To help mobile device users maximize their limited battery storage, electrical and computer engineering professor Vijay Janapa Reddi and graduate student Yuhao Zhu have developed what they are calling “GreenWeb."

Prof. Ray Chen was invited to give an invited technology transfer tutorial entitled “Silicon Nanomembranes for Sensing Applications” in the 2016 Optical Society (OSA) Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Technology (CLEO) Transfer Program, which was held in the San Jose Convention Center early June. The talk was a summary of Prof.

Prof. Janapa Reddi received this honor  "in recognition for outstanding contributions to the field of electrical and computer engineering and presentation of his lecture on energy efficiency and mobile computing." 
 

The paper titled, “Accurate Phase-Level Cross-Platform Power and Performance Estimation” received the honor at the leading conference in electronic design automation (EDA).

He along with 31 national finalists will be competing for three spots as the 2016 National Laureates.

Prof. Vijay Janapa Reddi was awarded the 2016 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award in recognition of outstanding research contributions in mobile computing and resilient architectures.

The award recognizes the paper titled, ‘Multi-Type Activity Recognition in Robot-Centric Scenario’, which he co-authored with Dr. Ilaria Gori, Dr. Larry Matthies, and Dr. Michael  Ryoo.

Prof. Milos Gligoric has received a grant under the National Science Foundation’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Research Initiation Initiative (CRII) program.

Texas ECE graduate student Ahmed Kord received the 2016 Qualcomm Innovation fellowship for his project titled, ‘Fully-Integrated Reconfigurable Magnet-less Non-reciprocal Components for Next-Generation Wireless Communication Systems’, in collaboration with Columbia University.

Narae Yoon, an incoming Texas ECE PhD student has been awarded the Semiconductor Research Corporation’s (SRC) Company-Named Fellowship in partnership with Intel Corporation. Narae will be starting her first semester as a doctoral student at The University of Texas at Austin’s ECE department in Fall 2016 under the mentorship of Prof. Daniel Wasserman.
