Carnegie Mellon Engineering Students Win NDSEG Fellowships
Posted by John Hunter | Under NDSEG Wednesday Aug 22, 2007Carnegie Mellon University Electrical and Computer Engineering Students win NDSEG Fellowships:
ECE students John Reinke and Nicholas O’Donoughue were selected for the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, which will cover their tuition and stipends over three years. Alumnus Daniel Weller (B.S. 2006) also qualified for the honor and will use his fellowship at MIT, where he is a graduate student in electrical engineering.
…
Spending two summers interning at Honeywell’s primary research center, John Reinke was exposed to several microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) projects, including a chip-scale atomic clock, a MEMS gyroscope, and a liquid gallium switch. His experience led him to pursue graduate study in the MEMS Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon designing radio frequency (RF) micromechanical switches and tunable capacitors made in foundry complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes.

Nicholas O’Donoughue conducts research in signal processing applications and algorithms in the Time Reversal Imaging Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon. His studies focus on creating novel algorithms to improve the resolution and applicability of radar imaging through time reversal techniques. This new methodology has applications of interest to national defense, because it may be used to detect objects that are buried under heavy clutter, such as under forest canopies.
