CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN This week I want to report on the student poster session held at Motorola on Friday, June 6, 2003. The poster session followed a morning meeting of ECE's Motorola Center for Communications with Motorola personnel in which they reviewed the research projects funded by Motorola. Twelve undergraduate students and ten graduate students participated in the poster session. The students, project titles, and faculty advisors are as follows: Motorola Sponsored Undergraduate Researchers Jung Ryu, "The Effect of Channel Variations on Utility-Based Schedulers," Professors Michael Honig and Randy Berry, advisors. Mark Dredze, "Design and Implementation of Automatic Instrumentation and Data Entry Systems," Professors Valerie Taylor and Prith Banerjee, advisors. Yoni Torchman, "Power Scaling Trends in VLSI," Professor Yehea Ismail, advisor. Gregory Lou, "Design and Formal Verification of Asynchronous Interface Circuits," Professor Hai Zhou, advisor. Adam Russell and Ryan Stoner, "Embedded Design and Implementation of a Wirelessly Updateable Message Delivery CD Player," Professor Allen Taflove, advisor. Carey Tischler, "Turning the Bare Hand into a Real-Time Input Device," Professor Ying Wu, advisor. Owen Piette, "Evaluating Human Interface Design Through Digital Image Analysis," Professor Ying Wu, advisor. John E. David, "Development of Room Temperature Continuous Wave Quantum Cascade Lasers," Professor Manijeh Razeghi, advisor. Alexander Hu, "Efficient Control of Solar Car Power Management," Professor Chi-haur Wu, advisor.
