Accomplishments are listed by date of achievement in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first.
Batu Chalise
College of Engineering and Computing SciencesBatu K. Chalise, Ph.D., assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Moeness Amin, Ph.D. of Villanova University have been awarded $240,000 from the Army Research Laboratory as part of a research subcontract from Alion Science and Technology on April 14, 2021. Chalise and Amin will share the funding, which could potentially increase up to $780,000 over the period of next four years, to conduct research on “Distributed Sensing, Estimation, and System Configurability in Cognitive Radar Network.”

\nYusui Chen
College of Arts & Sciences College of Arts & Sciences PhysicsYusui Chen, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published an article entitled “” in Scientific Reports on March 10, 2021. This research work, co-authored by Peng Zhao, a 黑料导航 CoECS master's student and research assistant in the lab of Aydin Farajidavar, Ph.D., discovers a quantitative relation between the central frequency of the environment and the behavior of quantum entanglement in the steady-state of the piezoelectric optomechanical devices in the presence of a non-Markovian environment, which can be applied in the fields of electric/ optical switches and implantable devices, and long-distance distribution in a large-scale quantum network.
