A woman who goes on to a career in academics may find the ratios of male to female even more skewed. In 2012, MIT\u0026rsquo;s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) founded an academic career workshop called Rising Stars. The program is intended to identify and mentor top female graduate students who are interested in pursuing academic careers in electrical engineering and computer science and to help fill the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis year, the program was held October 28-30, 2018, at the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Beginning with a welcome reception and dinner on Sunday night, the next two days were filled with a variety of sessions that ranged from topics on academic job searches to tenure and were presented by 40 different panelists and speakers. There was also a poster session so that participants could share their research with their peers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe reasons for attending the Rising Stars workshop varied by participant, but the overarching desire to learn and grow within a community of female academicians was a common goal.

A workshop session that stood out for Zhu was a \u0026ldquo;Career Trajectories Panel\u0026rdquo; with the key takeaway that female academicians should focus on being the best they can be rather than comparing themselves to others. For Gurel, her most thrilling moment was sharing a dinner table with Alan V. Oppenheim, one of the early pioneers in digital signal processing, who regaled her with stories of exchanging signal processing tutoring for card trick lessons.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOverall, the workshop left participants with an enthusiasm for teaching, new ideas for research, advice on navigating an academic career, and perhaps most importantly, a valuable network for support that they can draw on for years to come.

Chosen for IEEE NSREC Outstanding Paper Award","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAdrian Ildefonso received the Outstanding Paper Award at the 2018 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC). Held July 16-20 in Kona, Hawaii, the IEEE NSREC is the largest international forum for the presentation of advances in radiation effects in electronic devices, circuits, and systems. Since 2006, NSREC has awarded separate accolades for outstanding papers: one reserved for student submissions and one for the best overall conference paper. Since this distinction was instituted, this is only the second time that a student has been awarded the overall Outstanding Paper Award.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIldefonso is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he is advised by John D. Cressler, the Schlumberger Chair Professor in Electronics.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe paper, \u0026ldquo;Optimizing Optical Parameters to Facilitate Correlation of Laser- and Heavy-Ion-Induced Single-Event Transients in SiGe HBTs,\u0026rdquo; was co-authored with Z.E. Fleetwood, G.N. Tzintzarov, J.M. Hales, D. Nergui, M. Frounchi, A. Khachatrian, S.P. Buchner, D. McMorrow, J.H. Warner, J. Harms, A. Erickson, K. Voss, V. Ferlet-Cavrois, and J.D. Cressler. This work, which was done in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington D.C., explores the use of pulsed lasers to emulate the effects of the space environment on electronic devices, circuits, and systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhen energized particles in space, such as ionized heavy ions, traverse electronic systems, they deposit charge, which can generate voltage and current glitches. These glitches, known as single-event transients, can impact the proper operation of spacecraft. To ensure that these effects are not catastrophic, extensive testing is done with the use of particle accelerators. These facilities, however, are fairly expensive and can have limited availability. Thus, pulsed lasers have emerged as a complementary tool to accelerator testing, as they are more accessible and can provide more information than is attainable through traditional heavy ion test campaigns.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne of the big questions in this field is: \u0026ldquo;How can we best reproduce the effects of ions by using pulsed lasers?\u0026rdquo; This paper presents a methodology to obtain quantitative agreement between ion and laser data by optimizing the optical parameters of the laser system. The results show that, with optimized parameters, one can effectively use a pulsed laser to reproduce the transients generated by heavy ions in the studied semiconductor technology. These results are meaningful, as they allow for the use of pulsed lasers to emulate ions encountered in space and predict their effect on space systems. The generality of the presented approach allows for it to be extended to other semiconductor platforms and could be used to qualify electronics for use in future space systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA full-length journal paper based on this conference presentation has already been accepted for publication in the\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Eand will be published in a special issue of the journal in January.

