Research Showcase 2023
Thursday, March 9, 2023
5 – 7 p.m. (Pacific Time)
HUB North Ballroom
Our 7th annual UW ECE Research Showcase featured cutting-edge research projects from our very own electrical and computer engineering graduate students. Visitors had a chance to review their posters, speak with the students and their advisers and learn more about the exciting projects underway across the various labs in the UW ECE department. The Research Showcase was also a perfect opportunity for visiting prospective students to learn more about the Department’s research.
Research Showcase is the UW ECE Department’s premier event for students to showcase the exciting research projects they are working on in labs and groups across all areas of ECE. This event allows our students to present top research in a variety of areas with societal impact. The topics covered include AI, medical device technologies, power and energy, transportation, the environment, wireless communications and many more.

*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!!
