When Wilson J. Rugh, now a professor emeritus in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, co-wrote a paper titled “Research on gain scheduling,” back in 2000, it generated plenty of buzz. For example, Rugh found himself delivering keynote addresses at international conferences in the Netherlands and Hong Kong. He was surprised, however, to find […]
Alexander Kaplan, who served as a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for almost three decades, died on Dec. 31 in Boca Raton, Florida at the age of 81. His former coworkers and students remember Kaplan as being a passionate scientist who was also a good teacher. “It didn’t matter which course […]
Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new lens-free, ultra-miniaturized endoscope—the width of only a few human hairs—that is capable of producing high-quality images. Their findings were published today in Science Advances. “Usually, you have to sacrifice either size or image quality. We’ve been able to achieve both with our microendoscope,” says Mark Foster, an associate professor of […]
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty member Harvey Palmer’s teaching career didn’t end when he retired from Johns Hopkins University in 1989. An optical engineer with a specialty in precision acoustic signal measurement and assessment using lasers, Palmer began to miss teaching almost as soon as he settled into a retirement community in Sykesville, […]
When Darlene Saporu became the assistant dean for diversity and inclusion at Johns Hopkins University in 2016, she quickly began to devise strategies to attract more graduate students from underrepresented minority groups to the university. “We needed a signature recruitment event that showcased Johns Hopkins as a viable graduate school destination for students from those backgrounds,” Saporu […]
