Miniature vacuum pumps for electronics and sensors

ECE researchers have built three different types of record-breaking micro scale vacuum pumps that could greatly extend the capabilities of electronics and sensing devices. They have also taken an important step towards an easily manufactured micro gas chromatography system.

Making the Internet of Things happen

Prof. David Wentzloff is helping to make a worldwide Internet of Things more than a dream through his research in low-power wireless communication, and more recently, through his new startup company called PsiKick.

Research by Prof. Alfred O. Hero, III, Prof. Anna Gilbert, and Dr. Paul Shearer earned Best Paper Award at the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing. The researchers tackled the problem of "camera shake,"which is inevitable in cases where a tripod is not available.

EECS Students Race Down Under

EECS students helped build, test, and drive Generation, the newest solar car built especially for the 2013 World Solar Challenge. Their roles included Head and Race Strategists for the team, Micro Electrical Engineer, and Power Electrical Engineer. One thing they couldn’t anticipate was the gust of wind that blew the car off the road in the middle of the race.
