Yung-hui Li, received the Best Student Paper Award in International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal processing 2009 (ICASSP) held in Taiwan this spring. Li's advisor is Marios Savvides, assistant research professor of ECE. Li is a graduate student in the Language Technologies Institute.

Their paper, titled "A Pixel-Wise, Learning-Based Approach For Occlusion Estimation of Iris Images in a Polar Domain," proposes a novel way to solve the problem of iris mask estimation which has proven to be both efficient and accurate compared to existing methods in the literature.

Even if you were up in the nosebleed section of Mellon Arena during the Stanley Cup playoffs, you could still get a closeup view of the game. Thanks to Professor Priya Narasimhan's research group and Yinz Cam, all you need is a Wi-Fi enabled device.

ECE graduate student Yen-Tzu Lin has received a fellowship from NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a high-performance processor that generates interactive graphics on workstations, personal computers, game consoles, and mobile devices.

Lin, whose thesis advisor is Shawn Blanton, is a member of the Advanced Chip Test Laboratory. Her research interests include VLSI test methodology development and evaluation. Her current research involves the development of cost-effective test methodologies that create high-quality test sets through utilization of the NVIDIA GPU environment.

The DARPA Center for Memory Intensive Self-Configuring Integrated Circuits (MISCIC) at Carnegie Mellon University addresses the most pressing challenges facing integrated systems — their cost, reliability, power consumption, and adaptability. Our experts will explore and refine integrated circuit reconfigurability (without sacrificing performance), low power operation, fault and damage tolerance, scalability, and manufacturing cost reduction at low volumes.
