Haowei successfully defended his thesis titled, “Ultra-low-power sensors and receivers for IoT applications” this morning. We celebrated his achievements with a “chip cake”! (If you are unfamiliar with this tradition, check out this video.) Haowei will join Apple.
Dr. Hall gave a talk at the NIH symposia on Developing Medical Countermeasures to Rescue Opioid-induced Respiratory Depression.
Dr. Werb and the BioEE Group have been selected as semi-finalists in the Impact Canada Drug Checking Technology Challenge. Read more about the challenge here.
Somok presented his work at the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) on “A 107 μW MedRadio Injection-Locked Clock Multiplier with a CTAT-biased 126 ppm/°C Ring Oscillator.” Read more about it here.
Haowei also presented his work on a “A 2-in-1 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Achieving 62 fJ·K2 and 0.83 pJ·(%RH)2.” Read more about it here.
The UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering rose again in the US News graduate schools rankings. We are now ranked 6th among public engineering schools, and 11th overall. We are up one slot in both categories, compared to last year. UCSD’s research expenditures for FY18 are $188M, which is up 25% from four years ago. This year, we are #3 among public engineering schools for research expenditures per faculty member.
