ECEE student wins national award for support of women in engineering
People told Elizabeth Jones for years that she couldn’t be an engineer. But she knew that not only could she become one, but so could many others who didn’t fit engineering stereotypes. Now, the fourth-year electrical engineering student in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University has been named one of the top contributors to…
ASU alum wins dissertation award for wearable medical device
During his time as a doctoral student at the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, one of the seven Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, Ganapati Bhat envisioned a device that could change the lives of patients with movement disorders. His wearable medical device could replace the need to capture parameters for bodily…
“Ultra materials” spark ideas for a more efficient power grid
When electricity travels from its source to your home, it undergoes several conversion processes as it moves through the power grid. Ensuring the quality of the electronic devices used to manage and convert power is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the power grid as a whole. Arizona State University will receive $12.4 million from…
Engineering innovations to enhance the performance of wireless systems
In the early centuries of sailing the open seas, often the only navigation tool was the human eye. Ships’ crews found their way by coordinating their paths based on observing the positions of the constellations of stars and planets in the sky. Communications back then were equally old school. If ships were too far apart…
