The organization recognized Andrea Goldsmith, dean of engineering and applied science, for her broad contributions to engineering education; Jennifer Rexford, Princeton’s provost, for developing critical computer networking systems; and Robert Kahn, alumnus, for inventing the internet’s founding technologies.
A microarchitecture technique first developed by Princeton researchers in 2002 has won the MICRO Test of Time Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGMICRO community, highlighting the researchers’ prescient insights about the realities of power consumption in high-performance computing.
Mian Liao will work on a new grid forming power inverter architecture and ML-based impedance analysis method to enhance stability in offshore wind systems.
A new design has made error-prone quantum computers up to ten times easier to correct, breaking one of the key log jams in the field. Led by Jeff Thompson, the team demonstrated a way to identify and eliminate errors as they occur in real time, using subtle manipulations of atomic energy levels. This is a new direction for research into quantum computing hardware, which more often seeks to lower the probability of an error occurring in the first place.
Researchers from Princeton and Microsoft have developed a technology that scans fruit on a conveyor belt and assesses its ripeness by sensing sugar and dry matter content. It is one of the first systems to use sub-terahertz frequencies for smart-food sensing. It could help reduce billions of dollars in food waste. The research won Best Paper at the 2023 MobiCom conference on mobile computing and networking.
Pfeiffer, a senior research scholar in electrical and computer engineering, focuses on developing the world's highest-quality systems of charge carriers in gallium arsenide (GaAs). Molecular beam epitaxy…
McCulloch comes to Princeton and the Andlinger Center from the University of Oxford, where he is a professor of polymer chemistry. He previously served as director of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Solar Center and co-directed a center for plastic electronics at Imperial…
Optics specialist Sultan Abdul Wadood has joined Princeton ECE as a 2023 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow, bringing expertise in imaging and communications technologies.
Solar cells made with crystals called perovskites are one such technology that have rapidly emerged as an appealing, low-cost add-on, but perovskite cells are notoriously susceptible to voltage-induced changes — the shade cast from an overhanging tree branch or nearby plant can zap an entire module within minutes.
Now, researchers…
While today’s classical data signals can get amplified across a city or an ocean, quantum signals cannot. They must be repeated in intervals — that is, stopped, copied and passed on by specialized machines called quantum repeaters. Many experts believe these quantum repeaters will play a key role in future communication networks, allowing…
The Moore Foundation recently announced 21 such awards for 2023. Each investigator will receive $1,250,000 over the next five years to advance the scientific frontier in experimental physics.
The Google Research Scholar Program was established in 2021 and is focused on funding research conducted by early-career professors in fields relevant to Google’s interests. Categories for the 2023 scholars include everything from Privacy to Quantum Computing to…
