Funding for the Georgia Tech and Emory University training program in computational neural engineering was recently renewed and increased by the National Institutes of Health, expanding opportunities for students and scholars.

The ECE professor received the two awards over the summer for her research on energy systems.

By encouraging joint appointments, the Institute breaks down traditional academic silos and enables researchers to revolutionize the energy landscape.

The ECE Ph.D. candidate will use the support from the fellowship to continue his research on vanadium dioxide reconfigurable metasurfaces.

Hernandez-Mejia, who has worked at ECE’s National Electric Energy Testing, Research, & Applications Center (NEETRAC) since 2017, brings extensive experience to the member-driven electric utility research center.

The ECE professor, who specializes in semiconductor memory devices and circuits, was selected for his exceptional record of scholarship and service to the Institute.
