Graduate students from all disciplines participate to give their research Institute-wide exposure and compete for travel awards and scholarship prizes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESadeghian\u0027s presentation was titled \u201cDetector for Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording.\u201d Her research involves synchronization and detection for two-dimensional magnetic recording, a new technology for super high density data storage. A key challenge for this technology is the development of signal processing strategies of manageable complexity that are able to effectively mitigate the two-dimensional interference inherent in the problem. She has developed a detector that can recover all data tracks requiring low signal-to-noise ratio.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe following ECE students also received honors in the competition:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInnovation Finalists\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EReza Abbaspour\u003Cbr \/\u003E Umair Altaf\u003Cbr \/\u003E Franceso Amato\u003Cbr \/\u003E Nishanth Mehanathan\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGTRIC Travel Grant Recipients\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETemiloluwa Olubanjo\u003Cbr \/\u003E Gareth Guvanasen\u003Cbr \/\u003E Robert Schmid\u003Cbr \/\u003E Hanuma Teja Maddali\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENine ECE students receive awards in the Georgia Tech Research \u0026amp; Innovation Conference (GTRIC) Innovation Competition, including one who takes top honors.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Nine ECE students receive awards in the Georgia Tech Research \u0026 Innovation Conference (GTRIC) Innovation Competition, including one who takes top honors."}],"uid":"27842","created_gmt":"2014-03-24 12:11:08","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:16:07","author":"Ashlee Gardner","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"285731":{"id":"285731","type":"image","title":"Elnaz Banan Sadeghian and Keith McGreggor","body":null,"created":"1449244237","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:50:37","changed":"1475894976","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:49:36","alt":"Elnaz Banan Sadeghian and Keith McGreggor","file":{"fid":"199073","name":"megtric1.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/megtric1_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/megtric1_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":57487,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/megtric1_0.jpg?itok=8ferWTSj"}},"285071":{"id":"285071","type":"image","title":"Elnaz Banan Sadeghian","body":null,"created":"1449244216","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:50:16","changed":"1475894978","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:49:38","alt":"Elnaz Banan Sadeghian","file":{"fid":"199022","name":"elnaz_banan_sadeghian.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/elnaz_banan_sadeghian_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/elnaz_banan_sadeghian_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":232597,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/elnaz_banan_sadeghian_0.jpg?itok=_YOUDPRY"}}},"media_ids":["285731","285071"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.sga.gatech.edu\/graduate\/GTRIC","title":"Georgia Tech Research \u0026 Innovation Conference"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"42941","name":"Art Research"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"11723","name":"georgia tech edison prize"},{"id":"89851","name":"Georgia Tech Research \u0026 Innovation Conference"},{"id":"8121","name":"gtRIC"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAshlee Gardner\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnline Communications Manager, ECE\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ashlee.gardner@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eashlee.gardner@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["ashlee.gardner@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
