Fred Jiang, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Columbia University and co-Chair of the Smart Cities Center in the Data Science Institute.
In their work, Ghaderi and his student provide causal scheduling algorithms for any traffic (arrival and deadline) process that evolves as an ``unknown’’ Markov chain (without knowing what packets with what deadlines arrive in future). Their algorithms significantly outperform greedy maximal scheduling policies. They have shown that it is possible to achieve a constant fraction of ``real-time’’ throughput region in any general network topology, and for any traffic Markov chain, without knowing the Markov chain. Their proposed randomized algorithms achieve at least 0.63 of optimal for collocated networks, and at least 0.5 of optimal for general networks.
Research team is developing an innovative patch device with active sensors to monitor and accelerate the wound healing process. “While wound bandages and dressings are one of the most common clinical tools for acute and chronic wound care, most are passive and cannot actively respond to variations in the wound environment,” says Shepard, a pioneer in bioelectronics. “Active sensing of the wound healing process would be a major advance for clinicians and patients alike.”
We are proud to announce that one of our former EE PhD students, Negar Reiskarimian was selected to the receive the Morton B. Friedman Memorial Award. Her advisor was Prof. Harish Krishnaswamy in the EE department, and she focused on integrated non-reciprocal components for full-duplex wireless applications.
Mateus Corato-Zanarella has been awarded a 2020 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, for their potential contributions to the field of optics, photonics or related field.
The end of May is a time to celebrate and to recognize student achievement in the Department of Electrical Engineering. While in person events are not possible due to Covid-19, the Electrical Engineering department at Columbia University celebrated its students remotely.
The SPIDERS project from Columbia Intelligent and Connected Systems Lab was awarded the Best Demo Award at the 19th ACM/IEEE Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN ’20). The platform was demonstrated to hundreds of participants worldwide virtually.
Ethan Katz-Bassett, associate professor of electrical engineering, was awarded a year-long, $124,667 National Science Foundation RAPID grant to study the impact of people’s changes in behavior on the internet during COVID-19. The pandemic has led to unprecedented and ongoing changes to daily life, including shelter-in-place orders, widespread closing of businesses and schools, and work-from-home and school-from-home at previously unknown levels. These changes in behavior are placing extraordinary demands on the internet .
In light of Covid-19, we are proud to share some positive news about some of our students and researchers in the Electrical Engineering Department at Columbia University who have recently accepted positions as tenure track faculty members.
