Balanis is the 2021 recipient of the prestigious IEEE Electromagnetic Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.   Recipients of the award must demonstrate “outstanding contributions to the theory or application of electromagnetics.”  Balanis not only meets…

Silicon has long been the standard material for semiconductor devices. Power transistors, which are individual semiconductor switches that regulate the flow of electrical power, have traditionally been made with silicon, while more advanced modern transistors are made of silicon carbide or gallium nitride. Trevor Thornton, a professor of electrical engineering in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part…

When Matthew Marinella left a research role at Sandia National Laboratories after 11 years to become an associate professor of electrical engineering at Arizona State University, he didn’t leave all of his Sandia ties behind. Since joining the faculty of the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools…

The first draft of the human genome took more than a decade of research and cost some $3 billion. Today, new techniques for high-speed DNA sequencing have radically reduced the time and cost to decrypt roughly 3 billion base pairs that form the blueprint for human life. Yet the human genome is far from the…

Twenty years ago, the power grid was run mostly on fossil fuels and nuclear power. Vijay Vittal, a Regents Professor of electrical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, was an influential voice in power grid research during that time. Working with other electrical engineers, he defined stability criteria for the power…
