The ECEE department welcomed several department chairs to CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ for the Western Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Head Association (ECEDHA) fall 2023 meeting on October 19 and 20. 

Associate Professor Taylor Barton earned the prestigious Outstanding Young Engineer award from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S), one of the leading technical professional societies promoting the advancement of microwave theory and its applications, including RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz technologies. 

Through a partnership with Qualcomm Wireless Academy, CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ graduate students now have access to free 5G training courses, as well as the opportunity to earn an industry-recognized 5G certification. Qualcomm is a global leader in semiconductors and wireless technology and transforms how we communicate.

Physicists and engineers at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ envision infrared astronomy telescopes that may one day span the entire globe. That ambition is part of a new project led by Scott Diddams, professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, and funded by a $1 million award from the W.M. Keck Foundation.

Two ECEE faculty members, Eric Keller and Tamara Lehman, are part of a research group leading a major military-oriented project for 5G wireless security.

The Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering is welcoming Emily Jensen community. Jensen is joining as an assistant professor in the systems & controls research area, and will begin in spring 2024. Welcome, Emily! 

Tamara Silbergleit Lehman, an assistant professor of computer engineering, who started as a community college student herself hosted an associates student for a research experiences as part of CU SPUR this summer.

PhD student Jonathan Musgrave earned a 2023 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship for his promising research in laser physics and nonlinear photonics.

Assistant Professor Josh Combes of the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering will use a prestigious NSF CAREER Award to further quantum research and foster the next generation of quantum-aware engineers across disciplines.

Nikhar Abbas received the 2023 European Academy of Wind Energy Excellent Young Wind Doctor award for his wind turbine control systems research.
