ECE & ME Assistant Professor Joseph Andrews and his team have developed a printed sensor to economically measure nitrates in soil. This technology would allow farmers to dispense a more precise amount of fertilizer which could reduce both material costs and the harmful effects of nitrates leaching into groundwater.

Meet our newest faculty member, Assistant Professor Mahima Gupta. An ECE alum (MSECE'15, PhDECE'19), Dr. Gupta’s research will explore innovative approaches to meet the challenges of next-generation power electronics conversions and controls, modular multilevel power converters, motor drive systems, and electromagnetic noise due to fast switching power semiconductor devices. Welcome (back) to ECE, Prof. Gupta! Faculty profile: https://lnkd.in/gU_9Ks59
The new U.S. News & World Report rankings are out, and no matter how you look at it, ECE graduate programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are a force. #9 among public universities and #15 among all universities. On, Wisconsin! https://lnkd.in/exTCJ9Eg UW-Madison College of Engineering
Congratulations to Hongyan Mei on successfully defending her thesis titled, 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘴. "This thesis is about the precision characterization and engineering of optical properties within the infrared spectrum, aiming to push the boundaries of current optical technologies. Using advanced techniques like Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry, we have refined our understanding of material interactions with infrared light."-Mei Faculty Advisor: Assoc. Professor Mikhail Kats UW-Madison College of Engineering
In this article, On Wisconsin Magazine shines a light on the life of ECE alum Song Kue (BSEE'82), UW–Madison's first Hmong graduate. Read on to learn about several lesser known Badger scientists, including Kue, who have made significant contributions to their fields. https://lnkd.in/g4PcReay
