We are pleased to announce that Sevgi Zubeyde Gurbuz and Ali Gurbuz will be joining NC State ECE as Associate Professors in January 2025. Sevgi hails from the University of Alabama where she has served as an assistant professor since 2017. Her research focuses on machine learning and signal processing, cyber-physical human systems, and cognitive radar and sensing. She is currently working on using radar sensing to solve problems in the health sector. Sevgi has secured almost $3M in funding and has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2023 NSF CAREER award. She earned her Ph.D. from GA Tech, and M.S. and B.S. degrees in EE from MIT.
Ali, on the other hand, comes from Mississippi State University where he has been an assistant professor since 2018. His research encompasses signal processing, wireless communication, machine learning, and radar and remote sensing with applications in agriculture and beyond. He has brought in over $11M in funding, including prestigious awards like the 2023 NSF CAREER award, DOD, and USDA awards. Ali obtained his Ph.D. and M.S. from GA Tech and his B.S. in EE from Bilkent University in Turkey.

π Meet Zander Selleseth (@zselleseth), an Electrical Engineering student (Class of 2025) who spent his summer as a visiting researcher at NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA! πβ¨
Selleseth worked on developing circuits for atomic radar sensors and low-power/long-range RFID systems. He also explored the applications of quantum physics for remote sensing and gained hands-on experience with RF/Microwave CAD tools. ποΈπ¬
One highlight of his summer was assisting with demos at the IMS conference in DC, including a Musical Tesla Coil Duet! πΆβ‘
"This experience has shown me that a career in the aerospace industry is a lot of fun and I would love to work at JPL someday," Selleseth shared. He aims to design electronics for spacecraft, contributing to long-term space exploration. π°οΈπ

We are pleased to announce that Qing Gu has received the 2023-24 R. Ray Bennett Faculty Fellow Award. This prestigious award recognizes high-achieving young faculty in the ECE Department and supports their pursuit of cutting-edge research.
Dr. Guβs research is focused on creating nanophotonic components for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), with a special emphasis on quantum-inspired light sources. At NC State, she is part of an interdisciplinary program advancing on-chip device technology by leveraging unique material properties. Her work encompasses Nanolasers and NanoLEDs, Topologically Protected Microlasers, Perovskite Microlasers on Si, and Luminescent Hyperbolic Metamaterials, and she has also begun pioneering work in the field of quantum devices.
Gu is the author of "Semiconductor Nanolasers" and has published 47 peer-reviewed papers. Since 2016, she has been awarded over $3.4 million in funding. She has received numerous awards including the 2020 NSF CAREER Award.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Gu for this outstanding recognition.
