There are some things that I do every day such as teach classes, mentor and advise students in academic, personal, and professional development issues and also independent study projects in robotics. I also write papers, proposals and review papers as the editor of the \u003Cem\u003EASEE Computers in Education Journal\u003C\/em\u003E. In addition, I perform service by participating on committees and directing the robotics minor and Rose Building Undergraduate Diversity Program (ROSE-BUD). Since my school has a special emphasis on undergraduate science and engineering education, it is very student-centered. There are not very many graduate students so it has a much different model for engineering education than Georgia Tech. It is primarily a teaching institution, so the faculty teach all of the courses and the few graduate students that we have are mostly course-based with just a few thesis-based. Some of our graduate students are graders but they did not teach or TA courses or labs.\u0026nbsp; Another unique aspect of my department is that it is very hands on with the majority of the courses also having a lab component. This means that I may teach between 2 and 4 classes a quarter which may be 2 to 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab each.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow did ECE prepare you for your current role?\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003EThe primary way that I was prepared was that I used my experiences in the engineering classroom at Georgia Tech to frame my teaching philosophy and the way that I instruct my students. It was also my experience at Georgia Tech that inspired me to become an engineering professor. I wanted to see more diversity including women and underrepresented minorities and change the face of the profession to look more like the world that I live in. Before this, I was going to simply be an electrical engineer and my post-retirement job was going to be a high school math teacher.\u0026nbsp; Since I actually teach ECE, Georgia Tech gave me the foundational knowledge that enabled me to pursue graduate degrees in ECE related to controls and robotics.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat advice would you give current ECE students?\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003EIt is very important to develop a network and community of support. This is particularly important for women and underrepresented minorities because there are still so few in engineering in general but particularly in ECE. The numbers are low in the profession as a whole as well as the academy. Having a network of classmates for both studying socializing was how I made it through Georgia Tech. It is important to also find a mentor who will encourage you on those difficult days and also provide advice and guidance on academics, career and personal advice to help you navigate the curriculum and profession. The mentor can be cross gender or cross cultural but he or she should have an appreciation for diversity and what it takes to be successful in the field and understand the value of unique experiences. Unfortunately, as a student at Georgia Tech I was not able to find a mentor but thankfully, I was able to identify several during my graduate program. It is also very important to have good time management, organization, study, communication, and leadership skills. Engineering is about more than just being good at math and science. It is about having the ability to effectively communicate ideas and sell others on your ideas while also being a role model and leader.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat do you think is the most important technological breakthrough of the past 20 years?\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003EThis is hard and I would of course be biased. Since my area is robotics, it would be behavior-based robotics in 1986 and how reactive control has changed the way that robotics control systems are designed. Hybrid and feedback controls are topics that I teach in my courses so that students understand the different approaches to implementing AI algorithms on mobile robots to achieve a mission or task. I think that since robotics and in particular Human-Robot Interaction are in their infancy, there is still much to discover to advance the field.\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhen you aren\u2019t being an electrical\/computer engineer, what do you like to do?\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003EI love to spend time with family, in particular my husband and daughter, and also cross stitching, knitting, and crocheting.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIs there anything else you would like to add?\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003ESince I was a dual degree student at Georgia Tech, my experience may be a little different from many. I attended Spelman College for 3 years and Georgia Tech for 2 years. Most of my foundational courses were completed at Spelman, so my time at Tech was particularly intense because I took all engineering courses in 2 years. I also worked several jobs while a student at Tech including in campus dining and at the Spaghetti Factory, which means I had to have a very high work ethic along with time management and organizational skills.

Even during a perceived downtime, EE was one of the top engineering specialties and remains so today. But its popularity translates to a host of challenges for college EE programs. If growth trends persist, greater selectivity may come into play. Programs may also need to invest in more instructional resources. And all of that may take place amidst the ceaseless struggle of how best to prepare students for the real world.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENoting that \u201celectrical engineering has to reinvent itself every 10 to 20 years,\u201d Kudeki emphasizes the importance of carefully crafted curriculum design, course timing, and teaching methodologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe have to be more efficient in teaching electrical engineering because there\u2019s so much more to teach,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a question of how we best deliver the larger amount of knowledge we have.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Illinois program keys on early undergraduate exposure to core EE classes and flexibility in course selection and specialization in the junior and senior years. Incorporating extensive lab components and coursework that is both broad and deep, program design aims to both weed out weak prospects early on and keep survivors engaged and challenged. On that score, it\u2019s succeeded, Kudeki says; three out of four entering freshmen end up earning an EE degree.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKeeping students on track in an ever-demanding discipline requires more innovative teaching techniques. More EE programs are responding by shaking up how subjects are taught, employing technology-aided instruction tools and different teaching methodologies.

