Thanks to Google for visiting Engineering Building II and sharing insights with our students this week — we loved learning straight from the Googlers themselves. 🐺🔍
#HireThePack #ThinkAndDo
Brenda Rubenstein from Brown University shared how quantum hardware can be used to model key biochemical reactions such as ATP hydrolysis. By combining machine learning with quantum computing, her team is gaining new insights into enzymatic catalysis that could help accelerate the discovery of new therapeutics.

Last Wednesday, NC State ECE students turned career goals into connections at the Golden Opportunities Career Fair at the McKimmon Center.
They met leading employers in electrical and computer engineering and explored next steps in their careers.
Thanks to all who came out and made the fair a success.
What started as a conversation at the ECE Career Fair led Hayden Flo ’26 to a summer internship with Analog Devices in Wilmington, Massachusetts, near Boston. He developed a forecasting tool for aerospace and defense customers that demonstrated how technical solutions can align with broader business goals.
“The best way to learn is to throw yourself into situations where you don’t have all the answers and see what happens,” Flo said.

Congratulations to NC State ECE Assistant Professor Suresh Venkatesh on being selected to participate in the 2025 EU-US Frontiers of Engineering symposium hosted by the National Academy of Engineering.
Venkatesh will present his lab’s research on Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) platforms, which enable a single wireless infrastructure to perform tasks like high-resolution imaging, tracking, and object detection — while simultaneously supporting high-speed secure communications.
The EU-US FOE gathers approximately 60 early-career engineers (30 from the U.S., 30 from the EU) from academia, industry and research institutions to foster collaboration and share cutting-edge developments.
📍 Bordeaux, France
📅 October 20-23, 2025

◼ Connections that expand beyond the classroom
How matching works
We use the details you share -- degree path, fields of interest, organizations, hobbies and goals -- to pair you with a mentor who fits your direction.
Apply now: http://ncst.at/Zhiw50WM6b1
Applications are open through early September. Don’t miss the chance to connect with alumni who have been where you are and can help you take the next step.
This summer, Ph.D. student Ta-Seen Reaz Niloy is helping build the future of wireless systems at Tiami Networks in California.
She’s applying her NC State research in satellite sensing and spectrum sharing — and learning what it takes to turn innovation into impact.

Incoming ECE students got a head start this week at the Skills Up Workshop. 🐺🤟🔬
Participants explored breadboarding, multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes, and more — building confidence and excitement before their first ECE labs.
It was inspiring to see students engage, tinker, and dive into hands-on learning as they prepare for their journey in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Thanks to all who participated!
🌄⚡Maria Stubbendick ’25 isn’t spending summer in a lab — she’s crossing ridgelines in the Rockies and hardwood forests in the Carolinas, logging nearly 900 miles while sharpening the mindset she’ll bring to the grid.
A master’s student in electrical engineering with a certificate in Renewable Electric Energy Systems, she’s focused on how we integrate renewables and build resilience. Long trails demand systems thinking, adaptability and resourcefulness — the same tools energy engineers use every day.

Tiny fossils. Smarter robots.
ECE researchers turned microscopic marine fossils into photorealistic 3D models to teach robots shape recognition. The breakthrough could accelerate fossil identification in climate science and drive innovation in agriculture and healthcare.
From ocean floor to lab bench, NC State is transforming how we build smarter machines.
