Chris Giebink, associate professor of electrical engineering at Penn State, has been awarded a two-year, $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for his research in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The research is focused on increasing the efficiency of OLEDs used for room lighting.
Abhronil Sengupta, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has received the 2019 Outstanding Young Author Award from the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Circuits and Systems Society (CASS).
Kaisheng Ma, a 2018 Penn State alumnus of the doctoral computer science and engineering program, recently received the European Design and Automation Association's Ph.D. Outstanding Dissertation Award.
Patrick McDaniel, distinguished professor of computer science and engineering and the William L. Weiss Chair in Information and Communications Technology in the Penn State College of Engineering, has been awarded a National Science Foundation Frontier grant to establish and lead the Center for Trustworthy Machine Learning.
Teachers, rejoice. A team of Penn State researchers has developed a way to make multiple-choice exam questions easier for instructors to create, yet more intellectually challenging for test-takers. Utilizing machine-learning ranking models, the researchers have proposed a method that automatically generates "distractors," which are the alternative options used to distract students from the correct answer in a multiple choice question.
Kelsie McElroy, a junior majoring in computer science in the Penn State School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, has been named a 2018 Google Women Techmakers Scholar for her advocacy for gender equality in the field of computer science and for serving as a leader and role model for others.
Victor Pasko, professor of electrical engineering, has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) for developing new understanding of lightning driven electrical gas discharges in the upper regions of Earth's atmosphere.
Penn State’s Department of Electrical Engineering hosted a five-day camp on July 23-27, called Anything is POssible for Girls in Elec
Only 24 percent of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs are held by women, and engineering is specifically a career underrepresented by females.
