WNCG's annual Open House connects board members and Industrial Affiliates with world-class students for recruitment and research. Through close access to WNCG student research and resumes, Open House gives our industry partners a unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with with bright young minds. This year's open house featured roughly 40 student poster presentations and a WNCG faculty panel on edge computing and wireless infrastructure. Faculty panelists included WNCG Profs. Todd Humphreys, Robert Heath, Gustavo de Veciana, Edison Thomaz and Andrea Thomaz. 

Prof. Andrea Alù has been elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society for “seminal contributions to electromagnetic theory and applications, nano optics, plasmonics, and metamaterials.” Election to Fellowship in the American Physical Society is limited to no more than one half of one percent of the membership and is recognition by peers of the person’s outstanding contributions to physics.

WNCG Industrial Affiliates, faculty and students come together for an annual event focused on WNCG's greatest resource; a collection of some of the world's brightest students.

Prof. Andrea Alù was recognized as an Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society (APS). This award recognizes scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in APS journals. The highly selective Outstanding Referee program annually recognizes the top 150 of the roughly 60,000 currently active referees.
