Cornell University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is pleased to announce Professor Vikram Krishnamurthy’s move to the Ithaca Campus from Cornell Tech. Krishnamurthy will continue his research in statistical signal processing, stochastic control & optimization with applications in socio/economic networks and adaptive sensing. He will be teaching a new graduate course in Bayesian Estimation and Stochastic optimization starting in Fall 2019. Krishnamurthy is the author of the books, “Dynamics of Engineered Artificial Membranes and Biosensors” (2018) and “Partially Observed... Read more

Cornell University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is pleased to announce Assistant Professor Christoph Studer’s move to Cornell Tech for a two-year term starting July 1, 2019. While at Cornell Tech, Studer will continue his research at the intersection of algorithm development, algorithmic theory and digital integrated circuit design. Cornell Tech’s location in New York City will enable him and his research group to more closely interact with a number of companies working on next-generation wireless communication systems and embedded machine learning. Studer’s VLSI... Read more

Rick Johnson, an engineering professor on the Hill—and, at the risk of a mixed metaphor, something of a Renaissance man. At Cornell since 1981, Johnson has spent decades teaching and doing research in electrical engineering, particularly in the fields of control systems and signal processing. But over the past twelve years, his interests have entailed as much art as science. A pioneer in the field of computational art history, Johnson leverages both his engineering acumen and his abiding passion for art to study the physical materials with which works are made. Read more
