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.”

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.
