ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that we publish thisyear’s Annual Report for the Department ofElectrical Engineering at Arizona StateUniversity. This year has been a period ofconsolidation after several years of rapidgrowth in terms of new faculty. It is also a yearof great change at ASU with the end of oneera of leadership under President Lattie Coorand the inauguration of Dr. Michael Crow asASU’s 16th president. The change inleadership portends a change in the role ofthe Electrical Engineering Department fromnot only a leading research department oncampus, but to one engaged in the Arizonacommunity on many levels.

The department is very proud of theaccomplishments of new faculty that havejoined over the past few years, whoseexcellence is evidenced by the high number ofNational Science Foundation CAREER awardrecipients among the junior faculty. Therehave been seven CAREER awards granted tonew faculty in the department since 1997,which places ASU 19th of all universities inthe country in terms of numbers of CAREERawardees over the past four years, withelectrical engineering leading this prodigiouseffort. The research productivity of thedepartment as a whole reached a record highin 2001/2002 with fiscal year expenditures inexcess of $9 million, due to the strongongoing contribution from the microelectronicsand power areas as well as the emergence ofnew growth areas in wirelesscommunications, embedded systems, andbiotechnology related research.

A particular success was the kick off of theConnection One Center focused on wirelesscircuits and systems, funded through asuccessful NSF Industry/University ResearchCenter proposal in 2002, which was madepossible by the strong support of industrial

partners, such as Motorola, Philips, TexasInstruments, and Intel. New industrypartnerships have also been establishedthrough the creation of the Center forEmbedded Inter-Networking Technologies(CEINT) at ASU involving the ComputerScience and Engineering and ElectricalEngineering departments.

Research in biology, bioengineering, andbiomedical-related areas by electricalengineering faculty and affiliates has growndramatically over the past few years throughcollaboration and involvement with the recentlyestablished Department of Bioengineering atASU. Biological science and engineering is astrong focus of the new ASU administration,through the establishment of the state-supported Arizona Bio-Design Institute. Due tothe rapid emergence of activity in thebiotechnology areas, this year’s feature storyhighlights efforts by electrical engineeringfaculty in this arena.

The department continues to hold steady inthe number of undergraduate electricalengineers enrolled in the program, and overthe past year, we have broadened the scopeof senior-year specializations to includecomputer engineering and bioengineeringrelated tracks. We have continued to recruitseveral national merit scholar students peryear into the undergraduate program as partof ASU’s record growth in national meritscholars led by the Barrett Honor College.Graduate enrollment reached a record highwith approximately 700 students enrolled, andrecord numbers of graduates supported onresearch and teaching assistantships this yeardue to the increased research funding.

We are looking optimistically toward the future,despite a number of challenges this year,which include budget concerns driven by the

Heydt Achieves Regents’ Professor Status Gerald Heydt, director of the Power Systems Engineering ResearchCenter, became one of five new ASU Regents’ professors and the thirdRegents’ professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Heydt joined ASU as the director of the National ScienceFoundation Center for the Advanced Control of Energyand Power Systems in 1994 after nearly 25 years on thefaculty at Purdue. Since then, he has garnered severalhigh-profile awards, including being named the IEEEPower Engineering Society Power Engineering Educatorof the Year in1995, being elected to the National Academyof Engineers in 1997, and being elected to the PeerReview Committee of the NAE in 1998.

In addition to his research, Heydt has gained nationalrecognition for his mentoring. One of his students placedthird in the 1997 IEEE Best Student Paper contest. Thenext year, another of his students placed second in theBest Student Paper contest, and in 1999, his teachingearned him a mentorship appreciation award from theASU Preparing Future Faculty Program. Most recently,Heydt and student co-author H. Ni placed second in theIEEE student poster/paper contest held at the 2001 WinterPower Meeting for their presentation “Wide Area SatelliteMeasurements for Robust Power System StabilizerArchitecture.”

