Daniel Lee, Ph.D., Professor comes to Cornell Tech after 17 years at the University of Pennsylvania where he was the UPS Foundation Chair Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. At Cornell, he will teach in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. His research focuses on understanding computational principles in biological systems, and applying that knowledge to build autonomous robotic systems. Before UPenn, Lee was a researcher at AT&T and Lucent Bell Laboratories in the Theoretical Physics and Biological Computation departments. He was also a fellow of the...

New research from Cornell's Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab examines how popcorn’s unique qualities can power inexpensive robotic devices that grip, expand or change rigidity.

Popcorn-driven robotic actuators, developed by ECE's Kirstin Peterson, is featured in IEEE Spectrum.

Mike Kelley, pioneer of electric field measurements in space, renowned expert on the physics of the ionosphere, inspiring teacher and mentor, died peacefully in Ithaca, NY on June 23, 2018. He was 74.

"The winners, from both innovative companies as well as universities, were announced during the conferences opening keynote session at the 55th gathering of DAC, the premier conference devoted to the design and automation of electronic systems. The Under-40 Innovators Award is sponsored by Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Electronic Systems Design Alliance (ESDA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The award recognizes the top five young innovators, who already have made a significant impact in the field of design and automation of electronics."

ECE Professor Vikram Krishnamurthy has recent new book entitled, “Dynamics of Engineered Artificial Membranes and Biosensors,” published by Cambridge University Press.
