Upcoming Events
- Francis T. Boesch Electronics Laboratory:
- A variety of electronic test instrumentation has been deployed in a new open laboratory facility located in Burchard 213. This laboratory will provide opportunities for students and faculty members to "play" with advanced electronic systems. The network equipment will be open for the start of the Spring 08 semester..

Center for Intelligent Networked Systems
The Center for Intelligent Networked Systems (iNetS) has been established under the leadership of Prof. Victor Lawrence. The center will explore a range of research topics through which intelligence can be integrated into the network infrastructure(s) and connected end nodes of networked systems.
Dr. Victor B. Lawrence is the Batchelor Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering.
Prior to joining Stevens, Prof. Lawrence was Vice President, Advanced Communications Technology at Lucent Bell laboratories, where he has held a variety of research and management positions for over 30 years. At Lucent Bell Laboratories, Prof. Lawrence was a key proponent of R&D globalization and is championing the effort to bring fiber optic connectivity to Africa. Over the past several years at Bell Labs, he has managed a worldwide R&D organization, with branches in Beijing and Shanghai in China, and in Hilversum and Twente in the Netherlands, as well as in four states of the US. Prof. Lawrence holds several honors, including Fellow of the IEEE and membership in the National Academy of Engineering

Recent ECE News
|
| 2008 Summer NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program underway. Prof. Yao and his colleagues have received a new NSF REU program grant, extending the earlier topic of wireless communications. This program provides undergraduates from various universities with the chance to experiment with and gain an understanding of new technologies for wireless communications. Information on the previous NSF REU grant (which ended last summer) describes the various projects completed in this earlier program |
| Prof. Cristina Comaniciu has published a book chapter "Cooperation for Cognitive Networks: A Game Theoretic Perspective" in Cognitive Wireless Networks: Concepts, Methodologies and Visions Inspiring the Age of Enlightenment of Wireless Communications, edited by Frank Fitzek and Marcos Katz, Springer, September 2007. |
| Prof. Harry Heffes, well known among his colleagues in the ECE Department as having established a long record as an outstanding teacher in both his undergraduate and graduate courses, has received the Stevens Alumni Association Outstandimg Teacher Award in recognition of his performance. His considerable accoomplishments since joining Stevens in 1990 were preceded by a distinguished 28 year career at AT&T Bell Laboratories where he was received the prestigious designation as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. |
