Co-founded by Robert Erickson of ECEE and Kala Majeti of CU Boulder’s Technology Transfer Office, BREK will use the grant funds to develop the world’s first compact 250 kilowatt (kW) solar string inverter.
Hanh-Phuc Le and his team are working on a more efficient power converter family and power delivery architectures for the future’s “green” data centers.
Two faculty members in electrical, computer and energy engineering have won grants from the U.S. Department of Education to train students with the skills needed to design high-tech materials, and the ability to teach those skills to others.
Alex St. Clair represented the product assurance group on the team developing a new safety-critical embedded system that will be flown on SpaceShipTwo.
Professor Lucy Pao is leading the project as part of a project funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. It aims to solve several issues that have limited the potential of turbines to this point, including the need for ever larger stiff blades to increase power output.
CU Boulder Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering Associate Professor Juliet Gopinath will lead a new multi-university, multi-disciplinary project from the National Science Foundation aimed at fostering collaboration in quantum research.
A new light control system created at CU Boulder could increase the capacity for fiber optic technologies, enable thinner medical endoscopes and allow for stronger industrial lasers.
Irene Peden would go on to Stanford University to earn a master’s and PhD in electrical engineering. Her graduation came with a major distinction—she was the first woman in Stanford history to earn a PhD in any engineering subject.
Andrea Ashley, an electrical engineering PhD candidate working under Assistant Professor Dimitra Psychogiou, also won the grant for her work in consolidating devices that make up radar.
Khurram Afridi and his team have developed a proof of concept for wireless power transfer that transfers electrical energy through electric fields at very high frequencies.
As part of Colorado’s flagship public university, the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering’s students and faculty are committed to pursuing innovative and impactful research in everything from biomedical engineering to solar energy, while also fostering inclusive engineering excellence.
