ABSTRACT | As traditional electronic systems are beginning to hit a wall in terms of interconnect speed and performance, it is believed that optics presents a blue sky with immense potential for technology innovations and widespread adoption in the areas of communication, security, energy, sensing, computing, etc in the not-too-distant future. Optical fiber systems have found a plethora of promising and potential applications in significant fields due to their low loss and wide bandwidth. Following these, we are developing fiber optic sensors that may survive in harsh environments such as high radiation field and high temperature and provide useful information regarding temperature, pressure, and strain.

SPEAKER BIO | Sohel Rana is a graduate student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University. He received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Bangladesh in 2014. His research topic was on low loss terahertz (THz) wave guidance. He then attended at Bangladesh University and served as a lecturer in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department in 2015. 

At Boise State, Rana is working on fiber optic sensors under the supervision of Dr. Harish Subbaraman and Dr. Nirmala Kandadai. He is the recipient of the prestigious Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Graduate Fellowship and is currently conducting research at INL. His research interest includes fiber optic sensors, terahertz waveguiding, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, etc. He is an active member of IEEE, OSA (Optical Society of America), and ANS (American Nuclear Society).

Electrical Engineering Research Team Develops New Transistor

By
The American Chemical Society (ACS) launched its new journal Applied Electronic Materials this year. One of Boise State’s own research teams landed a spot in the very first issue thanks to their novel work on a new type of transistor. “The new transistor opens up an exciting avenue of research,” says Dr. Kris Campbell, an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The featured work describes an optically-gated transistor developed in the Non-Volatile Memory research lab at Boise State University. Campbell’s research team includes undergraduate electrical engineering students Randall Bassine and Jeremy Astle and electrical and computer engineering doctoral student Faisal Kabir. Their unique work has led to a patent for Boise State University and has already been licensed by a company hoping to use the technology in their products. In this work, Dr. Campbell and her team demonstrate that a device comprised of alternating layers of sputtered amorphous c...

ECE Seminar October 7: Printed Electronics for Air Force Applications

By
 The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boise State University invites you to attend a free public seminar hosted on Zoom. This week's seminar features  Dr. Emily Heckman, a Senior Research Engineer at Air Force Research Laboratory. October 7 @ 10:30 am  https://boisestate.zoom.us/j/92994002201 ABSTRACT |    This talk will provide an overview of the field of printed electronics and ongoing research efforts in this area at the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. Printed electronics is a subset of additive manufacturing that uses technologies such as inkjet and aerosol jet printing and various other direct-write tools to additively print electronic devices on flexible, conformal and traditional substrate platforms. The AFRL Sensors Directorate is currently exploring this technology for application areas such as RF circuits and antennas, optoelectronic devices, sensors, and rapid prototyping. Challenges such as post-processing, repeat...