High school students from these different areas were taught all about solar power and how to fabricate organic solar cells. They also visited silicon-based solar parks and were able to experiment with gadgets that are powered by solar energy such as flexible cellphone chargers and toys.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAt the end of the program and with the experience gained, students were able to work on innovative ideas and present them to the community in a poster session about how organic solar cells might impact fields such as climate change, transportation, agriculture, the internet of things (IoT), wearable electronics, biomedical fields, and even world peace.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe good news traveled all the way to Barranquilla, in the northern part of Colombia, where Rosmery Suarez, from STELLAM Foundation, and Diana Gasca, from Tecnoglass Inc., were taking part in an educational program called \u0026ldquo;Cubes in Space\u0026rdquo; (CiS).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECiS is a partnership between IDoodle Learning, Inc. and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that allows students and educators to send their experiments to outer space in a sounding rocket or near to space in a scientific balloon. Suarez and Gasca invited the team in \u003Cem\u003EClubes de Ciencia \u003C\/em\u003Eto join them in CiS. As a result, three of the solar cells produced by the students in Caicedonia were shipped to NASA facilities in August 2018, and they were included as part of the payload for a suborbital flight that took place on September 9, 2018. The solar cells were placed in a soccer court-size air balloon and flew as high as 30 km above sea level. In that part of the atmosphere, the balloon and cells faced extreme conditions, including corrosive mono-atomic oxygen, temperature changes, high frequency UV-radiation, and microgravity.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne of the organic samples (a control sample) was kept on Earth under regulated conditions, so changes in the samples sent to space could be compared with the one kept on Earth.

Those breakers are designed in such a way that a large number of identical modules are connected in series to enable extinguishing the fault current with the arresters embedded in them. Conventionally, these modules are commanded to trip simultaneously, creating significant overvoltage and overcurrent stresses for the rest of the system.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo attenuate these stresses, in this paper, a sequential tripping method is proposed to improve the performance of hybrid DC CBs through commanding the main breakers to trip in a sequential manner. It has been verified that by the proposed method, fault clearance is expedited while the maximum overcurrent is reduced. To address the unbalanced energy absorptions among the different modules of the CB, a modified sequential tripping scheme is also proposed. By rescheduling the sequential tripping sequence, this method enables an equal redistribution of energy, which greatly reduces the risk of thermal overloading.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESun joined ECE as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2015.

The researchers recently received a $200,000 Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award from the McKnight Foundation to create a device that can record electrical action potentials, or \u0026ldquo;spikes\u0026rdquo; within muscles of songbirds and rodents. The technology will be used to help understand the neural control of many different skilled behaviors to potentially gain insights into neurological disorders that affect motor control.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Our device will be the first that lets you record populations of spikes from all of the muscles involved in controlling a complex behavior,\u0026rdquo; Sober says. \u0026ldquo;This technique will offer unprecedented access to the neural signals that control muscles, allowing previously impossible investigations into how the brain controls the body.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;By combining expertise in the life sciences at Emory with the engineering expertise of Georgia Tech, we are able to enter new scientific territory,\u0026rdquo; Bakir says. \u0026ldquo;The ultimate goal is to make discoveries that improve the quality of life of people.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Sober lab previously developed a prototype device \u0026mdash; electrodes attached to flexible wires \u0026mdash; to measure electrical activity in a breathing muscle used by Bengalese finches to sing. The way birds control their song has a lot in common with human speech, both in how it is learned early in life and how it is produced in adulthood. The neural pathways for birdsong are also well known, and restricted to that one activity, making birds a good model system for studying nervous system function.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;In experiments using our prototype, we discovered that, just like in brain cells, precise spike timing patterns in muscle cells are critical for controlling behavior \u0026mdash; in this case breathing,\u0026rdquo; Sober says.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe prototype device, however, is basic. Its 16 electrodes can only record activity from a single muscle \u0026mdash; not the entire ensemble of muscles involved in birdsong. In order to gain a fuller picture of how neural signals control movement, neuroscientists need a much more sophisticated device.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe McKnight funding allowed Sober to team up with Bakir. Their goal is to create a micro-scale electromyography (EMG) sensor array, containing more than 1,000 electrodes, to record single-cellular data across many muscles.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe engineering challenges are formidable. The arrays need to be flexible enough to fit the shape of small muscles used in fine motor skills, and to change shape as the muscles contract. The entire device must also be tiny enough not to impede the movement of a small animal.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Our first step is to build a flexible substrate on the micro-scale that can support high-density electrodes,\u0026rdquo; Bakir says. \u0026ldquo;And we will need to use microchips that work in parallel with 1,000 electrodes, and then attach them to that substrate.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo meet that challenge, the Bakir lab will create a 3D integrated circuit. \u0026ldquo;Essentially, it\u0026rsquo;s building a miniature skyscraper of electrical circuits stacked vertically atop one another,\u0026rdquo; Bakir says. This vertical design will allow the researchers to minimize the size of the flexible substrate.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;To our knowledge, no one has done what we are trying to do in this project,\u0026rdquo; Bakir says. \u0026ldquo;That makes it more difficult, but also exciting because we are entering new space.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Sober lab will use the new device to expand its songbird vocalization studies.

