Design & Fabrication for Energy & Sensing

Professor Will Scheideler is co-author of "Recent Advances in 3D Printed Electrodes – Bridging the Nano to Mesoscale" published in Advanced Science. The review covers applications in energy and sensing, including emerging fabrication methods. "We report on strategies for transforming polymers into 3D architected metals and ceramics, and how the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence is changing the design of 3D-printed materials," said Scheideler.

Varsha Shukla

IEEE Best Paper Award

PhD candidate Varsha Shukla received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Gender and Technology for her research: "On Addressing Bias and Fairness in Large Language Models for Responsible Innovation in Gender Contexts." This recognition highlights her contributions toward advancing gender-sensitive AI research. "Technology shapes our society in incredible ways, and ensuring fairness and equity in AI systems is critical for fostering inclusivity," said Shukla.

Yoshihiro Nakayama receives the Cryosphere Early Career Award

Cryosphere Early Career Award

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama received the Cryosphere Early Career Award last month at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting, for his work on polar oceanography and Antarctic processes. "I am deeply honored to receive this award. My work integrating observations and modeling is made possible through the extensive support and collaboration of researchers worldwide. I'm grateful for their invaluable contributions."

Professor Hui Fang

NIH Grant Supports New Tools for Neuroscience

Professor Hui Fang's research group was awarded $2.6M over five years from NIH to develop and optimize a new type of microelectrode array probe used for parallel neuromodulator sensing and electrophysiological recording. "Refining and validating this type of probe would directly enable numerous studies in both basic and translational neuroscience, would be applicable to many other devices, such as DBS and sEEG electrodes, and would also bring the technology a significant step closer to commercial manufacturing," said Fang.
