24,901.6 miles: That’s the distance of the equator of the earth, and Jerry Healy (EE 1969) of Garner has one more mile to go before reaching it!
Amay Bandodkar’s lightweight sensors could make wearable tech more useful and practical.
“We are definitely in a new era where we have new tools to achieve a more conscious and efficient communication with our pets and working animals,” explains NC State’s Alper Bozkurt.
A new AI method (nicknamed “LostGANs”) creates and retains a background image, while also creating figures that are consistent from picture to picture, but show change or movement.
Though he is today chief operating officer at Ben & Jerry’s ice cream franchisee Primo Partners LLC. Eric Taylor’s career journey includes working as an engineer and missile defense systems. “The [electrical] engineering degree that I received...
AZoCleantech speaks with Dr. Alper Bozkurt and Dr. Jay Levine from NC State. The pair teamed up to develop a system that monitors the movement of mussels. The opening and closing of bivalve mollusks can indicate toxins in aquatic environments.
Robert Heath received the Innovator of the Year Award for his seminal work in signal processing and wireless communications. Fred Kish received the John S. Risley Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the success of multiple optical-communication technologies he’s helped...
North Carolina State University graduate and astronaut Christina Koch could be one of the first women on the moon. Koch is one of 18 astronauts named by NASA to train for its Artemis moon-landing program. The space agency is aiming for a landing by 2024.
Ryan Daugherty, a computer engineering student at North Carolina State University, catalogued the required installation process for a DTN ground node. This program repository and related documentation will simplify implementing new DTN ground nodes, making it more...
Before she spent 328 days aboard – and sometimes outside – the International Space Station, Christina Koch spent five years at North Carolina State University.1 And as she prepares to deliver a commencement address to 9,100 NC State graduates in a virtual ceremony...
“Our goal was to create a research tool that can be used to help us better understand the behavior of different regions of the brain, particularly in response to various forms of neural stimulation,” says Yaoyao Jia, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an...
In November 2014, researchers at North Carolina State University fitted cockroaches with electrical backpacks complete with tiny microphones capable of detecting faint sounds. The idea is that cyborg cockroaches, or ‘biobots’, could enter crumpled buildings hit by...
A two-in-one software module could improve many applications built on top of popular deep learning architectures
Astronaut Christina Koch, who graduated from NC State, was named to the Time 100 Most Influential People list.
In October 2019, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir exited the International Space Station and replaced a controller regulating the batteries that store the station’s solar power. But the two astronauts accomplished much more than fixing the space station. They completed...
Semiconductor design experts from industry and academia, including NC State’s Rhett Davis are this year’s winners of the Silicon Integration Initiative’s Power of Partnerships Award, recognizing the Si2 team that has made the most significant contributions to...
Army-sponsored researchers, including NC State ECE’s Aranya Chakrabortty developed a reinforcement learning approach that will allow swarms of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles to optimally accomplish various missions while minimizing performance...
A masking defense in a paper by Aydin Aysu could stop neural networks from revealing their inner workings to adversaries.
A hurdle that DNA data storage faces is finding a way to retrieve a specific file from a collection of records instead of every file in that collection, however attaching short labels to data sequences only yields 30,000 unique labels. NC State’s James Tuck is...
Each year the IEEE Power & Energy Society awards promising students scholarships through its Scholarship Plus Initiative. This year, one hundred and thirty-five students were selected from 78 U.S., Puerto Rico & Canadian universities, including 4 from...
