Controlling Magnetic Anisotropy in Soft and Hard Materials for Next-Generation Power and Communication Devices
Piotr Kulik
Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida
is speaking on October 2, 2026.
🐺 Computer engineering breaks into the top 20! NC State`s undergraduate computer engineering program is now No. 19 in the nation in U.S. News & World Report`s 2027 Best Colleges rankings.
Among public universities, computer engineering ranks No. 12 and electrical engineering No. 14. The College of Engineering is rising too, moving up to No. 32 nationally (No. 18 among publics) with eight programs in the top 20.
Interim Dean Veena Misra, former ECE department head, credits "engineering excellence at scale." We couldn`t agree more. Proud of our ECE students, faculty and staff! ❤️🏆
🐺 Fall kickoff, Wolfpack style! Despite a rain delay, hundreds of students turned out for POP Back on Centennial Campus, grabbing free food, playing games and connecting with dozens of student groups and employers.
Our ECE community was right there in the mix, kicking off the year by building the connections and community that make Centennial Campus feel like home.
Here`s to a great year ahead! 🎉

☀️ Bright ideas for the power grid! ECE PhD student Arundhuti Haldar co-authored new research showing that combining machine learning models can improve day-ahead solar power forecasts by up to 13% – helping utilities better balance supply and demand as solar energy use grows nationwide.
Published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, the team tested seven forecasting models across two California utilities and found that blending forecasts and tailoring them to each region delivers the biggest gains.
Proud to see our ECE graduate students contributing to research that keeps the clean energy transition running smoothly! 🔋

🎉 Congratulations to ECE Associate Professor Hantao Cui on winning the prestigious IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Prize Paper Award!
Only two papers are selected each year from thousands published across PES Transactions journals, and Cui`s research on Virtual Inertia Scheduling is helping keep our power grid stable as we shift to clean, renewable energy. ⚡
We`re proud to see his innovative work, including the open-source ANDES simulator he developed, representing ECE on the national stage!

See Yourself Here
NC State’s Centennial Campus is full of landmarks, beautiful outdoor spaces, cutting edge research, state-of-the-art facilities and ways to find — and celebrate with — your community.
Stay updated on ECE’s biggest moments all year long.
As one of only two institutions to be home to two concurrent NSF Engineering Research Centers, one of three NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research Initiatives, the home of the Department of Energy’s PowerAmerica Institute, leads the only North America IBM Quantum Hub, and home to one of The Microelectronics Commons’ Hubs, we are ranked among the top academic units engaged in scientific research in the United States.