Integral to the learning process, their beauty lies in anywhere\/anytime accessibility, she says.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESuch tools help form the spear of efforts to shake up the very nature of the EE instructional process.

Marshall remains attracted to the audio\/acoustics field and is mulling a master\u2019s level study of that or mechanical engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI struggled at first to pick a major, but the more I learned about electrical engineering and how broad it is \u2014 and the number of areas you can pursue with a degree \u2014 the more I was drawn to it,\u201d she says.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe EE program at Tufts University in Medford, Mass., is structured around that perception. Dr. Karen Panetta, associate dean for undergraduate affairs and professor of electrical and computer engineering, says students should be able to understand EE\u2019s many practical applications and close relationship to other engineering specialties \u2014 from mechanical to design to biomedical.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cPrograms are introducing students to a variety of what I\u2019ll call \u2018interdisciplinary applications\u2019 of electrical engineering,\u201d she says. \u201cWe recognize now that there\u2019s no such thing as a pure electrical engineer in a sense.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother 2013 Georgia Tech EE graduate, Adam Kitain, offers proof. After graduation, Kitain found his way into a job as an analytics and database strategy consultant for IBM.

While completing his EE degree, he took classes in the Georgia Tech business school and earned a certificate in finance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt was more interesting to me to understand why RIM was losing market share than \u2018how can I help develop a more efficient RF antenna?\u2019\u201d he says.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EReal-world emphasis\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETomorrow\u2019s EEs are also learning the practical skills they\u2019ll need to perform their jobs.

As the practice of engineering becomes ever more people-focused and team-driven, educators are more pressured to emphasize real-world interpersonal and communication skills alongside the technical. And that seems to be taking place earlier in the educational process now, says Colleen Layman, president-elect of Society of Women Engineers and an EE degree holder.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cTwo decades ago, it wasn\u2019t until senior year that you really got to start putting things you learned together and focus on teamwork,\u201d says Layman, an associate vice president at HDR, Inc., Omaha. \u201cI\u2019m glad to see that EE education has changed to better reflect how EEs work in the real world.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the University of Illinois program, collaborative concepts are emphasized at the earliest stages. Coursework from introductory stages on through to upper-level classes is imbued with the message that \u201cengineers work together, and engineering is all about teamwork,\u201d Kudeki says.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd it becomes essential to senior-year Capstone Design projects that showcase a student\u2019s practical knowledge attainment relative to a chosen specialty or passion.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe Capstone project has many elements in it that address professionalism, ethics, and being able to communicate,\u201d Kudeki explains. \u201cIt\u2019s an advanced composition course as much as it is a design course. Students have to write their initial proposal and various intermediate reports, and the semester ends with a final report as well as presentation in front of their peers.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe interdisciplinary curriculum focus at Tufts is having the effect of producing more complete graduates, Panetta says. When they understand that EE is not practiced in isolation, they\u2019re honing the people skills needed in today\u2019s engineering workplace.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA realistic scenario today, Panetta says, is one where a prospective employer says, \u201cIt\u2019s great you\u2019ve got this kid who can do all the circuit theory, but I really need someone who\u2019s going to be able to go out to my clients who have no technical expertise, be able to redact exactly what they need, and communicate it back to them without them being scared off by it.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EDegree as door-opener\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStill, companies hiring newly minted EEs know as they always have that an EE degree is an essential starting point. Even as more programs stress the softer skills, graduates\u2019 grasp of basic technical knowledge of the field is a given. Even in a complex and rapidly changing field, that\u2019s a sufficient springboard to begin what amounts to the next phase of the educational process: on-the-job training.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERecruiters at Peter Basso Associates, Inc., a Troy, Mich., consulting engineering and building design firm, are finding today\u2019s EE graduates generally well-prepared to step into jobs that demand a firm grasp of both core engineering principles and strong interpersonal communication skills. From there, says one of the firm\u2019s principals, Terry Cleis, it\u2019s about acquainting new hires with Basso\u2019s culture.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe value of an engineering degree is the same as it\u2019s always been \u2014 it basically teaches you how to think and how to logically plod your way through problems,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a process of finding people who have the basic skill set and an eagerness to learn. Intelligent people is what we want.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELikewise, Sparling, a consulting and electrical engineering firm in Lynnwood, Wash., courts graduates with not only the requisite technical grounding, but also a comfort level with working collaboratively.

