Cornell students heading to Vanderbilt University for the Clinton Global Initiative University 2023 Annual Meeting will work on solutions for challenges facing their campuses, communities and the world. Read more
Assistant professor Amal El-Ghazaly received an NSF CAREER Award for research that could ultimately make next-generation wireless systems more accessible worldwide. Read more
Researchers designed a new system of fluid-driven actuators that enable soft robots to achieve more complex motions, leveraging the very thing – viscosity – that had previously stymied their movement. Read more
Electrical and computer engineering faculty from Cornell Engineering hold key positions in the newly announced ACE Center for Evolvable Computing, a Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 (JUMP 2.0) initiative sponsored by the Semiconductor Research Corporation. Led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the multi-institutional ACE center aims to advance distributed computing technology, from cloud-based datacenters to edge nodes, so it operates with orders of magnitude more energy efficiency than today. Cornell Engineering is also leading a separate JUMP 2.0 center focused on... Read more
Cornell is leading a new $34 million research center that will accelerate the creation of energy-efficient semiconductor materials and technologies, and develop revolutionary new approaches for microelectronics systems. Read more
The robot’s layered filtration system will gather tiny bits of plastic the size of a sesame seed and smaller, which contaminate ecosystems and damage human and animal health. Read more
Mark Wilde, Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been elevated to IEEE Fellow, recognized for contributions to the relative-entropy framework and theorems for quantum communications. This is the highest grade of IEEE membership and a milestone career achievement. "I've been working hard on research in quantum information science (QIS) for many years now," Wilde said, "so it meant a lot to me personally to receive this news.” Wilde played a critical role in developing new kinds of quantum relative entropies, which are formulas used for quantifying...
