Dan and Jean Eddleman: Turning Roadblocks Into Stepping Stones

Dan, a Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering alumnus, and Jean, a Department of Biological Sciences alumna, want to ‘pay it forward.’ The couple’s three-part planned gift to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative and the Division of Academic and Student Affairs will help support NC State students for years to come.

Second Annual Green-G Conference Explores Intersections Between Biology and Engineering

At an interdisciplinary meeting held May 5-6, NC State researchers from several different departments discussed with invited guests how living systems sense, respond and communicate — and, in turn, how we can translate biological principles into practical concepts for next-generation telecommunications and data management systems.

Continual learning, solved (almost)! 🧠 ECE Associate Professor Tianfu Wu and PhD student Chinmay Savadikar developed CHEEM, a new framework that helps AI models learn new tasks without forgetting old ones — and use computing power more efficiently along the way. Their work will be presented at CVPR 2026, one of the top conferences in computer vision. Proud to see our researchers pushing the boundaries of adaptive AI!

NC State ECE students Neil Sood and Madeline Wall won the College of Engineering`s Day of Giving 2026 "Dean`s Hide-and-Seek Challenge," tracking down a life-size cutout of former dean (and now NC State Provost) Jim Pfaendtner on the fifth floor of Hunt Library.

The duo pieced together clues shared on the College`s Instagram stories and were first to find the hidden cutout, earning $5,000 in research support. Sood and Wall directed the prize toward ECE Professor Eric Rotenberg`s work on computer architecture and high-performance processors, a nod to his Microprocessor Architecture course, which both students took and loved.

It`s a fun reminder of how Day of Giving connects student initiative directly to research impact. 🕵️

NC State`s new hybrid M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors is preparing engineers for one of the fastest-growing corners of the chip industry, with its first cohort starting this fall.

The program covers silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials that handle higher power and heat than traditional silicon, skills now in demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and aerospace. Faculty and industry partners from companies like MACOM and Wolfspeed helped shape the curriculum around the roles employers are actually hiring for, from device design to power electronics.

It`s a clear example of NC State ECE building graduate programs directly around where the semiconductor industry is headed. ⚡
