UCLA Engineering: UCLA Engineer Fall 2002

Review Presents Innovative Research

Electrical engineering graduate students are applying domain-specific computing techniques to provide more efficient cryptography methods, creating implantable neural recording devices for the treatment of epilepsy, and developing new approaches to managing the information technology challenges faced by the bio-tech industry.

These advanced research projects are just a few of the topics that will be covered at the 2002 Electrical Engineering Research Review. With approximately 100 presentations from electrical engineering graduate students, the Review showcases the depth and breadth of the groundbreaking research underway in the department.

The Review will be held at UCLA's Covel Commons on Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22 at the Electrical Engineering Department facilities in Boelter Hall and Engineering IV. Consistent with the three major areas of investigation in the department, the Review groups the research presentations into three key tracks: Signals and Systems, Circuits and Embedded Systems, and Physical Electronics.

The Review will begin with a plenary session on Monday, followed by three track parallel sessions, a poster session in the afternoon, and an evening banquet. On the second day of the Review, a morning plenary session will include information on the SMART, MICRO, and CORE programs, the benefits of becoming an Electrical Engineering Department Industrial Affiliate, and a description of classes available to industry on and off campus. In the afternoon, attendees are invited to visit the department for lab tours and individual meetings with professors and their research groups.
