2008-04-28: Undergraduate researchers, Eric Severson and Dominic
Hogan win Sigma Xi, First and Third Prize for excellence in scientific
effort and their ability to communicate their work to a wide audience. Eric
Severson's research focuses on significant reduction on size and weight of
laptop battery chargers and Dominic's research focuses on developing high
efficiency voltage converters to extend the power of batteryless systems.
2008-03-14: Analog Design Group Members
Martin Sturm, Jackson
Harvey, Dominic Hogan Win 2nd prize (phase 1) in SRC Design Challenge 2nd
place winner in the phase 1 of the 2007-2008 SRC/SIA IC Design
Challenge.
Their research integrates batteryless operation with lowpower blood/food
monitoring RFID design, “Ultra-Low Power UWB Food Safety-Monitoring System”.
The group is one of 47 design teams from 28 universities that entered
this contest sponsored by the Semiconductor Industry Association and the
Semiconductor Research Corporation.
2007-winter:
Kin-Joe Sham (Analog Design Group member) works with Mechanical
Engineering Professor Will Durfee on developing new ideas for business
startup.
