Dr. Alex Phipps, selected as one of the Top Scientists and Engineers of the Year by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research Development and Acquisition

Dr. Alex Phipps, 2010 ECE PhD and IMG alumnus was selected as one of the Top Scientists and Engineers of the Year by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research Development and Acquisition.  Congratulations Alex!

•Dr. Alex Phipps: Selected in the Emergent Engineer Investigator category for his accomplishments in advancing wireless underwater power transfer technologies. “What we’re doing is looking to find a way for unmanned underwater vehicles to persist underwater for much greater periods of time and still be able to perform their mission without having to surface,” Phipps said.

Aneesh Koka's Research Work with Dr. Henry Sodano Published in Nature Communications

Research article by Aneesh Koka and Dr. Henry A. Sodano entitled “High-sensitivity accelerometer composed of ultra-long vertically aligned barium titanate nanowire arrays” has been published recently in Nature Communications. A brief summary of the article is presented as follows

"Aligned piezoelectric nanowires show great promise for sensing applications, however it is yet to be demonstrated that they can be used as an accurate dynamic sensor. Here, Koka and Sodano demonstrate the first synthesis of vertically aligned arrays of ultra-long (~45 µm) barium titanate nanowires and their application as a nano electromechanical system accelerometer that offers high sensitivity"
