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...
ECE Professor and Bourns Faculty Fellow Prof. Amit Roy-Chowdhury has recently received an Amazon Research Award on "Exploring privacy in deep metric learning: applications in computer vision". Deep Metric Learning (DML) aims to learn representations on which semantic relations can be expressed through predefined distance metrics. Despite its prevalence in a wide variety of privacy...
Among all terahertz systems that hold potential in bridging the "terahertz gap" between electronics and photonics, antiferromagnetic materials truly stand out because the quantum spin of antiferromagnetic magnons usually play decisive roles in physical processes, providing a natural connection between the spins of electrons and photons, which is essential for device engineering in the terahertz...
Dr. Fariborz Kargar, Research Engineer and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) will serve as Principle Investigator for the newly funded National Science Foundation (NSF) project on Antiferromagnetic Semiconductors. Dr. Alexander Balandin, Distinguished Professor of ECE and UC Presidential Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering will collaborate as...
