions for all first-year electrical and computer engineering courses to creating a one-credit course that covers the foundational tools to enhancing academic success, Nina has more than earned this award.

The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) has selected the Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE) at The University of Texas at Austin to develop the next generation of high-performing semiconductor microsystems for the Department of Defense.  https://lnkd.in/g69A92eQ

Vakhtang (Vato) Chulukhadze of Texas ECE received the Outstanding Poster Award at the Hilton Head Workshop on Solid-state sensors, Actuators and Microsystems. https://lnkd.in/gGjVyZ4u

UT researchers Ruochen Lu (PI) and Neal Hall (Co-PI) from the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Texas ECE - UT Austin ECE) received a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) award for the research project “Integrated Sensors at High Temperature Using Transferred Piezoelectric Transducers and Epitaxial Transistors” that is developing high performance physical sensors with long lifespans, capable of performing in thermally harsh environments.   Lu and Hall are responsible for micro/nanofabrication, RF design and characterization, transducer design, fabrication, and testing - and are working with investigators from Stanford University and UCLA who specialize in energy-efficient system architecture and electronic materials. The team will develop high-bandwidth, high-dynamic-range analog sensor microelectronics technologies that operate at high temperature without degrading performance. Performance will be validated through the development and demonstration of a pressure sensor module. Lu’s research group leverages micro electromechanical systems technologies to enable chip-scale acoustic and cross-domain microsystems. The lab aims to demonstrate cutting-edge piezoelectric devices and hybrid systems for signal processing, sensing, and computing applications.  Hall’s research is focused in the areas of silicon micromachining / MEMS, advanced transducer development, optics and photonics, and acoustics and dynamics.

Junyuan Hong and Feng Liang have been named MLCommons Rising Stars for 2024. MLCommons Rising Stars are awarded for students "who have demonstrated excellence in Machine Learning (ML) and Systems research and stand out for their current and future contributions and potential." https://lnkd.in/gckXJ4Gu

"If I had to narrow my entire professional scope to one sentence, it would be: I am driven to fundamentally understand the most innovative and important technologies of our generation and turn those technologies from science fiction into real businesses that make a major positive difference in the world." Simeon Bochev received his B.S. in electrical engineering from Texas ECE in 2012. He went on to receive a Master of Science, Finance from the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin, and MBA from Harvard Business School. We sat down with Simeon to talk about what he is doing now, and his time in Texas ECE. https://lnkd.in/gjgMeUaH