But Sparling also considers computer, mechanical, design, and audio engineering majors \u2014 even physics majors \u2014 because its work is hard to pigeonhole.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe\u2019re not engineers in cubicles here,\u201d says Karl Pihl, a company principal. \u201cWritten and verbal communications skills are very important since we\u2019re working with architects, owners, and other engineers. We need to be able to speak in layman and technical terms at the right time for the right audience.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELacking those skills, Sparling has found, even top-notch candidates can wash out. A recent new-grad hire came in flashing a 3.9 GPA and letters of recommendation from professors. That wasn\u2019t enough.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe took all of that information at face value, but we found out real quick that some of the \u2018meat\u2019 in terms of working in groups and on projects was very much missing from this individual\u2019s portfolio,\u201d says another Principal Michael Newbury.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EVetting grads\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat experience led to some changes in how Sparling evaluates new graduates. Now, Pihl says, they\u2019re challenging candidates more in interviews to demonstrate a teamwork mentality and reveal how they think. The applicant\u2019s degree, from a university\u2019s satellite program, also demonstrated that not all EE degrees are equal.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cMaybe it\u2019s a matter of faculty, staff, research resources, and facilities, but it seems to us like there\u2019s some work to do to get those satellite programs up to snuff relative to their main campuses,\u201d Pihl says.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EInternship and co-op programs help reduce such hiring misfires, and that common industry practice has continued to grow. A tighter labor market, more graduates, engineering specialization, and cutthroat competition for business have likely boosted reliance on \u201ctest drives\u201d to vet prospective talent.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBasso routinely has co-op students on staff \u2014 about half of whom come onboard, Cleis says. Sparling quickly inserts most of its interns into \u201creal paying projects with real deadlines,\u201d Pihl says, as a way to size them up and expose them to the nuances of the work they\u2019d be performing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat\u2019s also an important consideration for S-E-A, Ltd., a Columbus, Ohio, forensic engineering firm. One of its electrical engineers, Sam Sudler, says students it brings on as interns benefit from early exposure to a very specialized application of what\u2019s taught in school. They\u2019re being evaluated, he says, for the ability to \u201cuse scientific methods to collect information, analyze it, and develop hypotheses.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPreparation for a world in which new technological frontiers are constantly opening and communication and collaboration are essential will be academia\u2019s call to action in educating tomorrow\u2019s electrical engineers. As more students pursue EE degrees, curricula will have to continue adapting to ensure that candidates are getting both the fundamental and specialized knowledge and basic skills that will translate to the marketplace. Engineering educators may be uniquely qualified to do that.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cAs engineers we\u2019re innovators,\u201d Ferri says. \u201cWe like to think of ourselves in EE or CE as \u2018the magic makers.\u2019 We have to think of new ideas and better ways of doing things.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAs college students surge into electrical engineering degree programs, educators are pressured to find the best methods of teaching an evolving body of knowledge.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech ECE Professor and Associate Chair Bonnie Ferri was one of the faculty members who was interviewed for this article, which was first published in the November 2014 issue of Electrical Construction \u0026amp; Maintenance Magazine.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"As college students surge into electrical engineering degree programs, educators are pressured to find the best methods of teaching an evolving body of knowledge."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2014-12-01 15:13:02","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:17:37","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-12-01T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2014-12-01T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"350841":{"id":"350841","type":"image","title":"Bonnie Ferri lectures prior to in-class exercise.","body":null,"created":"1449245702","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:15:02","changed":"1475895078","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:18","alt":"Bonnie Ferri lectures prior to in-class exercise.","file":{"fid":"201101","name":"bonnie_ferri_lectures_prior_to_in-class_exercise.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bonnie_ferri_lectures_prior_to_in-class_exercise_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bonnie_ferri_lectures_prior_to_in-class_exercise_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":4758236,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/bonnie_ferri_lectures_prior_to_in-class_exercise_0.jpg?itok=_MS_qpYr"}},"350851":{"id":"350851","type":"image","title":"Bonnie Ferri works with students on an in-class exercise.","body":null,"created":"1449245702","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:15:02","changed":"1475895078","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:18","alt":"Bonnie Ferri works with students on an in-class exercise.","file":{"fid":"201102","name":"bonnie_ferri_works_with_students_on_an_in-class_exercise.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bonnie_ferri_works_with_students_on_an_in-class_exercise_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bonnie_ferri_works_with_students_on_an_in-class_exercise_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":5294656,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/bonnie_ferri_works_with_students_on_an_in-class_exercise_0.jpg?itok=ur0mkA50"}}},"media_ids":["350841","350851"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=47","title":"Dr. Bonnie Heck Ferri"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/ecmweb.com\/design\/ee-evolution","title":"Link to article"},{"url":"http:\/\/ecmweb.com\/","title":"Electrical Construction \u0026 Maintenance Magazine"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"132","name":"Institute Leadership"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"33191","name":"Bonnie Ferri"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"346451":{"#nid":"346451","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Hanju Oh Chosen for Top Poster Award at IEEE Conference","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHanju Oh received the first place poster award at the IEEE Global Interposer Technology Conference, held November 5-7 at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center.

