Salutations from Houston!
Please join me in congratulating Professor Ji Chen on becoming our newest IEEE Fellow, Professor Zhu Han on becoming our first ACM Fellow, and Professor Harish Krishnamoorthy on becoming our newest NSF CAREER Awardee. The past year has been impactful, as our research expenditures exceeded $10M, our citations approached 25,000, enrollments continued to grow across all three of our campuses (Houston main campus, Katy campus, and Dalian (China) campus), and we graduated 24 Ph.D. students, 180 M.S. students, and 121 undergraduate students. The job market has been kind to our students, and we are delighted with their success. Means a lot to us.
Our faculty continued to excel in research and teaching innovation across the board in diverse areas including advanced battery technology, brain-machine interfaces, subsea robotics, AI systems for biomedicine, implanted device engineering, and cancer detection, to name a few.
I hope that you enjoy reading through this sampling of our recent research, and if any of these projects spark interest, do not hesitate to reach out to me about collaborative opportunities. Let us continue working towards creating a better, more dynamic future!
Wishing you a happy, peaceful, and prosperous 2024,