This past year, HyTech\u0026rsquo;s Electric Drive System subteam designed a battery characterization testing procedure and used it to gather data on over 100 battery cells. This data was used to ensure that only cells which met the team\u0026rsquo;s performance specifications were installed in the vehicle. The team is also developing simulations using track data in order to answer questions about the performance requirements needed to finish first in the dynamic race events at the Formula Hybrid competition.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents on the team learn how to use advanced tools and equipment such as oscilloscopes, PCB mills, surface mount soldering stations, 3D printers, laser cutters, and waterjets. \u0026quot;Being a part of the team is a big commitment,\u0026rdquo; says Robert Kuramshin, HyTech\u0026rsquo;s Lead Electrical Systems Engineer and a computer science major. \u0026ldquo;We face many challenges and have to work around numerous constraints when coming up with feasible solutions.

He is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is a member of the Integrated Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (IMEMS) Lab, which led by Farrokh Ayazi.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGupta was honored for his paper entitled\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Precision High-Bandwidth Out-of-Plane Accelerometer as Contact Microphone for Body-Worn Auscultation Devices.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;His co-authors are former and current IMEMS Lab members Yaesuk Jeong, Jaehoo Choi, Mark Faingold, and Anosh Daruwalla, along with Dr. Ayazi, who holds a Ken Byers Professorship in ECE.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this paper, Gupta and his colleagues demonstrated the use of \u0026quot;Accelerometer Contact Microphones (ACM)\u0026quot; as auscultation devices in body-worn sensor arrays. The wafer-level-packaged ACM devices are only a few millimeters on a side and exhibit wide bandwidth (f\u003Csub\u003Eres\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/sub\u003E\u0026gt;10 kHz) and low-noise (\u0026lt;10 \u0026micro;g\u0026radic;Hz), thereby picking up tiny \u0026lsquo;micro-gravity-level\u0026rsquo; accelerations from the body. These MEMS devices use nano-gap electrostatic transducers and are only sensitive to vibrations from their contact surface and not to air-borne acoustic emissions. This attribute makes them ideal for use in wearable applications. Normal breath sounds in the range of 600-1000Hz, along with phonocardiogram (PCG) and ballistocardiogram (BCG)\u0026nbsp;signals, are extracted by mounting the device on the chest of a person.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBy using these ACM devices, a wearable, long-term monitoring system for evaluation of cardiopulmonary health is created. These devices allow physicians to enhance the conventional auscultation method by improving accuracy of diagnosis, serving as an early detection system, as well as enabling them to listen to heart and lung sounds of patients without being limited or compromised by body motion. The wide bandwidth of the ACM allows capturing high-fidelity heart and lung sounds in the audible frequency range (20Hz-20kHz), along with low frequency (\u0026lt;20Hz) BCG signals from the body simultaneously. Additional health parameters such as heart rate and respiratory rate are also extracted.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThese ACM devices can also track body motion and activity, and can also be used in localizing the sound source within the body. The ACM serves as a major step towards the goal of integrating multiple sensors into a smaller form-factor with increased functionality and precision performance and opens new gateways in telemedicine and remote health monitoring.\u0026nbsp;This work was supported by a seed grant from the Georgia Tech Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology\/Emory Center for Micro\/Nano-Engineered Medical Devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp;Pranav Gupta received a Best Paper Award at the Solid-State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems 2018 Workshop, held June 3-7\u0026nbsp;at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student\u00a0Pranav Gupta received a Best Paper Award at the Solid-State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems 2018 Workshop, held June 3-7\u00a0at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2018-06-18 16:05:04","changed_gmt":"2018-06-18 16:05:04","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2018-06-18T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2018-06-18T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"607118":{"id":"607118","type":"image","title":"Pranav Gupta","body":null,"created":"1529329711","gmt_created":"2018-06-18 13:48:31","changed":"1529329711","gmt_changed":"2018-06-18 13:48:31","alt":"photograph of Pranav Gupta","file":{"fid":"231583","name":"Pranav Gupta.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Pranav%20Gupta.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Pranav%20Gupta.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":82799,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Pranav%20Gupta.jpg?itok=pGC15BAp"}}},"media_ids":["607118"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/imems.gatech.edu","title":"Integrated MEMS (IMEMS) Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.hiltonhead2018.org","title":"Solid-State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems 2018 Workshop"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"138","name":"Biotechnology, Health, Bioengineering, Genetics"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"178337","name":"Pranav Gupta"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"178338","name":"Integrated Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (IMEMS) Lab"},{"id":"178339","name":"Solid-State Sensors"},{"id":"178340","name":"Actuators"},{"id":"178341","name":"and Microsystems 2018 Workshop"},{"id":"178342","name":"auscultation"},{"id":"178343","name":"body-worn sensor arrays"},{"id":"178344","name":"Accelerometer Contact Microphones (ACM)"},{"id":"2557","name":"mems"},{"id":"178345","name":"phonocardiogram signals (PCG)"},{"id":"178346","name":"ballistocardiogram signals (BCG)"},{"id":"178347","name":"cardiopulmonary health"},{"id":"178348","name":"Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology\/Emory Center for Micro\/Nano-Engineered Medical Devices"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39441","name":"Bioengineering and Bioscience"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39501","name":"People and Technology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"607119":{"#nid":"607119","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Mukhopadhyay Appointed as Pettit Professor","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESaibal Mukhopadhyay has been appointed to the Joseph M.

