Professor Aaron Wagner and his former students were recognized with the 2022 IEEE Information Theory Society Paper Award for their research employing feedback to improve coding performance. Read more
President Martha E. Pollack announced the faculty members honored with the Stephen H. Weiss Awards, which recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentoring. Read more
After successfully launching small spacecraft out of a novel suborbital accelerator, Cornell Engineering faculty and students may have exciting new opportunities to expand research and exploration of ChipSats. Read more
A group of researchers led by Cornell is unlocking the full potential of aluminum nitride – an important material for the advancement of electronics and photonics – thanks to the development of a surface cleaning technique that enables high-quality production. Read more
Cornell researchers installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size, so the tiny bots can walk autonomously without being externally controlled. Read more
Chenhui Deng and Andrew Butt, Ph.D. students from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, have been awarded a 2022 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship for their proposal “Power Inference with Self-Supervised Learning.” Read more
“Quantum Physics of Semiconductor Materials and Devices” authored by Professor Debdeep Jena, molds scientific subjects such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism, all under the umbrella of the semiconductor materials and devices that have become ubiquitous in daily life.

Intel announced the winners of its second annual Hardware Security Academic Awards which are aimed at advancing innovative research addressing fundamental security challenges and boosting the industry’s ability to deliver more trustworthy foundational technologies. This year, Intel added a Test of Time award to the program honoring papers published more than 10 years ago which have demonstrated a significant and lasting impact in the security field. Cornell ECE Professor Ed Suh is the lead author of the 2003 paper which received the inaugural Test of Time Award: “AEGIS: Architecture for Tamper... Read more
In the quest to miniaturize camera lenses and other optical systems, Cornell researchers have, for the first time, defined the fundamental and practical limits of spaceplates. Read more
The President’s Council of Cornell Women has awarded a PCCW Affinito-Stewart Grant to ECE Assistant Professor Amal El-Ghazaly for her proposal titled “Highly Stretchable Pressure and Curvature Sensor for Soft Robots.” The proposed research aims to develop a stretchable material-based sensor array to provide soft robots with a high-resolution sense of “touch.” When soft robots (which are filled with air) touch an external object, air within the body is displaced and puts internal pressure on other surfaces of the robot in addition to the point of contact. These two simultaneous pressures on the... Read more
