The fall semester has begun, and though many of our students have been keeping busy over the summer with continued research here at the University of Texas at Austin, some WNCGers like Monica Ribero are returning from summer internships with WNCG Affiliates and other prominent tech companies. Ribero spent the summer in Holmdel, New Jersey, working at Bell Laboratories. During her internship she conducted research with Dr. Dmitry Chizhik and Dr. Reinaldo Valenzuela at Bell Labs’ Access Lab for a project called "Machine Learning for Site-Specific Propagation Models.”

Prof. Andrea Thomaz, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, appeared at stARTup Studio to present Diligent Droids, a company that seeks to provide aid to healthcare providers through robotic technologies. Thomaz said she hopes to apply her research in the field of artificial intelligence to help healthcare providers with their service. Prof. Thomaz joined Texas ECE in January 2016.  Read more about Prof. Thomaz and Diligent Droids at Silicon Hills News
