Dan N. Nguyen an ECE student and his teammates featuring UT Dallas Computer Science students Le Duy Pham, Bryant Hargreaves and Sunay Shehaan took home 1st place at the 2024 HackTX at The University of Texas at Austin. They won 1st?in Intel AI track, 1st?in Intersystems' Vector Database (LLM) track, and 1st?in best ground-up model. The total win is a laptop for each of us, $10, 000 in cloud credit and $2400 in cash for each of them to split. Their project allows security analyst to use natural language to query specific footage from a security camera to find any person based on their clothing.

Today, we highlight Chad Melhem, an Electrical Engineering student slotted to graduate in 2025. He has previously interned as an equipment engineer for Tesla in Austin and at a controls/automation company in Houston. He claims these internships have been his favorite part of his student career so far. In the future, his goals are to get a Professional Engineer License, have his name on a patent, and have a Master's Degree in machine learning. He enjoys working with sustainable engineering and plans to do so after graduation. We at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering wish you luck! #ee #Tesla #sustainableengineering

Today ECE would like to highlight Mohammad Hassan Ghaderi, an PhD ECE student, on his accomplishment in the technical session TS101: Power Electronics Converters at IECON 2024. This year marked the 50th annual conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES). IECON 2024 focuses on industry topics ranging from energy, power electronics, manufacturing, communications, and more.? Mohammad presented his research paper and was selected as the best presentation by the session's chairs. Congrats Mohammad!??

This summer, The University of Texas at Dallas researchers held a three-day Satellite Workshop to teach students about satellite interference and the risks of data breaches.? Nibedita Swain, a telecommunications engineering doctoral student, is pictured to the left helping build a small satellite at the UTD Satellite Workshop. Over the past few years, the number of satellites orbiting Earth has increased by 361%. Satellites help us in our daily lives (accessing the internet and monitoring the weather); however, the increasing number of satellites means more potential for cyberattacks. The overlap of space and cybersecurity, specifically with satellite technology, is a high-demand field for students like Nibedita. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gw8Vurs2
