George Westinghouse Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Raj Rajkumar has been named an IEEE fellow, class of 2012. He earned the distinction "for contributions to predictable real-time systems and operating systems," according to IEEE. IEEE bestows its "fellow' grade upon researchers with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. It is the highest grade of membership, and is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and important career achievement. (Read more.)

ECE Professor Diana Marculescu has been named a distinguished scientist for her significant impact on the computing field by the Association for Computing Machinery. "This is a great honor for me from my peers, as less than 10 percent of ACM members ever attain this accolade," Marculescu said.

A pioneer in energy-aware computing, Marculescu is developing novel power management techniques to improve the performance delivered per unit of energy consumed for computer hardware and software. (Read more.)

ECE students made headlines across the country last week when more than 120 tinkerers and gadgeters participated in the department's Build18 initiative, a week of building and speed hacking for students, by students. Now in its third year, the engineering festival encourages groups of students to innovate and create solutions to problems they choose themselves, free from the pressure of tests, exams and formal project reviews. ECE students run the event, coordinating everything from the project applications to finding corporate sponsors. The department kicks in lab space, equipment and conference rooms. The result? A weeklong hackfest that gives students a chance to find their inner entrepreneurs. (Read more.)

At the Center for Nano-Enabled Device and Energy Technologies (CNXT), a multidisciplinary team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers work to harness nanoscale research underway at both the College of Engineering and the Mellon College of Science. The center, which is housed at the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES), primarily focuses on nanoscale research that enables the design of innovative systems for sensing and on future energy generation and storage technologies. The secondary focus of the center is on advanced information and communication technologies.
