Fan named IEEE Fellow

Posted by on January 12, 2016

Dr. Jun Fan, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, has been named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Fan, who also is director of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory and National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility at Missouri S&T, is being recognized for contributions to power delivery networks in printed circuit designs.

In electronics design, all integrated circuits need power to function, Fan says. A power delivery network is to supply power and provide “ground” for current flow.

Researchers use 3-D printer to make new materials

Posted by on September 24, 2015

Missouri University of Science and Technology researchers are working to develop cyber additive manufacturing technology to create new metal materials that are stronger and lighter than conventional ones, which could make manufacturing more efficient and cheaper. The cyber manufacturing technology includes additive manufacturing process modeling, sensor network and seamless process integration.

Dr. Frank Liou, the Michael and Joyce Bytnar Professor of Product Innovation and Creativity at Missouri S&T, and Dr. Jagannanthan Sarangapani, William A. Rutledge-Emerson Electrical Co. Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Missouri S&T, are developing cyber manufacturing technology for 3-D printers to create materials not currently in existence.

Researcher uses microwave to ‘bake’ experiments

Posted by on September 14, 2015

An electrical engineer at Missouri University of Science and Technology is using microwave energy to test concrete and rehabilitated aluminum, and in the future her work could lead to safer bridges and aircraft parts.

Dr. Kristen Donnell, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Missouri S&T, studies those materials using an active microwave thermograph (AMT) that highlights flaws that could compromise safety or effectiveness. It works by using microwave energy to heat a defined section of material, which is looked at using infrared thermography imaging. It’s a method of nondestructive testing (NDT) that is fairly undeveloped, Donnell said, but it’s being pioneered at Missouri S&T.
