Yujun Chen, an ECE student, has been awarded a 2018 James S. Waters Creativity Award. Â This award is given to an engineering undergraduate for unusual creativity in independent work.
The Theta Rho chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, the IEEE Honor Society, inducted 12 new members on Monday, April 16. Â Eta Kappa Nu was founded in 1904 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne and currently has over 100 chapters.
A team led by Rice physicist Junichiro Kono and graduate student Xinwei Li observed and measured what's known as a Bloch-Siegert shift in strongly coupled light and matter, a condensed matter phenomenon about which others have only speculated. The research could aid in the development of quantum computers.
Six Rice electrical and computer engineering students have developed the hardware and software necessary to coordinate sensor-carrying drones that can evaluate local atmospheric conditions, measure electronic signals such as Wi-Fi, map areas in three dimensions and more.
Rice University researchers will help create the world's first fully programmable and observable wireless communications network in Salt Lake City as part of a national effort to prepare for a rapidly approaching time when virtually everything will demand wireless data.
Jakob Grzesik and Alex Hwang are two of three Rice engineers to earn the honor.
Rice University alumna Sarah Hooper ‘17 has been awarded a prestigious 2018 Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship for graduate education. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at Stanford University, where she is developing new medical imaging devices and computational tools for better and more accessible diagnosis.
Rice University researchers Junichiro Kono and Fumiya Katsutani observed a novel quantum effect in their carbon nanotube film that could lead to the development of near-infrared lasers and other optoelectronic devices.
Rice students Nishant Verma, a junior in bioengineering (BIOE) , Manuel Pacheco, a sophomore in electrical and computer engineering (ECE), Fasai Phuathavornskul, a junior in ECE, and Patricia DaSilva, a senior in BIOE, created For the Love of Learning, an electronics outreach class for kids in grades six through nine.
