He was selected from a group of 30 nominees in a wide variety of disciplines. The goal of the award program is to recognize Purdue University graduate faculty for their outstanding mentoring of graduate students on campus.

The paper is titled "Nanotextured Superhydrophobic Electrodes enable Detection of Attomolar-scale DNA Concentration within a Droplet by Non-Faradaic Impedance Spectroscopy". She is advised by Professor Ashraful Alam.

Two ECE faculty were promoted to Associate Professor, Niklas Elmqvist and Brent Jesiek. The promotions are effective with the 2014-2015 academic year.

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions. Stephen is advised by Professor David Love.

The selection committee commended Saad on his high-quality proposal titled "Linear (Optimal) Complexity Direct Volume Integral Equation Solvers for Large-Scale Electromagnetic Analysis." He is advised by Professor Dan Jiao.

Farmers, crop advisers, and consultants can use new technology from a Purdue Research Park-based firm run by ECE Professor Johnny Park to organize, store, and share findings from scouting trips to their fields and orchards.

The project, "Augmented Reality Simulator", is also entered in the 2014 Cornell Cup by Intel Competition.

The book, "Optical Metamaterials: Fundamentals and Applications", was co-written by Wenshan Cai. The award recognizes a recent and outstanding book in the field of optics and photonics that has contributed significantly to research, teaching, or the optics and photonics industry.

Researchers have created a new type of "ultracold" molecule, using lasers to cool atoms nearly to absolute zero and then gluing them together, a technology that might be applied to quantum computing, precise sensors and advanced simulations.

He has been selected to be the SEMI-THERM 2014 recipient of the THERMI award in recognition of his contributions to the field of semiconductor device and systems thermal issues.