Despite previous recognition, Heydt says achieving therank of Regents’ professor came as a surprise: “I did knowthat I was nominated, and I thought that I would neverattain that rank.” He then adds, “I feel that this honor is at apar with the National Academy [of Engineers] in my career.It is a real responsibility—and I hope that I can live up to it.”Heydt says that he has already found that Regents’Professor status affords new opportunities, which he hopeswill translate into larger research grants and programs.Heydt cites a number of things that have helped him to

reach this level in his career:“my interaction with IEEEhas been very motivational,”he says. “Another interactionthat has helped me a greatdeal has been my work atthe National ScienceFoundation in 1989-90, andsubsequent interaction withthat agency. Industrysupport, too, has been a bigpart of whatever success Imight have—companies likeSRP locally have really made a difference. Several ofthese companies have had the foresight of supportinghigher education very vigorously, and this has been thefoundation of my research.”

To students who may be interested in power engineering,Heydt says, “this field has a strong professionalcamaraderie” and there is “almost a fellowship amongpower engineers.”

“If a student devotes quality time to the professionalorganizations and to the profession, there will be apayback that may be slow to realize, but very important inone’s overall career.”

“I would also advise trying to keep sight of the practicaland the applied—not to say abandon theory, but do notpursue theory for theory’s sake. Applications are wherethe professional satisfaction occurs.”

FEATURE STORY

ASU is beginning a majornew initiative in thebiosciences through thecreation of the AZBioDesign Institute(www.azbio.org), which

will focus research on the intentional manipulation ofbiological systems. AZ BioDesign includes overlappinginstitutes in related fields such as the biosciences,biotechnology, and nano-technology and integratesdisciplines such as genomics and bioinformatics.

The Department of Electrical Engineering ishome to a number of researchers whoparticipate in a broad range of projectsrelated to bioscience and medical systems. Tofoster collaboration among the various groups,the department has supported cross-disciplinary centers, such as the SystemSciences and Engineering Research Centerand the Telecommunications Research Center.These centers have conducted workshops andseminars on the application of systems andcontrols in the biosciences and serve as focalpoints for obtaining cross-disciplinaryinfrastructure grants across ASU.

Graduate students Bin Xu (left) and Liqiang Zhu (right) at work in Dr. Lai's circuit lab.

1010

An example of this cross-disciplinary approach

is the ongoing “Advanced Neural Implants and

Control” project, a collaborative effort spanning

two colleges and three research centers, which

won a three-year, $6.25 million grant from the

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in

2000. Headed by Professor of Bioengineering

Jiping He, an affiliated faculty the Department of

Electrical Engineering, this interdisciplinary

research team includes Frank Hoppensteadt,

Bruce Kim, Ying-Cheng Lai, Jun Shen, and

Jennie Si from electrical engineering as well as

faculty members from computer science,

biology, mathematics, bioengineering, and

chemical and material engineering.

“Our first objective is to develop new implant

technologies that optimize information

transmission across the tissue/device interface,”

the group says. “Our second objective is to

optimize information processing between the

external world and the neural system that is

accessed through the neural interface.”

The group accomplishes

these goals in a number of

ways. “We do signal

processing,” Hoppensteadt

says of his and Lai’s work.

“The goal is to extract signals

in real time that can be used

to drive a function, such as a

prosthetic device.”

“The bioengineers have provided us with neural

recordings from monkey brains, and we are

supposed to make sense out of the data,” says

Lai, an expert in random signal analysis. “So far,

we have developed procedures based on linear

stochastic and nonlinear models to detect the

interactions between neurons from different

regions of the brain in a quantitative way.”

Kim is making unique polymer-based MEMS

electrodes for neural implants, which are

designed to reduce damage when inserted into

the brain. “Since the brain moves, it is a big

challenge to make the electrodes to adapt to the

live brain,” Kim says. “Our challenges are to

make MEMS electrodes that are strong, small,

and water repellent.”