A vestibular prosthesis can potentially improve the quality-of-life for persons suffering from balance or vision problems caused by bilateral vestibular dysfunction, disorders associated with the brain and inner ear. By replacing the function of peripheral vestibular organs, the prosthesis senses 3D angular and linear head motions by using inertial sensors and selectively stimulates the corresponding vestibular neurons. Toreyin\u2019s paper reports on the first integrated circuit (IC), known as a vector matrix multiplier, designed to improve the effectiveness of stimulating vestibular neurons. Operating in the CMOS subthreshold region, the IC performs a 3-by-3 vector matrix multiplication of rate sensor outputs to reduce misalignment between implanted angular rate sensors and associated peripheral sense organs, and provides a means to precompensate for unwanted electrical stimulation of vestibular

In the past, researchers have studied the use of thermoelectric coolers (TEC), which provide additional cooling when a current is passed through the device, for on-chip cooling. Embedding a TE module (TEM) within the package has shown potential for on-demand cooling of ICs, but the need for this additional energy reduces the effectiveness of TECs and has been a key concern for their use.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis work presents and experimentally demonstrates a major step to alleviate this challenge. Mukhopadhyay and his team have developed an on-chip thermoelectric energy management system for energy-efficient, on-demand active cooling of integrated circuits. The proposed on-chip system monitors the IC temperature and provides cooling during critical thermal events by sending a current through the TEM. When the temperature is not high enough, the same TEM is used to harvest the otherwise wasted heat energy generated by the IC and reduce the net cooling energy. The design is implemented in a CMOS test-chip and tested with a thermoelectric device. The successful demonstration of this control system will fuel innovations in thermoelectric devices, as well as in the architectural techniques to address the thermal challenges of future processors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E******************************************\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPictured in the above photo from left to right are\u0026nbsp;Khondker Zakir Ahmed, ECE

However, to realize the energy-efficiency potential of STTRAM in designing energy-efficient processing architectures, the interactions between the unique device physics of STTRAM, processor architecture, and the applications must be understood. This paper presents a modeling and analysis framework that can be used to understand these interactions, particularly from an energy perspective.

This new type of computing architecture that stores information in the frequencies and phases of periodic signals could work more like the human brain, to do computing using a fraction of the energy of today\u0027s computers.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. student Abhinav Parihar is working with Arijit Raychowdhury, and associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, on understanding synchronization phenomenon in coupled relaxation oscillators along with collaborators from Penn State and Cornell University.\u0026nbsp;Recent experimental demonstrations of coupled integrated oscillators using Vanadium dioxide (\u003Cem\u003EVO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Csub\u003E2\u003C\/sub\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E) by Professor Suman Datta\u2019s research group in Penn State are being studied by researchers in Georgia Tech who have further demonstrated the associative computing nature of such oscillatory systems.\u0026nbsp;Vanadium dioxide (\u003Cem\u003EVO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Csub\u003E2\u003C\/sub\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E) is called a \u0022wacky oxide\u0022 because it transitions from a conducting metal to an insulating semiconductor and vice versa with the addition of a small amount of heat or electrical current. In a device configuration this oxide has been connected, via negative feedback, to create sustained oscillations that can be electrically coupled to neighboring oscillators using appropriate coupling functions. This coupled system could provide the basis for non-Boolean computing.

