Electrical Engineering
- Scott Diddams was elected to the National Academy of Engineering Class of 2025 for his outstanding contributions in optical frequency combs and their applications.
- Researchers explored a fluid-based optical device known as an electrowetting prism to steer lasers at high speeds for advanced imaging applications. This new frontier in miniature lasers opens the door to new technologies in microscopy, LiDAR, optical communications and even brain imaging.
- Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and fourth-year PhD student Charles Wade have created an open-source design system software package that uses functions and code to map not just shapes, but where different materials belong in a 3D object. The project, called OpenVCAD, has the potential to transform 3D printing by enabling engineers to design multi-material objects smarter and more efficiently.
- Evan Sharafuddin, a first-year electrical engineering PhD student, has been selected as the recipient of the Dwight E. and Jessica D. Ryland Graduate Fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year who is pursuing wind turbine control research.
- Luca Corradini, associate professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, is advancing energy technologies at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder thanks to a $1.5 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
- Researchers at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder have developed a new bioimaging device that can operate with significantly lower power and in an entirely non-mechanical way. It could one day improve detecting eye and even heart conditions.
- The Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering Department at the University of Colorado Boulder is welcoming four new faculty members. Meet our new faculty and see why we're excited about these talented individuals!
- ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder alumnus Ram Narayanswamy is revolutionizing imaging technology through innovations in meta-optics and ultra-compact camera systems. His 30-year career spans NASA, Intel and now NIL Technology, where he's helping shape the future of how imaging and people see the world.
- Arjun Dalwadi, a third-year electrical and computer engineering student, is immersing himself in all things quantum through the Quantum Scholars program and as an undergraduate researcher in the Gyenis Lab. Dalwadi is on the journey to make an impact for quantum computing.
- Alumni founders from Mana Battery and Manifest Technologies talk about why they chose ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Engineering as the place to launch their startup.
