Namrata Vaswani, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has created a free mathematics tutoring program run by volunteers called CyMath.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Harpole-Pentair Assistant Professor Cheng Huang has been selected for a 2023 National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his project, “Towards 3D Omnidirectional and Efficient Wireless Power.”
CAREER awards are the NSF’s most prestigious awards given to early-career faculty. The support aims to build a firm foundation for leadership in integrating research and education.
“Ever since I was a kid, my dad and I were always in the garage, tinkering, tearing apart old cars,” said Jacob Eisbrenner, Ph.D. student in electrical engineering. “I used to always think about the design of all the different components and how they could be better.”
Department of electrical and computer engineering Harpole-Pentair Assistant Professor Hugo Villegas Pico has been selected for a 2023 National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his project “Advances to the EMT Modeling and Simulation of Restoration Processes for Future Grids.”
Two mechanical engineering faculty, Adarsh Krishnamurthy, associate professor, and Eliot Winer, professor, were recently named Fellows of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
At the forefront of advancing a decentralized framework for reconstructing data from under sampled and noisy signals is assistant professor Shana Moothedath. Her research not only delves into the complexities of efficient data reconstruction but also prioritizes the security of this process.
“I am excited to be a part of the energy transition to renewable resources because electricity is essential to society, and it relates to many other global issues. We have this gift of plentiful resources such as wind and sunlight, and it’s inspiring to think about how that will change the future of energy. Also, as a woman in engineering, I look forward to encouraging and mentoring other women looking to become electrical engineers.”
“I hope to propel technology forward and create a safer world in the process. As an engineer, I hope I can make the world a better place through my work.”
ISU students qualify for national programming competition.
“A coding bootcamp is also a great way to build relationships with like-minded people of similar coding experience, so working together is great when you get stuck. The same idea can be applied to undergrad research, as learning something new is always beneficial, as you never know when you will need to use it,” Prasanna said.
Sunil Gaitonde (MS ’85, PhD ’88 computer engineering) has combined state-of-the-art technology development with an entrepreneurial spirit to drive success at companies helping businesses manage and build their online capabilities.
“I’ve always had a goal of every Iowan understanding basic cybersecurity. But there’s only one of me and 3 million of them,” said Doug Jacobson. Soon there will be many more cyber guardians like Jacobson in Iowa as a legion of trained volunteers help their communities learn cybersecurity.
When Bethany Danley transferred to Iowa State, she found community in WiSE and Alpha Sigma Kappa Women in Technical Studies. Now she’s creating connections for new transfer students.
“During my undergraduate days back home in Nigeria, I studied computer engineering. However, after working at a computing startup, I decided I’d need more in-depth knowledge in a graduate program to become a leader in the quickly evolving world of computing and software.”
