Triangle STEM Fraternity

Greetings electrical engineers,

My name is Jared Osterli, and I am a senior in your EE department.  I am currently leading an effort to start a Triangle Fraternity chapter, the brother organization to the Phi Sigma Rho Sorority, at UW.  The organization will focus on professional development and networking for men in the UW College of Engineering, College of Natural Sciences, and College of Built Environments.  I would very much like to extend an invitation to the men in my own department. 

Please feel free to send me an email at triangle.washington@gmail.com to discuss your interest in becoming a Founding Father of the Triangle Fraternity at UW.  Let me know if you have any questions.

In the meantime, please like our Facebook page, or take a look at our website.

GEOG 526: Geospatial Data Analysis

Spring Quarter 2015

Monday 2:30 to 5:30

​sln 14665​

Professor Suzanne Davies Withers

Department of Geography

swithers@u.washington.edu

Smith 012

Course Overview

This course provides a conceptual and practical introduction to spatial data analysis and geographic information systems in geographic research. The goal is to provide a practical understanding of the application of spatial data analysis to geographic problem solving. Emphasis is placed on the appropriate selection of methods to analyze geographic data, procedures for research design, and interpretation of research findings. Students will gain practical experience through assignments that require the application of spatial data analysis to specific geographic research questions using statistical and GIS software. Topics include fundamental spatial data analysis such as buffers, overlay and distance operations, descriptive and inferential spatial statistics, spatial pattern analysis and spatial autocorrelation, global and local spatial measures, regression analysis and geographically weighted regression, kriging and interpolation, and agent-based models. No prior GIS experience required.

​ Open to seniors with permission of instructor.​

Two faculty positions available at UNH ECE

I am writing to inform you that the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Hampshire has two open faculty positions. I would appreciate your help in disseminating this information among your students and colleagues. 

The first position is in the area of embedded computing. The successful candidate will work in one or more areas related to the design and deployment of embedded computing devices, embedded sensors and sensor networks, and embedded actuators. The faculty position will complement the research interests of UNH ECE faculty in one or more areas, including wireless networking, VLSI, signal processing, and human-computer interaction. 

The second position is in the area of microelectronics or optoelectronics. The successful candidate will collaborate with members of an interdisciplinary faculty cluster that is being developed in the Flexible Electronics Research Center within the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. The planned cluster is also seeded with tenure-track positions in high resolution imaging and characterization of molecular devices (Department of Chemistry), and device physics and electronic materials (two positions in the Department of Physics). 

In addition to the research activities, the successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the teaching of electrical and computer engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Both positions are accepting applicants at all ranks.

Undergraduate Research Symposium; application deadline Feb. 23rd

To present their work at this event, students must submit an application by Monday, February 23rd, 2015. For further details, including a list of information sessions about the Symposium and abstract writing workshops to assist students with their applications, visit: http://www.uw.edu/undergradresearch/symposium/.

The Symposium is a celebration of undergraduate accomplishments in research, scholarship, and creative expression in all academic disciplines.  Students may present their research either in a poster session or an oral presentation session.  We will also have a dedicated performance space in nearby Meany Hall for performing arts presentations and a visual arts and design showcase in Odegaard Undergraduate Library. Last year, 1,100 students participated in this exciting event.

Undergrad research opening in Integrated Quantum Optoelectronics Lab

The Integrated Quantum Optoelectronics (IQO) Lab is looking for bright and highly motivated undergraduate research assistants to aid in our research in nanophotonics. Undergraduate researchers will be responsible for helping our graduate students to fabricate and simulate nanodevices for bleeding edge technology such as computational metasurfaces and ultralow power optical devices. Undergraduates who work with the IQO Lab will gain valuable experience working in a lab setting, particularly with working with 2D materials and using industry standard software such as Lumerical FDTD, and Lightfield. Undergraduates who demonstrate ample ability and dedication will have the opportunity to earn credit for working in the lab. There is also the potential for undergraduate research assistants to become paid members of the research team. If you are interested in applying to work in our lab please contact Arka at arka@uw.edu with your CV and transcript. You can learn more about our research group at: http://www.ee.washington.edu/research/amlab/.
