Professors to Develop Magnetic Field Sensor Technology
(July 30, 2008) Stanko Brankovic, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to fund a transformative concept using electrochemical nanofabrication that would allow the development of devices smaller than 10 nanometers. Brankovic and his team seek to develop novel magnetic field sensor technology key in the creation of a low-cost system to map magnetic objects quickly and accurately.

Professors Develop Technologies to Aid Study of Nervous System
(July 2, 2008) UH Cullen College of Engineering professors have created an implantable single electrode cuff and a wireless telemetry system to better understand how certain neurons in locusts’ brains process sensory information. Electrical and Computer Engineering Professors Jack Wolfe and Richard Liu are working with Fabrizio Gabbiani, professor in the department of neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, on a $400,000 National Science Foundation grant to develop the technology in an effort to study the neurology of animals and insects.