Here are three of those stories.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVarun Duggal\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHaving lived in several countries, Varun Duggal has seen how reliable access to energy separates the haves from the have nots in ways both profound and superficial.\u0026nbsp;A seemingly inconsequential act of charging a cell phone can mean freedom, empowerment, and even the ability to support a family in some rural, developing parts of the world. The lack of dependable energy has direct bearing on education, health, and economic opportunities and in many in cases leads to mass migration and over-urbanization. Duggal wants to change the way energy access is addressed in some of the poorest areas in the world. Through his work with distributed energy systems, he hopes to make affordable and scalable systems for rural electrification, bringing energy closer to the point of consumption and bypassing the need to connect remote and rural areas to the grid through expensive infrastructure.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDuggal, an electrical engineering major, grew up in Germany until the age of 10 when he moved to India, his home country. He also attended high school in the Philippines before coming to the United States for his undergraduate studies at Georgia Tech. Living in multiple countries taught him a lot about how access to electricity relates to quality of life, success, and happiness. He also saw how in countries\u0026nbsp;like the United States and Germany with massive, centralized energy grids that feed both rural and urban areas, people have equal access to basic amenities, whether they live in the city or the country. However, this cannot be said for developing countries like India where rural means undeveloped, often lacking enough power and clean water.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;In developing countries, economic prosperity directly correlates to energy access. I could ask someone how many hours of power they get and guess their income. The rural areas of developing countries always get the short end of the stick,\u0026rdquo; said Duggal.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDuring the summer of his third year, Duggal took an internship at \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gridindia.co.in\/\u0022\u003EGrassroots and Rural Innovative Development (GRID)\u003C\/a\u003E an India-based social enterprise aimed at providing affordable electricity and clean drinking water to rural areas of India. India holds 240 million unelectrified people and 163 million of its people don\u0026rsquo;t have access to clean water. At GRID, Duggal was the technical lead on a project that used distributed energy to run water filtration systems designed for villages.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDuggal is also deeply involved in a project to provide affordable off-grid power to a health center in the rural village of Thoman, Haiti, through Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society (PES) and the Opportunity Research Scholars (ORS) program. His ORS team created a scalable system that uses solar energy to provide power for necessities such as mobile phone chargers and lighting in family homes, transforming the lives of the residents. This modular system can be scaled up to meet larger power loads.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Powering your own phone is a huge source of empowerment and having lights means the day doesn\u0026rsquo;t end with the sun. This access to electricity allows entrepreneurship to thrive. Businesses can be conducted on the phone; people can keep working and studying into the night,\u0026rdquo; said Duggal.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter this initial success, Duggal and his team are working on different systems which can power smaller appliances such as fans, TVs, and refrigerators for small businesses and homes. Another aspect of the work that IEEE PES is doing is an initiative to teach Haitian students how to design solar power systems like the ones created by Georgia Tech students. With technical capacity building and training from Georgia Tech researchers and Haitian university students, local entrepreneurs can replicate and scale up these solar systems leading to the development of small businesses in the area.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe day after graduation, Duggal will travel to Haiti to conduct this training program with the IEEE PES Haiti Solar Team. In the fall, he will enter a master\u0026rsquo;s program in Energy Science and Technology at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;There is need to provide energy access for a large part of the global populace and therefore an urgent need to build simple and affordable systems that are replicable and scalable. I need to do more research and contribute further so that I can be a part of the solution,\u0026rdquo; said Duggal.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHiba Murali\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the fall of 2016, the new Interdisciplinary Design Commons (IDC), was just a dream in the minds of ECE leadership. Funding had just been secured to renovate the Van Leer Building Rotunda into a 15,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art makerspace. Ground was yet to be broken and no one knew exactly what to expect, but computer engineering major Hiba Murali knew she wanted to be involved in whatever form the space took.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt was decided that the IDC should have a student group that would provide insight on how the space should be designed and used and would eventually run the space as a nearly autonomous \u0026quot;for students, by students\u0026quot; facility. Murali, who is the vice chair of Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) chapter, joined with a small group of five other students who were interested in spearheading the makerspace\u0026#39;s student organization, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/thehive.gtorg.gatech.edu\/index.html\u0022\u003EThe Hive\u003C\/a\u003E. In 2016, The Hive was founded as an interdisciplinary engineering organization aimed at fostering the growth of the \u0026ldquo;maker culture\u0026rdquo; among Georgia Tech students. In 2017, The Hive was chartered and became an official student organization.