Congratulations to graduates Laszlo Cline and Virgil Watkins (29-Apr-2023)
Laszlo and Virgil both received their BSE in Materials Science and Engineering. Virgil will be starting his PhD at MIT as a NSF Graduate Research Fellow, while Laszlo will be working at Argonne National Laboratory. Congratulations to both.
Virgil wins NSF Graduate Research Fellowship; his Unparalleled Performance highlighted by MSE Department
Big week for Virgil! On Monday, Mar 27, the MSE department has featured Virgil Watkins for his outstanding accomplishments in the classroom, gym, and the lab. https://mse.engin.umich.edu/about/news/virgil-watkins-unparalleled-performance. On Wednesday, Mar 29, Virgil won the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Congratulations to Virgil for both achievements.
Dina Ginkina at IEEE Spectrum did a feature article on ECRAM that highlighted our group's work, especially the recent paper led by Diana. The title is "Computing With Chemicals Makes Faster, Leaner AI Battery-inspired artificial synapses are gaining ground," which is strongly related to our research themes.
