Congratulations to CHIMES student Alexander Graening who was a recipient of the SRC TECHCON 2025 Top 10 Best Student Presenter Award!
Alexander attends the University of California, Los Angeles and is advised by Professor Puneet Gupta.
Students and PIs met with representatives from the SRC, DARPA, and industry liaisons for the center's third annual review August 26-27. With 140+ attendees, the event served to display the center's research and progress, with technical presentations, student lightning talks and poster sessions, as well as software and hardware demos.
Congratulations to Professor Krishnendu Chakrabarty (Arizona State) and Professor Shimeng Yu (Georgia Tech), on being selected to receive 2025 SRC Awards.
Chakrabarty was awarded the Innovation Award and Yu was the recipient of the Rama Divakaruni Technical Excellence Award.
CHIMES PI Zhiting Tian (Cornell) was selected to receive the DARPA Director's Fellowship. Tian will receive an additional $500,000 to continue her ongoing DARPA research on "Transient Nanoscale Temperature Mapping of Active RF Devices."
