ECE’s Inaugural Research Symposium
October 27, 2021
Friday, October 15, the ECE Graduate Committee hosted it’s Inaugural ECE Research Symposium. The ECE Graduate Committee would like to announce that the Best Presentation award goes to Mr. Amine Taoudi for his presentation entitled “Design and optimization of a hybrid electric vehicle with energy efficient longitudinal control and bio-inspired trajectory planning and tracking.” He is advised by Drs. Chaomin Luo and Randy Follett. Congratulations!
Check out the amazing work our graduate and undergraduate researchers are doing to positively affect our world through technology.
