ECE Professors Hyoseung Kim (PI), Amit Roy-Chowdhury, Jay Farrell, and Konstantinos Karydis have received a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop Attention-Driven Software Architecture for Integrated Perception and Planning in Autonomous Agents. While significant progress has been made in developing autonomous systems, effectively processing and making sense of vast amounts of sensor data in real time remains a challenge, especially for small robotic agents with limited computing capabilities. To address this problem, this project will create an attention

Last year, UC Riverside scientists Shane Cybart and Ludwig Bartels and colleagues at UC Irvine received $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE, to team up with Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in building a diverse educational pipeline in the field of microelectronics.

Mihrimah Ozkan, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Riverside, is recognized in Turkey for her work in addressing climate change by receiving the Selcuk Yasar Award. 

Yitian Wang, a Ph.D. student from the Xi Chen group in Electrical and Computer Engineering, won the Recommended Oral Presentation prize at the 2023 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting Symposium CH03: Neutron Scattering-Enabled Energy Materials Design. The MRS meeting is the world’s foremost international scientific gathering for materials research. Wang's talk, "Intrinsically low thermal conductivity and lattice dynamics in single crystals of garnet-type solid electrolyte," showcased the use of neutron scattering to investigate thermal properties in next-gen battery materials.