Young, a collaborator and co-author of the research and a Senior Fellow at Intel Corporation. \u201cThere is a global search for information processing elements that use computational state variables other than electronic charge, and these devices are being sought to bring in new functionalities and further lower the power dissipation in computers.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the main motivations behind the search for a next-generation computing switch beyond CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) devices is to sustain the advancement of Moore\u2019s Law. Nanomagnetic\/spintronic devices provide a complementary option to electronics. The added functionality of this option includes the non-volatility of information on-chip, which is in essence a combination of logic and memory functions. However, to benefit from the increase in density of the on-chip devices, there has to be adequate connectivity among the switches\u2014which is the focus of the Georgia Tech research effort spearheaded by Azad Naeemi, an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmong the potential alternatives, devices based on nanoscale magnets in the field of spintronics have received special attention thanks to their advantages in terms of robustness and enhanced functionality. Magnets are non-volatile: their state remains even if the power to the circuit is switched off. Thus, the circuits do not consume power when not used\u2014a very desirable property for modern tablets and smart phones.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the most important aspects of any new information processing element is how fast and power efficient they can communicate over an interconnect system with one another. In today\u2019s CMOS chips, more energy is consumed communicating between transistor logic functions than actually processing of information. The Georgia Tech research has therefore focused on this important aspect of communicating between spin-logic devices and demonstrates that interconnects are an even more important challenge for beyond-CMOS switches.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo analyze spintronic interconnects, the Georgia Tech team and their Intel collaborators have developed compact models for spin transport in copper and aluminum\u2014taking into account the scattering at wire surfaces and grain boundaries that become quite dominant at nanoscale dimensions. The research team has also developed compact models for the nanomagnet dynamic, electronic and spintronic transport through magnet to non-magnet interfaces, electric currents and spin diffusion. These models are all based on familiar electrical elements such as resistors and capacitors and can therefore be analyzed using standard circuit simulation tools such as SPICE.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis work is showing the way for how spintronics can create energy-efficient computation by including not only the spin logic functional circuit blocks, but also the interconnect system parameters,\u201d said Jon Candelaria, director of Interconnect and Packaging Sciences at SRC. \u201dThis will help establish a much more realistic and accurate prediction of computing performance and power with spintronics.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe research paper was presented at the IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference on May 24 in San Jose, Calif., (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.iitc-conference.org\/novel-systems-ii.html\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.iitc-conference.org\/novel-systems-ii.html\u003C\/a\u003E).

Cardiovascular monitoring at home could improve the quality of care and life for these millions of patients, and reduce healthcare costs for all Americans. Rather than reacting to catastrophic cardiac events such as heart attacks or strokes in the emergency room, care could be delivered proactively by tailoring treatment strategies to the changing needs of the patients. To accelerate this transition from reactive to proactive care, we need systems-level innovations in multi-modal physiological monitoring and signal interpretation. These solutions would leverage advances in embedded systems and sensor technology to achieve accurate and robust monitoring of clinically relevant parameters in the home.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn work started at Stanford during my doctoral studies advised by Professor Gregory Kovacs, and now continuing at the Georgia Institute of Technology in my group (Inan Lab), my research has focused on creating such systems for non-invasive cardiovascular monitoring at home: specifically, I am interested in improving the available methods for unobtrusively measuring mechanical aspects of cardiovascular function. One example is a modified electronic weighing scale designed to monitor the electrical and mechanical health of the heart [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#2\u0022\u003E2-4\u003C\/a\u003E]. With this scale, I measured fluctuations in bodyweight resulting from the movement of blood throughout the vasculature - the ballistocardiogram (BCG) - and combined physiologic insights with feature extraction concepts to interpret the BCG signals and uncover their potential clinical relevance. The BCG is a measure of the mechanical forces of the body in reaction to cardiac ejection of blood into the vasculature, and was originally measured using elaborate tables and beds in the mid-1900s [e.g., [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#5\u0022\u003E5\u003C\/a\u003E]]. By connecting the strain gauges in an electronic weighing scale to custom electronics, and developing dedicated algorithms for pre-processing and feature extraction, I was able to measure and interpret the BCG signal measured from a person standing upright on a scale [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#2\u0022\u003E2\u003C\/a\u003E].\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESubsequently, I conducted multiple clinical studies with healthy and diseased populations in collaboration with cardiologists in the Stanford Medical School, local clinics, and recently with Dr. Liviu Klein and Professor Shuvo Roy at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine to demonstrate the efficacy of this device for home health monitoring. In the work at Stanford, together with other engineers (Drs. Giovangrandi, Etemadi, and Wiard) and clinicians (Drs. Liang and Froelicher), I demonstrated that the BCG signals from the modified weighing scale could accurately track changes in a person\u0027s cardiac output [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#3\u0022\u003E3\u003C\/a\u003E], cardiac contractility [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#6\u0022\u003E6\u003C\/a\u003E], and beat-by-beat left ventricular function during arrhythmias [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#2\u0022\u003E2\u003C\/a\u003E]. On the engineering side, we found that the BCG measurements were repeatable, and developed techniques for improving the robustness to motion artifacts and floor vibrations [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#7\u0022\u003E7-8\u003C\/a\u003E].\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost recently, I am leading efforts at Georgia Tech in developing systems for accurately measuring the BCG signal with wearable sensors. This could allow the assessment of a person\u0027s cardiovascular performance during normal activities of daily living, by monitoring the hemodynamics in response to various stressors. Previous efforts to measure the BCG with wearable sensors have used accelerometers affixed to the torso skin or head, but the resultant waveforms from these measurements are significantly different from those measured in the traditional BCG literature and from the scale system. Their interpretation as \u0022BCG\u0022 signals is thus unclear, and techniques developed for BCG signals may not directly transfer over to the wearable domain. Fundamentally, the BCG represents the movements of the center of mass of the body in response to the heartbeat, while an accelerometer on the body measures the local accelerations of the torso skin or head. My group has recently found that relating these locally measured accelerations to whole body displacements is possible with a transfer function, but can be subject-dependent, and we have thus made recommendations for optimal placement locations of the accelerometer for capturing BCG information [\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lifesciences.ieee.org\/publications\/newsletter\/may-2014\/553-novel-technologies-for-non-invasive-cardiovascular-monitoring-at-home#9\u0022\u003E9\u003C\/a\u003E].

