External Research Grants Awarded to ECE Faculty

July 31, 2012

Several external research grants were awarded to ECE faculty in June and July, primarily from the NSF. The NSF research grants include two new awards and one continuing NSF. In particular, Dr. Ahmed received $149,921 for the study and design of nano-enabled thermoelectric devices, Dr. Ramaprasad was awarded the last portion of a continuing grant for timing considerations in multi-core environments, and Drs. Tragoudas and Wang received a new grant on the design of threshold logic circuits.

Such prestigious awards are indicative of the quality of research conducted by the ECE faculty. Details are listed below.
