Goyal Wins NSF Grants
Professor Vivek Goyal was awarded two NSF grants. One award ($240k) will fund research on frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) lidar. Since FMCW lidar’s accuracy depends on carefully-calibrated and highly-complex hardware, its cost tends to be high. With the goal of reducing this cost, Goyal and his team plan to break the methodology down to first principles, […]
Symposium on Engineering a Smarter Energy Future

Dall’Anese Wins an NSF Grant
Professor Emiliano Dall’Anese won a $380k NSF grant for project entitled “ Online Optimization of Networked Systems Under Uncertain User Decisions and Responses”. The project’s focus is on the design of novel optimization methods required for complex infrastructures under these load conditions. His approach involves the development of algorithms and mathematical strategies which can adapt […]
Dall’Anese and Coskun Win an NSF Grant
Professor Emiliano Dall’Anese in collaboration with Professor Ayse Coskun won a $600k NSF award for project entitled “FlexDC: Flexible Artificial Intelligence Data Centers for Optimized Computing.” The project focuses on developing a framework to regulate data center power consumption within grid and carbon constraints, while simultaneously providing performance guarantees to users. They plan to achieve […]
Venkataraman Wins $3.2M NIH R01 Award
Professor Archana Venkataraman won a $3.2M NIH R01 grant in collaboration with Professor Swathi Kiran in the Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences entitled “Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Post-Stroke Aphasia and Language Recovery”. This project aims to identify appropriate treatments and provide personalized course-of-recovery predictions for individuals with aphasia (impaired speech after a stroke). […]
Batmanghelich Wins NSF CAREER Award
Assistant Professor Kayhan Batmanghelich won an NSF CAREER Award for project entitled “Making Domain-Specific AI Models Steerable by Leveraging Foundational Models”. It centers on the development of a new generation of Vision-Language Models (VLLMs), AI systems that combine image analysis with language-based reasoning. These models will be trained with improved “anatomical awareness” and used […]
Ohn-Bar Wins NSF CAREER Award
Assistant Professor Eshed Ohn-Bar won a National Science Foundation CAREER award for project entitled “Advancing AI for Accessibility with User Feedback”, which aims to build AI systems that adapt to the experiences of real users, beginning with a focus on low-vision individuals. He joined BU ECE in 2020. Read more on ECE News page.
