ECE graduate student Yen-Tzu Lin has received a fellowship from NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a high-performance processor that generates interactive graphics on workstations, personal computers, game consoles, and mobile devices.

Lin, whose thesis advisor is Shawn Blanton, is a member of the Advanced Chip Test Laboratory. Her research interests include VLSI test methodology development and evaluation. Her current research involves the development of cost-effective test methodologies that create high-quality test sets through utilization of the NVIDIA GPU environment.

Yung-hui Li, received the Best Student Paper Award in International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal processing 2009 (ICASSP) held in Taiwan this spring. Li's advisor is Marios Savvides, assistant research professor of ECE. Li is a graduate student in the Language Technologies Institute.

Their paper, titled "A Pixel-Wise, Learning-Based Approach For Occlusion Estimation of Iris Images in a Polar Domain," proposes a novel way to solve the problem of iris mask estimation which has proven to be both efficient and accurate compared to existing methods in the literature.

Carnegie Mellon University and Taiwanese officials have established research and educational outreach programs with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). Research at the government-sponsored ITRI Lab@CMU focuses on circuit design and applications in communication, information technology, computer and consumer electronics, and multimedia.
