WNCG Profs. Gustavo de Veciana and Jeff Andrews recently received an award for Best Collaboration with the wireless group at Huawei. This international award goes to a funded university collaboration the company deems most impactful from among their offices and partner institutions worldwide.   “We are very pleased to accept this award,” Prof. de Veciana states. “The experience of working with engineers at Huawei has been very rewarding and fun.”   The collaborative research project concerned the study of new scheduling policies for next generation wireless systems.

Prof. Andrea Alù’s and PhD candidate Francesco Monticone’s research paper titled ‘Invisibility Exposed: Physical Bounds on Passive Cloaking’ will be published in the Optical Society’s flagship journal Optica in the upcoming issue. Together, Prof. Alù and Monticone have established quantitative physical limitations on the performance of cloaking devices, a technology that allows objects to become invisible or undetectable for electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light.
