Purdue ECE PhD student Supriyo Maji is one of the winners of the 2017- 2018 Circuit Analysis and Design Contest, organized by the IEEE Solid State Circuit Society (SSCS). The goal of the contest was to engage both undergraduate and graduate students in thought provoking circuit analysis and design problems.

A team of faculty and students from Purdue’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has won $750,000 at the first preliminary event of DARPA’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2).

Researchers are applying the same ‘hydrodynamic transport model’ used to study flow in fluids to explain heat transport in a solid semiconductor, with potential implications for the design of high-speed transistors and lasers.

Purdue University will lead a new national center to develop brain-inspired computing for intelligent autonomous systems such as drones and personal robots capable of operating without human intervention. The Center for Brain-inspired Computing Enabling Autonomous Intelligence, or C-BRIC, begins operating in January 2018.

A new platform enables high-quality 3-D video communication on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets using existing standard wireless networks.