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMurali started as the director of communications on The Hive\u0026rsquo;s executive board. Part of her job was to educate the Georgia Tech community about the IDC and its eventual resources and services, but also to find student volunteers to help bear the responsibility of managing the huge space while increasing student engagement and interest in \u0026quot;making stuff.\u0026quot; With the help of faculty advisor Dr. Bonnie Ferri and staff advisor Kevin Pham, the space will be completely run by the student executive board and student volunteers called Peer Instructors.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMurali faced two big challenges as she began to organize events and solicit student volunteers. First, was the misconception that the space is only for ECE students.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026quot;It\u0026rsquo;s open to all Georgia Tech students, no matter their major or class year,\u0026quot; said Murali. \u0026quot;We aim to develop a truly multidisciplinary, collaborative space where students can learn from each other and work together on awesome projects that they come up with.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe second challenge was that fact that the IDC was still under construction. There was growing excitement and interest in the makerspace, but disappointment inevitably hit when students learned that the building wasn\u0026#39;t yet open.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It was a little strange because we were this group that was founded to organize and eventually run the makerspace, but we didn\u0026#39;t even have the building ready to move into yet,\u0026quot; said Murali. \u0026quot;We were kind of homeless, but the benefit was we were building our organization from the ground up in parallel with the actual building. It has allowed us to work on creating the culture of the organization and focus on developing various processes for when the building is finally finished, so we can ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENow that the IDC is nearly complete (the facility is expected to open this summer and add more equipment and resources into the fall), Murali and the others who have been involved from the beginning can really see all of their work come to fruition. And while they aren\u0026rsquo;t out there laying the bricks or installing the windows, there\u0026rsquo;s a genuine sense of ownership.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We didn\u0026rsquo;t physically build the space, but we put the heart into it and built the organization from the ground up, and that\u0026rsquo;s something that we\u0026rsquo;re so proud to share with the Georgia Tech community,\u0026rdquo; said Murali.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe timing of the ribbon cutting couldn\u0026rsquo;t be better for Murali. She plans to enter a master\u0026rsquo;s program at Georgia Tech this fall, so she won\u0026rsquo;t have to miss a minute of the new space in its fully functional glory.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOlatide Omojaro\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EComputer engineering senior Olatide Omojaro, who is originally from Lagos, Nigeria, uses a singular point of motivation as he pursues his academics. He says \u0026ldquo;yes\u0026rdquo; to every opportunity for education because his mother was not able to go to college. Cultural and financial constraints dictated that education was more important for boys. Passed over in lieu of her two brothers, she went on to start her own company with just a high school diploma.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I use her story as inspiration to keep going and to grab each chance presented to me to keep learning. My summer undergraduate research programs, internships, entrepreneurial and volunteer activities, and now graduate school\u0026mdash;it\u0026rsquo;s all for her,\u0026rdquo; said Omojaro.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOmojaro, who will enter the Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering program with a focus on Robotics and Intelligence at Georgia Tech this fall, began his studies at Georgia Perimeter College and transferred to Georgia Tech his junior year. While at Georgia Perimeter, he met with the founders of \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.africanwomenresearchers.org\/\u0022\u003EAfrican Research Academies for Women (ARA-W)\u003C\/a\u003E and joined the team of executives with other collegiate colleagues around the country. The organization pushes to increase the representation of women in professional science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields in developing countries by providing summer research opportunities for female university students in Ghana.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs a member of the board of executives for ARA-W, Omojaro is responsible for analysis of participant data as well as creating a web-based professional social mentoring network. The next goal for the organization is to expand the program into Nigeria and eventually other developing nations, giving more women the opportunities his mother never had.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESo far, Omojaro\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;yes\u0026rdquo; attitude has paid dividends. His work with ARA-W earned him a President\u0026rsquo;s Volunteer Service Award in 2014. He has been granted a GEM Fellowship from the National GEM Consortium and a Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund his graduate studies. But he\u0026rsquo;s mindful of crediting those who helped him along the way: his friends and family, the staff at the College of Engineering\u0026rsquo;s Center for Engineering Education and Diversity (CEED), and his undergraduate mentor Associate Professor Linda Wills.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;My friends and family, Dr. Wills, and the CEED family have been huge components of my support system.

