It’s hard not to think of the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering without picturing one of its prominent figures, Professor Emeritus Joseph Palais. The current graduate program chair has worn many hats at Arizona State University over the 64 years he’s been on campus — first as a summer student in 1957, continuing through a storied…

Beyond Silicon is the first $200K finalist in the American-Made Perovskite Startup Prize Countdown Contest. Beyond Silicon is the latest start-up to come out of the Holman Research Group. The team now moves on to the Liftoff Contest. https://www.americanmadechallenges.org/perovskiteprize/

Arizona State University (ASU) has been selected to lead a new Center of Excellence for Energy in Egypt. The five-year, $22 million project is sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and will work to improve the capacity of Egypt’s higher education institutions to drive public and private sector innovation, modernization and competitiveness; strengthen government…

As companies and government infrastructures from around the world face increasing cyber-attacks, two countries have joined forces to help prevent these catastrophic invasions. Known as the Israel-U.S. Initiative on Cybersecurity Research and Development for Energy, or ICRDE, this unique consortium will help combat attackers on energy producers by focusing their efforts on three key areas….

The online delivery of the electrical engineering master’s degree program remains among the country’s most highly ranked.

Wildfires are becoming more widespread and destructive. The total area they burn in the United States has expanded by an average of almost 200,000 acres each year for the past three decades. Financially, eight of the 10 most devastating conflagrations in American history happened during just the last five years. Meanwhile, the global incidence of extreme blazes…

Two years ago, in the early days of a novel coronavirus spreading methodically to almost every corner of the planet, it was something of a race. The planet’s best scientists were trying to keep up. “When the pandemic started, one of the things that became eminently clear was that we were way too slow at…

America’s energy grid is described as the world’s largest machine. More than 11,000 power plants send electricity through 600,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and 6 million miles of local distribution lines to customers in almost every corner of the country. The grid also may be the world’s most impressive balancing act since electricity supply and demand need to…

Deliang Fan has nothing less than bold expectations for his endeavors to expand the capabilities of computing systems and technologies. His far-reaching aspirations involve designing advanced computational hardware to help innovate in some of the most technologically complex areas of engineering and science. He especially wants to make significant advances in high-performance, energy-efficient computing for big…

A new process being developed by Arizona State University researchers enables color printing on a microscale with a simple, inexpensive additive manufacturing process. Chao Wang, an assistant professor of electrical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU, has invented a solution-based additive manufacturing process to “paint with light” on glass and plastics. Wang’s…
