GW Engineering’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department has long been committed to developing technology-oriented solutions for real-world challenges. Last week, the ECE Department hosted an “ECE Blitz” event to highlight a selection of this exemplary, impact-driven student research.
Professors Ahmed Louri, Payman Dehghanian, and Weidong Cao organized the event and reviewed submitted presentations, ultimately selecting six to be highlighted in the first Blitz event. Another six student research presentations will be highlighted during the second Blitz on April 15.
“The purpose is to highlight current research and serve as a platform for students to showcase their research work, receive valuable feedback, and explore potential collaborations that can lead to groundbreaking advancements in Electrical and Computer Engineering,” said Professor Louri. “We aim to encourage interdisciplinary projects, spark innovation, and strengthen connections between students and faculty,” he concluded.
The presentations reflected the wide range of cutting-edge research projects occurring across the ECE department. The event featured the following student researchers:
- Farid Kochakkashani, “On the Use of Battery-Electric Locomotive as a Grid-Support Service in Electric Power Systems” (Advisor: Prof. Dehghanian)
- Zhuoxuan Ju, “Mobile RIS-Channel Estimation with Kalman Filter and Learning” (Advisor: Prof. Doroslovacki)
- Jiaqi Yang, “The High-Performance and Energy-Efficient AI/ML Accelerator Design” (Advisor: Prof. Louri)
- Zeyu Fang, “Offline Reinforcement Learning from Generative Demonstrations” (Advisor: Prof. Lan)
- Erwin Wunderlich, “Feedback Desired: Optimization of Hysteresis Systems Controlled by Feedback” (Advisor: Prof. Korman)
- Egemen Erbayat, “Quantifying and Analyzing the Freshness of Information” (Advisor: Prof. Subramaniam)
The event counted toward the program’s colloquium requirement and included refreshments. The next ECE Blitz will be on April 15 in B1220 at 10 am. Come learn more about the ECE Department’s groundbreaking research!
