UW ECE Assistant Professor Akshay Gadre is an expert on wireless networks. He is exploring emerging application areas for this technology while helping his students bridge the gap between theory and practice.
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 is making historic investments in semiconductor research, workforce development and manufacturing. Learn how UW ECE is prepared and well-positioned to leverage these opportunities.
UW ECE Assistant Professor Sajjad Moazeni is developing a new type of computer chip for use in data centers. This “smart” chip will help make AI and machine learning applications faster, more powerful and energy efficient.
UW ECE Associate Professor Payman Arabshahi was recently named site director and principal investigator at the UW for this new, multi-institutional, NSF-funded Center.
Wunsch has been named by IEEE as recipient of the 2023 Computational Intelligence Society Neural Networks Pioneer Award for fundamental contributions to the understanding and development of neural networks.
Poovendran will be the UW lead for a new, multi-university institute, which is developing approaches that leverage AI to defend against cyberthreats that target the security and privacy of computer networks and their users.
