ECE engineers have introduced a 3D nanoscale imaging technique that reveals how advanced materials convert light into electricity—separating, in real space, the photovoltaic (PV) and photothermoelectric (PTE) contributions that often mix in tiny devices. Led by ECE faculty Ming Liu and CEE faculty Ruoxue Yan and published in Science Advances (link: https://www.science.org/doi/ 10.1126/sciadv.adv7614), the work...
Ran Cheng, an Assistant Professor of ECE, has recently received a $250,000 award from the W.M. Keck foundation, along with three renowned experimentalists. The project is led by Prof. Enrique Del Barco from the University of Central Florida. The W. M. Keck Foundation announces its Science and Engineering Grants twice each year, in June and...
Daniel Enright, Hyunjong Choi, Yecheng Xiang, and Hyoseung Kim won the Best Paper Award at the 30th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS) in May 2024. RTAS is one of the top conferences in the field of real-time embedded systems and is held as part of CPS-IoT Week, a premier academic event...
Assistant Professor Ran Cheng receives the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award for his project titled "CAREER: Monostructural Topological Spin-Insulatronics" with a total award of $615,000 for five years. The goal of this project is to develop a fundamental physical understanding of the subtle interplay between electrons and magnetism in magnetic topological insulators and other...
