Professors Andreas G. Andreou, Ralph Etienne-Cummings and Mounya Elhilali have begun working on a new Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative project.
Prof. Ralph Etienne-Cummings' group is studying the neurophysiology of sensory-motor systems of vertebrate and its application to the development of neuroprosthesis devices for spinal cord injuries and for upper limb replacement.
Professor Kang and his collaborators have demonstrated an imaging and guided system incorporating microsurgical tools for application in vitreoretinal surgery.
Professor Jerry Prince and his group has developed a novel image processing technique based on geometry-driven optical flow warping for spatial normalization of Cortical Surface.
Professor Jim West and his collaborators are developing a dynamic electronic surface to allow blind or visually impaired people to "feel" mathematical graphs, diagrams and other visuals now displayed on computer screens.
Jerry Prince is the William B. Kouwenhoven Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and was selected for his “significant contributions for medical imaging and analysis.”
At the November 2011 meeting of the Council of American Physical Society, Prof. Jacob Khurgin was elected to Fellowship. The announcement letter can be accessed here.
At the November 2011 meeting of IEEE Board of Directors, Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings was elevated to IEEE Fellow "for contributions to neuromorphic sensory-motor circuits and systems."
Mark Foster is recognized for his work on SWiPhT: Scalable Ultra-High-BandWidth Photonic Transmultiplexer. The award will provide funding, mentoring and DoD contacts to allow Dr. Foster to further develop his research.