However, one major technology roadblock of applying mm-wave\/THz technologies lies in the lack of low-cost and compact implementations. In his dissertation, Chi presented his\u0026nbsp;design philosophies and approaches towards the development of fully integrated signal generation and detection systems at mm-wave\/THz frequencies using advanced silicon fabrication processes.\u0026nbsp;He envisions that these endeavors will spur growth and advancement in the frontlines of mm-wave\/THz research and enable field-deployable electronic systems for various emerging applications.

Particularly, Dutta\u0026rsquo;s research focuses on collective phenomena, otherwise known as \u0026ldquo;quasiparticles,\u0026rdquo; that confers the advantages of energy efficient computing and maintaining the data even when the power has been turned off. The impact of the research goes beyond the idea of just enabling millions of densely packed devices computing at extremely low power. One can envision that now the results of computation may also be stored in the devices as they are being computed, and in a way may mimic how the human brain works! Advised by ECE Professor Azad J. Naeemi, Dutta has defended his thesis and will graduate with his Ph.D. in May 2018.

A multi-agent system can be anything from a network of robots to a fleet of self-driving cars to a collection of smart buildings, and these applications can face a wide range of practical challenges as the agents work together. The work in the thesis incorporates cloud computing into multi-agent systems to provide new forms of data to agents, and it is shown that these data are useful in solving two fundamental multi-agent problems. First, asynchronous coordination is tackled, and it is shown that by introducing the cloud one allows the agents to successfully\u0026nbsp;work together even when information sharing is intermittent and unreliable. Second, private coordination is considered, and it is shown how agents can collaborate but simultaneously guard sensitive data from each other with the help of the cloud.

