PhD student Shanshan Xie has been selected to receive the Cadence Women in Technology Scholarship.

Texas ECE professors Seth Bank and Dan Wasserman, along with Kun Li and Andrew Briggs from their research team, and collaborators from Purdue University and University of Massachusetts Lowell have found a way to create more efficient metamaterials using semiconductors and a novel aspect of physics that amplifies the activity of electrons. 

How can a computer help someone regain motor function? José del R. Millán, Ph.D., a professor in Texas ECE and the Dell Medical School Department of Neurology, tackles this question as he designs brain-computer interfaces that empower people to surpass their limits.

In order to teach students to take what they have learned and turn it into a fully-realized project, students from the EE 319K Intro to Embedded Systems course formed teams of two and competed in a competition to see who could create the best 80s-style handheld game.

Lizy K. John is the latest member of The University of Texas at Austin community to be selected as fellows of the National Academy of Inventors, a prestigious distinction that has been awarded to a select group of 175 academic innovators around the world for 2020.

PhD student Rachel Selina Rajarathnam has been selected to receive the Cadence Women in Technology Scholarship.

Over the course of the past two semesters, 55 Texas ECE students worked on their Capstone Design projects and this week they competed in the Fall 2020 Capstone Design Contest. Winners were announced during the Texas ECE Honors Virtual Celebration on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.

In the courses, students solve open-ended problems in small groups over

Texas ECE held a Virtual Honors event on Tuesday, December 8 to honor students in the graduating class of Fall 2020.

"We celebrate your accomplishments and thank everyone who has made your journey possible, your family and friends, everyone who’s been a source of inspiration and support during this successful, yet not always easy, journey," Said

Their project intends to develop new computational microscopy techniques for reconstructing a sample’s 3D light scattering potential, in order to completely characterize the multiple-scattering behavior of light that passes through a sample and use it to digitally correct scattering effects.

Prof. Deji Akinwande of Texas ECE has been elevated to a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for 2021 for "contributions to wafer-scale graphene synthesis and application to flexible devices."