His vision at Georgia Tech was to create a broad program that addressed basic unsolved research problems in a context that also emphasized application development, deployment, and education.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThanks to this approach, Georgia Tech attracted substantial research and development funds and several stellar faculty members in the mid-1970s. This group formed the founding core of the Center for Signal and Image Processing (now known as the Center for Signal and Information Processing), considered one of the world\u2019s most preeminent groups of digital signal processing academic and research faculty. In fact, he is the third faculty member from ECE to receive the Kilby Signal Processing Medal. Previous recipients include ECE Professor James H.

This work was the Georgia Tech Ph.D. research of Mark J.T. Smith, Barnwell\u2019s past student who is now the dean of the Graduate School at Purdue University.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EBarnwell also developed cyclo-static multiprocessor architectures, a class of optimal solutions for many core DSP algorithms on synchronous multiprocessors. This work has increasing value as multiprocessor architectures become more common, and it has already been used for optimizing algorithms on single and multiple DSP processors.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHe and his collaborators developed objective measures for speech quality testing, which led to the first book in this area that was co-authored by Barnwell, ECE Professor Mark A. Clements, and Schuyler R. Quackenbush. Also a past Ph.D. student of Barnwell\u2019s, Quackenbush is currently the chair of the MPEG Audio Subgroup \u2013 a position he has held since 1998.

NATO made this technology its standard in 2002 and has been called the most influential speech coder of the early 21\u003Csup\u003Est\u003C\/sup\u003E century. Primarily the Georgia Tech Ph.D. research of Alan McCree, another Ph.D. graduate of Barnwell\u2019s program, it achieved the rare accomplishment in which academic Ph.D. research led directly to a federal and NATO standard, all in less than a decade.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the mid-1990s after returning from a leave of absence to work at ASPI, Barnwell spearheaded a campuswide effort, led largely by ECE faculty, to create a technology enhanced education program. In 2002, that effort became more formalized with his appointment as director of the new Arbutus Center for Distributed Engineering Education, which created, tested, and distributed new technologies for education applications, as well as content development and education delivery tools to other educational institutions.

A WSN node repeatedly charges and discharges at short intervals, depending on the energy intake.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this paper, Tentzeris and his colleagues introduce an adaptive duty cycle control scheme optimized for RF energy harvesting, which maximizes the sensing rate by taking into account the leakage problem, a factor that has never been previously studied in this context. The control scheme improves the efficiency by aggregate evaluation of operation reliability and leakage reduction.\u0026nbsp;The proposed approach could find numerous applications in the realization of truly autonomous wireless nodes for the Internet of things, smart skins, structural health monitoring systems, and quality-of-life biosensors and chemical sensors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, Tentzeris is among the world\u2019s top researchers in conformal 3D integrated RF modules, inkjet-printed RF electronics, \u201cgreen\u201d electronics, and power scavenging.