Egerstedt and Yorai Wardi, Hale graduated with his Ph.D. in May 2017 and is an assistant professor at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EShoufeng Lan\u0026rsquo;s\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;thesis is entitled\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Plasmonic Metamaterials and an Optoelectronic Platform for Active and Nonlinear Nanophotonics.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;Light, massless photons, oscillating at high frequencies, interact with matter to create the ultimate means of carrying information at unparalleled data speed. Most optical information relies on electrical signals that provide processing at end terminals, which causes a bottleneck of overall data that slows down the speed determined by the distance between electrical and optical devices. Currently, almost all electrical and optical devices are separated onto chips. However, the ideal goal is to have a single device that simultaneously sustains both electrical and optical functionalities. To achieve this goal, Lan\u0026rsquo;s thesis focuses on nonlinear optical phenomena to generate, modify, or detect optical signals by applying electrical biasing on the optoelectronic platform of plasmonic metamaterials. He and his colleagues electrically modulate nonlinear light-matter interactions, such as optical rectification and second-harmonic generation, enhanced by the resonance behavior in solid-state structures and electrolytic solutions, with externally applied voltage signals. Further, with electrically induced nonlinear optics, he and his colleagues rethink optical rules in artificial materials by demonstrating a long-standing prediction, backward phase-matching in negative-index materials, using a plasmonic waveguide scenario. The results reveal the potential of a plasmonic metamaterial as a self-contained electro-optic platform with intrinsically embedded electrical functions and exotic optical properties for signal processing, light switching, and sensing applications. Advised by ECE Associate Professor Wenshan Cai, Lan graduated with his Ph.D. in May 2017 and is currently a\u0026nbsp;postdoctoral scholar at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDeepa Phanish\u0026rsquo;s\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003Ethesis is entitled\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Optimal Clustering and Inter-cluster Routing in Large-scale Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;Sensor networks consisting of a large number of sensing devices connected together\u0026nbsp;with transceivers\u0026nbsp;can be used very effectively to monitor various environments. However, these devices are limited by their energy resources. In view of this, new fundamental analytical tools and distributed algorithms are developed to organize the network for energy-efficient gathering of sensed data and to construct delay-minimizing routes through them. The results are achieved by making broad contributions in the three primary areas of: analytical modeling; simulation of very large networks; and, design, implementation, and deployment of a sensor network testbed. This thesis enables the realization of the future large-scale Internet of Things and opens new avenues for the design of their network protocols. Advised by ECE Professor Edward J.

This approach represents a promising path to keep, and perhaps exceed, the pace of Moore\u0026rsquo;s law.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETSV is a fundamental enabler to 3D integration. The smaller the geometry of the TSVs, especially the diameter, the better the electrical signaling attributes and the lower the thermomechanical stresses. As such, there is a strong motivation for scaling TSV dimensions. Scaling TSVs, however, is challenging as the fabrication of smaller diameters using conventional processes faces limitations. Despite the relentless efforts to reduce the TSV footprint, virtually no results have been reported for high aspect-ratio copper-filled TSVs in bulk silicon with total diameter below one micron.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the first time in this research paper, Abbaspour presents a sub-micron diameter TSV technology that allows for very fine-grain 3D integrated circuits (ICs). To address the challenges in scaling TSVs, novel fabrication techniques including scallop-free low roughness nano-Bosch process and direct copper electroplating on a titanium-nitride diffusion barrier layer have been developed as key enabling modules for this technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe demonstrated sub-micron TSVs feature an aspect-ratio of 16:1 with a 680 nm diameter copper core and a 920 nm overall diameter. To investigate the electrical performance of the scaled TSVs, the electrical resistance is measured and the copper resistivity extracted. In another effort by the group, TSVs with ~100 nm diameter were also demonstrated.

Unfortunately, in order to be effective, NNs need to have the appropriate topology (connections between neurons) for the task at hand and have the right weights on the connections.

These systems are often safety-critical. Safety is traditionally handled as an engineering task that concentrates on avoiding unsafe physical actions. Computer security is traditionally handled by computer scientists who concentrate on information security and integrity. Now that so many critical systems have been entrusted to a combination of computers and physical systems, safety and security can no longer be treated as separate topics.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis special issue of the \u003Cem\u003EProceedings of the IEEE\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;includes a survey article by Wolf and Serpanos that introduces key concepts\u0026nbsp;and trends in the safety and security of cyber-physical systems.
