Goyal Receives IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Vivek Goyal won a 2017 IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award. His article, titled “Message-Passing De-Quantization with Applications to Compressed Sensing,” was published in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing in December 2012. Goyal is one of three authors, including Ulugbek S. Kamilov (Washington University in St. Louis) […]
NASA to Launch BU Student-Built Microsatellites
If MacGyver were on a mission to study the aurora, this is the satellite he might build: a grid of scrap solar cells pasted onto an iPad-size green rectangle of circuit board, a six-inch cut of stainless steel tape measure soldered in one corner as a makeshift antenna, and inside, a suite of smartphone-class sensors that anyone can buy on the internet.
BU-Led Study May Explain CTE without Concussions
A new BU-led study published Thursday in the journal Brain suggests that chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by head injuries, not by concussions. The research explains why 20 percent of athletes who exhibited the early stages of the progressive brain illness postmortem never had a diagnosed concussion.

CISE Seed Awards for Innovative New Collaborations
The Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) is soliciting research proposals for funding graduate student research aimed at enabling new innovative collaborations involving CISE faculty. The goal of this CISE seed award program is to help broaden the research of CISE faculty and support the development of new research directions that become mature enough […]
Team of Researchers Awarded $1M Department of Energy Contract
A team of College of Engineering researchers has won a $1 million contract from the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to develop COSSY (Computational Occupancy Sensing SYstem), a system of sensors that can estimate the number of people in a room and adjust air flow in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) appropriately, with the goal of saving energy.
Strength in Numbers: Robots Learn to Work Together
Agriculture. Automotive. Medicine. Biotechnology. Name an industry, and Professor Calin Belta (ME, SE, ECE) can tell you how the field of robotics will impact it—if it hasn’t already.
