Lihong Wang, who earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering while working with two Nobel Laureates at Rice, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, which cited him for his “inventions in photoacoustic microscopy enabling functional, metabolic, and molecular imaging in vivo.”Â
The assistant professor of computer science has joint appointments at Rice University in electrical and computer engineering, and in statistics.
What brought Tittel to Rice was a still-new technology, the laser (light amplification by simulated emission of radiation). The first was built in 1960 by Theodore H. Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories.Â
ECE students Christopher Metzler and Ewa Nowara are among the award recipients.Â
After over five years of dedicated service as executive administrator, the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department bids farewell to Carrie Toffoletto before she transitions to the Office of the Provost.Â
Carbon nanotube electrodes are flexible like wet noodles, but researchers at Rice University have developed a method to implant them in brain tissue.Â
Science Advances featured a paper about Flatscope TM, a miniature lensless microscope that can produce micrometer-resolution, high-frame rate and three-dimensional fluorescence imaging.
Victoria Leyton, Lead Research Administrator of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), was recently bestowed the nationally recognized Certified Research Administrator credential by the non-profit entity known as the Research Administrators Certification Council.Â
Frank K. Tittel has been named co-recipient of the 2018 IEEE Medal for Environmental and Safety Technologies.
Edward Knightly, the department chair at Rice University, has been named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for 2017.
