A smart baton for conducting an imaginary orchestra, a gesture-controller kitchen carousel, an autonomous luggage following system, and lots of video games. Forty-four student teams were given Raspberry Pi 2040 microcontroller chips to design and engineer their own projects as part of the fall ECE4760 course Digital Systems Design Using Microcontrollers. The course is instructed by Hunter Adams, lecturer in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, who said the course produced more projects in the fall semester than it has in nearly two decades. “Every year, I’m blown away by the...

Karan Mehta, Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University recently received a U.S. National Science Foundation Early Career Development (NSF CAREER) Award from the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS). The award supports his research proposal, “Fast coherent and incoherent control of atomic ions in scalable platforms” for a five-year period from 2024 through 2029 with a total amount of $550,000. According to the NSF, “The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the... Read more
From exploring the mechanics of early-stage bone metastasis to analyzing price formation policies in wholesale electricity markets, Cornell Engineering’s Sprout Awards are funding unique research projects with the potential to grow partnerships across Cornell. Read more
In this Wall Street Journal Video segment, Khurram Khan Afridi, associate professor in electrical and computer engineering discusses the risks of using infrared transmitters under FCC and FDA safety guidelines. "The general limit these days is about one watt of power, so it's very small. A standard light bulb is 60 watts, so even smaller than that," said Afridi. Companies offering air charging use one of three ways to remotely charge devices; radio waves, microwaves, or infrared light. Infrared light delivers significant power at a distance and while it is a slower charging process than... Read more
A research collaboration has found an efficient way to expand the collective behavior of swarming microrobots: Mixing different sizes of the micron-scale ‘bots enables them to self-organize into diverse patterns that can be manipulated when a magnetic field is applied. Read more
