Pit Fee Jao will defend his dissertation proposal, entitled "Nanofibrous three dimensional microstrucutres for energy storage and bioengineering applications" at 2:00pm on Thursday, May 9th in LAR 234. Refreshments will be provided.

Congratulations to Cheolbok Kim on receiving the 2013 IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Award! The IEEE AP-S awards up to ten PhD fellowships each year to encourage students to pursue a career in the area of Antenna and Electromagnetics. The awards are intended to support students involved in project work directed by a faculty member at their institution who is a member of the IEEE AP-S. The title of his research is: "Low Loss and High Gain Terahertz Antenna Systems Using Micromachined Air-lifted 3D Structures and Metamaterials" The award selection is based on creativity and quality of the proposed project, discussion of the technical interests and skills of the student as well as the recommendation letter.

Yuan Rao will defend her dissertation, entitled "Input-powered Interface Circuits for Electrodynamic Vibrational Energy Harvesting Systems" at 9:30AM, on Wednesday, April 24th, in NRF 115. All are invited to attend. Breakfast snacks will be provided.
