ASPC doctoral graduate Nilanka Rajapaksha is moving to San Jose California to join Xilinx. Dr Rajapaksha will be working as a software engineer for the “Device Modeling Group” dealing with propagation delay models for Xilinx FPGA Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. Many congratulations to Nilanka. We wish him a bright future in California.
Congratulations to ASPC graduate student Viduneth Ariyarathna for being selected for the IEEE 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) +RFIC PhD student sponsorship iniative.
The paper “Low Noise Amplifier Design Considerations For Use in Antenna Arrays” with Leo Belostotski, Karl Warnick and Bruce Veidt, has been accepted for publication at IEEE Trans. on Antennas and Propagation.
The Senior Design Team (Adam, Mark, Tom, Zach) advised by Arjuna Madanayake is a finalist at the 2015 Intel-Cornell Cup Competition. The “Wirelessly powered elephant tracking device” project will compete at the finals coming up in Florida in late April. Many congratulations for their $1500 award from Intel!
Three papers have been accepted for publication at IEEE Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MerCon)’2015, to be held in April 2015, in Sri Lanka. The papers are:
“Aperture-Array Directional Sensing using 2-D Beam Digital Filters with Doppler-Radar Front-Ends ” with Tharindu Randeny, Arindam Sengupta, Yiran Li and Changzhi Li,
“An Overview of Multi-Dimensional RF Signal Processing for Array Receivers” with Chamith Wijenayake, Leonard Bruton and Leo Belostotski, and
“Multi-Beam 8×8 RF Aperture Digital Beamformers Using Multiplierless 2-D FFT Approximations” with Sunera Kulasekara, Chamith Wijenayake, Renato Cintra, Fabio Bayer, and Dora Suarez.
Many congratulations to all!
