Mark Bernstein, writing in the current issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly features some very cool robotics coming out of Princeton Engineering. Check out:
• Robert Stengel‘s robo shop where “students are designing machines that seem to have minds of their own”
• a submersible arm invented by Ben Rush […]
Times Higher Education has just published its world university rankings, with Princeton ranked third among engineering schools. The top five engineering schools are Caltech, MIT, Princeton, UC-Berkeley, and Stanford (in that order).
Princeton Engineering has experienced extraordinary growth of late. During the past six years, sponsored research […]
The BBC reports today that “a miniature magic carpet made of plastic has taken flight in a laboratory at Princeton University.”
The mini magic carpet is a sheet of conductive plastic driven by “ripple power” — waves of electrical current that push thin pockets of air underneath from […]
Princeton’s Andlinger Center director Emily Carter was in Bremen, Germany, earlier this week to receive an award from the
German Chemical Society. The plenary lecture she gave associated with the award ceremony was boldly titled “How Quantum Mechanics Can Help Solve the World’s Energy Problems.”
In the video above, […]
Extremetech and Bostoninnovation.com are reporting on SignalGuru, a network of smartphones mounted on car dashboards that collects information about traffic signals and tells drivers when to slow down in order to avoid stoplights. Princeton Engineering graduate student Emmanouil Koukoumidis and Princeton […]
Electrical engineering graduate student Yihong Wu has been selected a 2011 Marconi Young Scholar for his work maximizing compressed sensing by minimizing noise and waste in transmissions.
In selecting scholars, the Marconi Society “looks for those who not only have shown extraordinary early promise, but whose research already has been published and made […]
Forbes magazine has a fascinating interview with NetApp cofounder Dave Hitz, who describes his experiences at Deep Springs ranch before coming to Princeton. One of those experiences was learning how to castrate a bull (the title of Hitz’s 2009 book).
Hitz says his experience on the […]
H. Vincent Poor, dean of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, this week received an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh.
Poor is a leading researcher in the areas of statistical signal processing, stochastic analysis and information theory — particularly as […]
Wired magazine and others are reporting on the monumental-scale 10,000-year clock that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is building inside a mountain in west Texas.
For Bezos, Wired reports, “the clock is not just the ultimateprestige timepiece. It’s a symbol of the power of long-term thinking. His hope is […]
MSNBC recently highlighted a paper coauthored by Princeton’s Niraj Jha and Chunxiao Li and Anand Raghunathan of Purdue University titled “Hijacking an insulin pump: Security attacks and defenses for a diabetes therapy system.”
The paper, presented at IEEE Healthcom’11 on June 14, demonstrates how malicious attacks can be launched against […]
