The team behind the original Michigan Micro Mote has gone even smaller, with a device that measures 0.3 mm to a side -- dwarfed by a grain of rice.
AI, weather, and data science would all benefit from storing and processing data in the same place. Professor Wei Lu is working on memristors that could be up to the task.
Singhi (MSE EE:S 1989) shifted from electrical engineering into business, but the technical chops from his engineering studies echo through his career.
Professor Hun-Seok Kim will lead a $5.2m project to develop an SoC that mixes the adaptability of general purpose processors with the efficiency of specialized ones.
Professor L. Jay Guo and his team are applying color-coding to particles that are about the size of color itself, allowing scientists to quickly determine the size of nanoparticles.
In a $6.5m project, Professors Wentzloff, Blaauw, Dreslinski, and Sylvester will work to create an open-source, automated, hardware tool capable of churning out device designs.
Professors Sylvester, Blaauw, and Dreslinski will test tools and provide feedback in a national program that aims to build free, open-source electronic design automation tools.
The College of Engineering’s new research funding approach, based on a startup investment model, gives research teams a chance to try daring ideas and build momentum to secure significant investment.
Zetian Mi leads a Blue Sky Initiative to contribute to clean water and renewable fuel, while Becky Peterson leads an effort to improve how we manufacture the electronics needed for high-power devices.
Four grad students won awards at the flagship conference for those researching antenna, propagation, and radio sciences.
The student aircraft design team provides undergraduates the opportunity to design, build, present, and test real-world aerospace projects.
The team brought a new remote astronaut assistant to the University Rover Challenge in the desert of southern Utah, pulling off a 9th place finish out of 36 competing teams.
Xin Zan, a PhD student advised by Professor Al-Thaddeus Avestruz, won two awards for his research on high-frequency wireless power transfer. Jiyue Zhu, a PhD student advised by Professor Leung Tsang won an award for a new method that will help us better understand how much snow is on the ground.
