The proposal titled “Collaborative Research: Electronically-Scanned Wideband Digital Aperture Antenna Arrays using Multi-Dimensional Space-Time Circuit-Network Resonance: Theory and Hardware” addressing multi-dimensional sparse-array digital filters for beamforming applications has been awarded by NSF. The work is a collaboration with Dr Xin Wang at SUNY Stony Brook.
MS student Sewwandi Wijeratna successfully defended her MS thesis. Congratulations! Her thesis is titled FPGA Architectures for Fast-Steerable Beam-Enhanced Digital Aperture Arrays, funded by Office of Naval Research.
Our paper with MS students Uma Potluri, Sunera Kulasekara and Amila Edirisuriya, and collaborators Fabio Bayer and Renato Cintra, is ranked #6 in the “Top Accessed” list for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I:Regular Papers.

The paper titled “An orthogonal 16-point approximate DCT for image and video compression” has been accepted at MSSP. The authors include Thiago Silveira, Alice Kozakevicius, Renato Cintra, Fabio Bayer and Sunera Kulasekara. Congratulations!
Arjuna Madanayake co-organized a circuits workshop at Norfolk State University (NSU) for regional high-school students as part of the NSF EARS broader impacts program. The UA student assistant team, lead by MS student Arindam Sengupta, consisted of Sewwandi, Nilan, DeGrafth, Nathan and Julia (high-school intern).
The slides of the workshop is located here.
