NC State ECE hosted the second annual Green-G Conference this year — the first time the event has been held in the U.S., bringing together researchers working at the intersection of biology and engineering.

Chaired by Professor Michael Daniele and co-organized by Professor Alper Bozkurt, the May 5-6 conference drew experts exploring how engineering principles can advance biological research, from sensing technologies to bio-integrated systems.

Hosting Green-G put NC State ECE`s growing bioelectronics community on an international stage. 🌱

NC State`s Integrated Circuits and Systems Lab (ICaSL), led by Professor Suresh Venkatesh, is teaming up with Axiro Semiconductor to advance next-generation phased-array and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology.

The collaboration combines ICaSL`s research strength in advanced circuit design with Axiro`s semiconductor manufacturing expertise, aiming to push phased-array systems that can sense their surroundings and communicate at the same time — a capability increasingly important for wireless networks, radar, and autonomous systems.

Partnerships like this one show how NC State ECE research translates into real-world hardware, giving students hands-on exposure to industry-driving technology along the way. 📡

Three NC State students are using engineering and computer science to help tackle real challenges in agriculture through the N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative`s Makerspace.

Computer science student Vy Hoang, computer science major Connery Tran and mechanical engineering student John Glenn II have spent their time at the Makerspace designing tools like a tractor-mounted imaging system and a soil sensor, picking up hands-on skills in soldering, 3D modeling and circuit board design along the way.

Their work shows how engineering and computer science can shape the future of farming, giving these students hands-on experience they`ll carry into their careers. 🌱

Continual learning, solved (almost)! 🧠 ECE Associate Professor Tianfu Wu and PhD student Chinmay Savadikar developed CHEEM, a new framework that helps AI models learn new tasks without forgetting old ones — and use computing power more efficiently along the way. Their work will be presented at CVPR 2026, one of the top conferences in computer vision. Proud to see our researchers pushing the boundaries of adaptive AI!

NC State ECE students Neil Sood and Madeline Wall won the College of Engineering`s Day of Giving 2026 "Dean`s Hide-and-Seek Challenge," tracking down a life-size cutout of former dean (and now NC State Provost) Jim Pfaendtner on the fifth floor of Hunt Library.

The duo pieced together clues shared on the College`s Instagram stories and were first to find the hidden cutout, earning $5,000 in research support. Sood and Wall directed the prize toward ECE Professor Eric Rotenberg`s work on computer architecture and high-performance processors, a nod to his Microprocessor Architecture course, which both students took and loved.

It`s a fun reminder of how Day of Giving connects student initiative directly to research impact. 🕵️

NC State`s new hybrid M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors is preparing engineers for one of the fastest-growing corners of the chip industry, with its first cohort starting this fall.

The program covers silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials that handle higher power and heat than traditional silicon, skills now in demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and aerospace. Faculty and industry partners from companies like MACOM and Wolfspeed helped shape the curriculum around the roles employers are actually hiring for, from device design to power electronics.

It`s a clear example of NC State ECE building graduate programs directly around where the semiconductor industry is headed. ⚡

The technology powering electric vehicles, clean energy and aerospace was largely developed right here in North Carolina. NC State is where that work continues.

We`re launching the Master of Science in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors this fall, the first program of its kind, designed for engineers ready to lead in SiC, GaN and the systems they power.
Applications close June 25.

Neil Sood stood in front of the NC State ECE Class of 2026 and told the truth about what four years actually felt like.

Midnight hours in Hunt Library so sleep-deprived that normal sentences became hilarious. Four days chasing a breakthrough in the 306 lab. Moments of wondering whether he belonged in the major at all.

He framed all of it through three things Jimmy Valvano said everyone should do every day: laugh, think and let your emotions move you.

"In the end, that`s what NC State gave us more than any degree. The space to laugh, the time and obligation to learn and a community to lean on."

"I never could have predicted that that quiet undergrad in my networking class would later become my CEO."

Kim Hazelwood said it plainly. Technical excellence matters. But trust is the currency that keeps opening doors long after your first job, your first team and your first pivot.

"Talent may open the first door. Trust is what keeps opening doors after that."
