Dr. Bahareh Abdi (EEE) Awarded Funding for Innovative AI Education Project
- Friday, 28 February 2025
Dr. Bahareh Abdi (EEE) has been awarded €25K in funding through TU Delft’s Call for Proposals on AI-Augmented Engineering Education for her project “Practical AI in Engineering: A Case-Study-Driven Open Repository and Course.” This project, developed with co-applicants Dr. Gosia Migut, Dr. Tom Viering (EEMCS), Dr. Martin Sand (TPM), and Dario Turelli (Mondai, House of AI, TU Delft), aims to bridge the gap between AI skills and their real-world applications in engineering.
The project will create an open-access repository of interactive AI case studies and an accompanying course. The course will help students define AI problems with industry partners, analyze datasets for biases, interpret AI outputs, and address ethical considerations. It will also provide essential tools for model evaluation and communication.
This initiative will provide adaptable, open-source materials for both technical and non-technical audiences, promoting high-quality AI education and collaboration between academia and industry.
Masoud Babaie Receives the 2025 IEEE SSCS New Frontier Award
- Thursday, 20 February 2025
At the 2025 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), Masoud Babaie was honored with the prestigious IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) New Frontier Award.
This award recognizes early-career SSCS members who demonstrate exceptional innovation and vision within the field of solid-state circuits. It acknowledges pioneering work that pushes the boundaries of integrated circuit (IC) design, with the imminent potential to expand the field through new categories of circuit technologies, system design, and/or emerging applications.
Dr. Babaie’s award highlights the groundbreaking contributions of his research group in advancing mixed-signal, RF, and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and systems, with particular focus on wireless communication and cryogenic electronic interfaces for quantum computing. His research is centered around developing critical components such as voltage-controlled oscillators, power amplifiers, frequency synthesizers, and transceivers—key technologies essential for the next generation of wireless communication and quantum computing. This recognition underscores his leadership in shaping the future of these transformative fields.
