*Awards were presented to the top two research projects at the end of the event, as determined by a select group of ECE faculty judges. This year’s prizes included a Department-sponsored cash grant to be used toward any research-related travel, and Amazon’s first household robot – the Amazon Astro, kindly sponsored by Amazon’s Lab126! Learn more about the technologies and engineering behind the Astro robot here.

Congratulations to our 2022 Research Showcase winners, Maneeshika Madduri and Luocheng Huang!!
