Welcome to the Future

NC State ECE

Come Visit!

Join us for a tour, check out our facilities, and meet some of our amazing students.

NC State's Integrated Circuits and Systems Lab (ICaSL), led by Professor Suresh Venkatesh, is teaming up with Axiro Semiconductor to advance next-generation phased-array and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology.

The collaboration combines ICaSL's research strength in advanced circuit design with Axiro's semiconductor manufacturing expertise, aiming to push phased-array systems that can sense their surroundings and communicate at the same time — a capability increasingly important for wireless networks, radar, and autonomous systems.

Partnerships like this one show how NC State ECE research translates into real-world hardware, giving students hands-on exposure to industry-driving technology along the way. 📡

Three NC State students are using engineering and computer science to help tackle real challenges in agriculture through the N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative's Makerspace.

Computer science student Vy Hoang, computer science major Connery Tran and mechanical engineering student John Glenn II have spent their time at the Makerspace designing tools like a tractor-mounted imaging system and a soil sensor, picking up hands-on skills in soldering, 3D modeling and circuit board design along the way.

Their work shows how engineering and computer science can shape the future of farming, giving these students hands-on experience they'll carry into their careers. 🌱

Continual learning, solved (almost)! 🧠 ECE Associate Professor Tianfu Wu and PhD student Chinmay Savadikar developed CHEEM, a new framework that helps AI models learn new tasks without forgetting old ones — and use computing power more efficiently along the way. Their work will be presented at CVPR 2026, one of the top conferences in computer vision. Proud to see our researchers pushing the boundaries of adaptive AI!
