Most current research has focused on the latter, overlooking the inherent SNR losses incurred when conventional, linear-phase detectors are applied to human targets. In fact, human targets have a highly non-linear phase history, made unique by the characteristic periodicities of bipedal motion, and differentiable from that of even other animals. This work aims to exploit the results of human modeling and gait analysis to design detectors specifically tailored to approximate as closely as possible the expected return from a human target. \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Recent ECE Ph.D. graduate Sevgi Gurbuz received the Best Student Paper Award at the 2010 IEEE International Radar Conference, held May 10-14 in Washington, D.C.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Sevgi Gurbuz wins Best Student Paper Award at radar conference."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2010-06-28 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:15","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-06-28T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-06-28T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"64612":{"id":"64612","type":"image","title":"photo of Sevgi Gurbuz","body":null,"created":"1449176753","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:05:53","changed":"1475894569","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:49","alt":"photo of Sevgi Gurbuz","file":{"fid":"192047","name":"tzw05515.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tzw05515_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tzw05515_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":17207,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tzw05515_0.jpg?itok=wAgdmUeH"}}},"media_ids":["64612"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gtri.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech Research Institute"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"154","name":"Environment"},{"id":"146","name":"Life Sciences and Biology"},{"id":"147","name":"Military Technology"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"12113","name":"Bill Melvin"},{"id":"12112","name":"Doug Williams"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"415","name":"Georgia Tech Research Institute"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"171067","name":"Sevgi Gurbuz"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Jackie Nemeth\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"64613":{"#nid":"64613","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Tech Professors Chosen to Attend \u0022Frontiers in Engineering\u0022 Symposium","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJustin Romberg, assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and David Sholl, professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, are two of 86 young engineers selected to take part in the National Academy of Engineering\u0027s (NAE) 16th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium.  \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EEngineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines will come together for the event.

Ultimately, hundreds of thousands of different \nsensors could be included on each chip, enough to rapidly detect markers\n for a broad range of diseases.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u0022Our platform idea is really sensor agnostic,\u0022 said Ravindran.  \u0022It \ncould be used with a lot of different sensors that people are \ndeveloping.

Dr. Rohatgi is also the founder and chief technology officer for Suniva and he is highly regarded as one of the world\u0027s leading research scientists in photovoltaic (PV) technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe primary challenge for solar energy researchers lies in reducing solar cell cost while maintaining high performance. According to Ian Cooper, a UCEP research engineer, the Center aims to use less silicon by cutting wafer thickness, using fewer process steps to create the wafers, and creating high efficiency cells without using exotic materials, resulting in lower overall costs. One of the most highly visible facilities using solar cells developed by UCEP is the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center, which was built for the 1996 Summer Olympics. Since that time, the Aquatic Center has produced 4 GWh cumulative AC energy since July 1996. The Center has been supportive of several educational competitions based on solar power, including the 2003 American Solar Challenge, where students built a solar-powered car, and the Solar Decathlon House Design Project. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETechnology developed in UCEP spawned the development of Suniva in 2007. With its mission to \u0022make solar sensible,\u0022 Suniva manufactures high-value solar cells and modules using U.S.-based technology to address the world\u0027s energy needs. The company currently makes 18+ percent efficiency solar cells and has produced 20+ percent efficiency cells in the laboratory. The company goal is to have 20+ percent efficiency cells in high-volume production by 2011.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAll cell research, design, and manufacturing is based in the U.S., according to Suniva Chairman and CEO John Baumstark. The company now operates three production lines at its Norcross headquarters and employs 150 workers, with plans to build and open a 200,000-square-foot manufacturing plant on 40 acres in Michigan that is expected to employ 500 people. Suniva has customers throughout the world--in the U.S., Europe, South Africa, India, China, and Taiwan--with plans to expand to other locations in Asia, Australia, and South America.

The team is one of five software design teams selected from a large pool of contestants last fall.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Imagine Cup competition is designed to empower students to use technology, innovation and creativity to help solve some of the world\u0027s most challenging social issues outlined in the United Nations\u0027 Millennium Development Goals. From designing mobile healthcare applications to enabling access to quality education for all children and creating games that teach disease prevention, young social innovators are using technology to make a difference in the life of people around the world and in their own communities.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMukhopadhyay is working with two team members from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Yamini Girey and Krishna Rao, to create a Web site known as AwareNet. The site is designed to create an online forum where non-governmental organizations (NGO), volunteers, donors and vendors can interact and share resources.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Mukhopadhyay, the underlying idea of AwareNet is to create a social media enterprise\/network for people who want to help or those who are in need of assistance. \u0022Finding all these distributed resources is a herculean task,\u0022 he noted.  \u0022It would be simpler to have it all under a single roof, and that is where AwareNet steps in.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAwareNet could create a scenario where, for example, a pharmaceutical company in Australia could easily locate and donate medicines to NGOs in far-flung regions such as the Sahara. A key feature of the program is a system where users can rate a particular welfare effort or provider allowing people to evaluate how effectively their donations are being utilized.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Putting such a platform on the Internet will enable people from all over the world to collaborate,\u0022 explained Mukhopadhyay. \u0022Look what Wikipedia has become. Everyone contributed to it and now it is an indispensable resource. Why not do that for welfare?\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMukhopadhyay said that AwareNet could play a vital role in emergency response, such as ongoing efforts in Haiti. \u0022If this project becomes a central repository that people readily refer to, it can become invaluable,\u0022 he noted. \u0022People do not need computers to access the Internet -- phones do the job now. If there were common people in the midst of a crisis like Haiti, the information coming in would be first hand and accurate and almost instantaneous. That would enable organizations to better coordinate and plan rescue operations.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile the Coders Inc. team is optimistic about making it to the World Finals scheduled in Poland this summer, Mukophadhyay values the experience whatever the outcome. \u0022Even if our project does not become anything huge in the future, I am happy that this competition is bringing people together to think about such things. Maybe some of the ideas will succeed and make a better future for all,\u0022 he concluded.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Ph.D. student from the Georgia Institute of Technology is part of a team that has been selected to compete in the 2010 U.S. finals for Microsoft\u2019s Imagine Cup.
