Chips2Future
The inaugural Chips2Future summer engineering immersion, piloted and led by UW ECE faculty, offered undergraduate students an intensive primer in semiconductor design and production, hands-on practice in world-class facilities, and visits to many of the companies that now produce 90 percent of the world’s advanced microchips.
A legacy of learning
Last spring, UW ECE Professor Emeritus Les Atlas unexpectedly passed away. Over his career, Atlas helped shape fields ranging from digital signal processing to machine learning, mentored generations of students and researchers, and co-developed the world’s first portable cochlear implant speech processor.
Students build smarter devices with embedded AI
Students in the UW ECE Professional Master’s Program, including (from left to right) Bita Massoudi, Jayce Gaddis, and Devika Nair, are learning how to embed advanced AI capabilities into resource-constrained electronics.
Training the next generation of microchip designers
In new undergraduate capstone courses taught by UW ECE professors Chris Rudell and Ang Li, students are working together in teams to learn how to design and build microchips for real-world applications.
Yiyue Luo — developing intelligent wearable technology for healthcare, robotics and human-computer interaction
UW ECE Assistant Professor Yiyue Luo is known for her work in intelligent, or “smart,” textiles. At UW ECE, she and her students are expanding this relatively new line of research into other forms of intelligent wearable technology.
UW ECE introduces virtual reality training for students to help fill crucial semiconductor jobs
Through a new virtual reality training platform, UW ECE students are gaining immersive cleanroom experience before entering the Washington Nanofabrication Facility for hands-on lab work.
