R. Dandekar presented a paper entitled, "Software defined
radio demonstration of MIMO-OFDM rate adaptation", at the First
IEEE Workshop on Networking Technologies for Software Defined
Radio,Third Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on Sensor,
Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks.
Ph.D. students, Nicholas
J. Kirsch, Chao Liang, and Dr.
Kapil R. Dandekar had their paper, "Experimental characterization
of resource allocation algorithms in MIMO-OFDM ad hoc networks"
accepted for publication in the 2007 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium.
David

Moshe Kam, and Dr.
Kapil R. Dandekar had their paper, "A computational fluid
dynamics approach for optimization of a sensor network," accepted
for publication in the 2006 IEEE International Workshop for Homeland
Security, Contraband Detection, and Personal Safety.
Nicholas
J. Kirsch was selected to be a 2006 Koerner Family Fellow in the
College of Engineering. He is advised by Dr.
Kapil R. Dandekar.
Dr.
John Walsh's paper, written with co-authors Phillip A. Regalia
(Catholic University of America) and C. Richard Johnson, Jr. (Cornell
University), entitled "Turbo Decoding as Iterative Constrained
Maximum Likelihood Sequence Detection," was accepted for publication
in the December 2006 issue of the prestigious IEEE Transactions
on Information Theory. In October, Dr. Walsh will present an invited
paper "Convergence and Performance Issues of Autocorrelation Based
Adaptive Channel Shortening" written with co-authors Richard K.

Jr. (Cornell University) in a session on adaptive filtering at
the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, Monterey,
CA.
Dr.
Jaudelice de Oliveira attended the ACM SIGCOMM of 2006, in
Pisa, Italy from September 11-14, 2006. She was the Student Travel
Grant Co-Chair for SIGCOMM 2006. SIGCOMM 2007 will be in Kyoto,
Japan. Dr. de Oliveira was nominated ACM SIGCOMM Vice Conference
Coordinator, working closely with Joe Touch (ISI, USC).
Dr. Jaudelice de Oliveira's Ph.D. student, Sukrit Dasgupta, gave a talk at the University of Girona, in Girona, Spain, entitled "Trend Based Bandwidth Provisioning : An Online Approach for Traffic Engineered Tunnels," on September 14, 2006 and he also gave a lecture for undergraduates attending a course on Introduction to Computer Networks at the University of Girona on September 19, 2006.
Drs.
Timothy
P. Kurzweg (PI), Adam
K. Fontecchio (co-PI), and Bahram
Nabet (co-PI) have been awarded a grant from the National
Science Foundation to support the project "On-Chip Spectrometer
for Pre-Cancerous Detection Applications." This proposal focuses
on the development of an on-chip optical spectrometer for the
detection of pre-cancerous epithelial cells using novel technologies
that surpass current endoscopic systems. The budget for this three-year
project is $240K.
S.
Bhat, T.P.
Kurzweg, A.
Guez, published the paper, "Learning Identification Control
for Model Based Opto-Electronic Packaging," IEEE Journal of Selected
Topics in Quantum Electronics, Vol. 12, No. 5, Sept/Oct 2006.
Shubham Bhat is a Ph.D. student of Dr. Timothy P. Kurzweg.
Dr.
Adam Fontecchio was selected to have his paper entitled, "Imaging
of Liquid Crystals Confined in Carbon Nanopipes," reprinted in
the August 16, 2006 issue of the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale
Science and Technology. This paper originally appeared in Applied
Physics Letters with Hemang Shah, a graduate student of Dr.
Fontecchio's, acting as senior author.
Dr.
Adam Fontecchio along with two of his graduate students, Hemang
Shah and Anna Fox, attended the 21st International Liquid Crystal
Conference in Keystone, Colorado. While there, they presented
four posters and a talk titled, "Physical Interactions of Liquid
Crystals with Carbon Nanopipes" prepared by Hemang Shah, Adam
K. Fontecchio, Maria Pia Rossi, Davide Mattia, and Yury Gogotsi.
Dr.
Adam Fontecchio co-chaired the 26th International Display
Research Conference at Kent State University in Ohio September
18th through the 21st. He and his Ph.D. student, Hemang Shah,
presented a Poster and Talk on "Low-Voltage Color Switching in
Liquid Crystal Displays."
In the
second week in October, Dr.
Youngmoo Kim presented a paper at The International Symposium
on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) in Victoria, Canada. The
paper is entitled "Towards Quantifying the 'Album Effect' in Artist
Identification" and it is co-authored by Dr. Kim and two of his graduate
students, Donald S. Williamson and Sridhar Pilli.