The group has made several polyimide

electrodes and is now trying to build

benzocyclobutene-based electrodes because

they require less curing time than polyimide

electrodes. “We have done an experiment to

make sure that BCB is bio compatible,” Kim

says. “This new electrode structure is useful

for inserting the electrode into the brain

without breaking.”

FEATURE STORY

The researchers believe

that their research will

make a significant impact in

a number of areas,

including advanced

medical technologies

for treating

neurological

injuries and

disease, advanced

biomaterials and

micro-devices, and

neural control strategies

and algorithms. For instance, Shen

is designing and developing MEMS-

based microprobes that can be

manipulated remotely with an external magnetic

field and applied in a number of areas.

Hardware devices that interface with various

biological systems are also being explored

elsewhere in the department. A number of

departmental research centers are involved with

patenting devices that are motivated by bioscience

problems, such as brain structures, metabolic

pathways in cells, and genetic control circuits and

many consult with industries that develop and use

these types of devices.

For instance, in addition to her contributions to the

DARPA project, Si recently completed a

collaborative project with bioengineering that was

funded by the National Institute of Health. The

project, titled “Cortical Control of Neural

Prosthesis,” attempted to use cerebral cortical

activity to generate a control signal that would

move a prosthetic arm quickly, accurately and

gracefully, producing anthromorphic movements

with a minimum of effort from the subjects.

In January 2003, Si will begin

a project for the National

Science Foundation that

attempts to meet the

unique challenges that

space solar-powered

systems present for

designers of sophisticated

and adaptable robotic

systems capable of complex

mission assignments in the

difficult environment of space.

Drawing on computer science,

neurophysiology, psychology, and

bioengineering, Si and bioengineer

Patrick Rousche (University of Illinois,

Chicago) will create an “animal-in-the-loop”

robotic architecture that uses rats equipped with

multi-electrode arrays in the sensory regions of

their brains to replace the traditional sensing

mechanisms of robotic systems. In doing so, Si

and Rousche hope to “better understand exactly

how and why mammals are such good processors

of sensory input and how we might apply their

strategies to robotic systems.”

In a related area, Michael Kozicki, co-founder of

Axon Technologies Corporation, and Trevor

Thornton are researching biochips with potential

applications in such diverse fields as medical

diagnostics, discovery and testing of drugs,

forensics, agriculture, and biological warfare.

These biochips rely on a combination of

microfabrication and bioanalysis techniques, which

reduce operating costs and allow analysis of

smaller samples. In turn, this technology could not

only assist in DNA analysis, but could also provide

fast, cost-effective detection of microbes, disease

cells, and harmful or therapeutic chemicals.

1313

According to Kozicki, biochip technology has

applications in “everything from Homeland

security to food safety.”

The work in the biochip area is partly funded by

the National Science Foundation as well as the

Semiconductor Research Corporation and

involves collaborations with faculty and students

in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and

the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “It

is this multidisciplinary approach that makes the

work fun and exciting,” says Thornton.

Nongjian Tao’s group is integrating biomolecules

into nanostructured devices with an aim at hybrid

bioelectronic devices such as biosensors. The DOE

nanotechnology program is funding one of their

current efforts, which is to detect the molecular

recognition events at a single-molecule level. A

major challenge of the project is to find a practical

method to “wire” individual molecules to the outside

world. In collaboration with Motorola, the research

team has recently developed several techniques to

fabricate nanoelectrodes and nanowires. Using

these nanoelectrodes and nanowires, they are able

to “wire” single molecules into an electronic device,

which allows them to detect both the electronic and

mechanical responses of the molecules triggered

by molecular recognition.

A parallel effort in Tao’s group is to understand the

interfaces between biomolecules and solid surfaces,

which is a basic requirement in the design of hybrid

bioelelectronic devices. In collaboration with Trevor

Thornton, they have been studying the interactions

of proteins with solid surfaces modified with

surfactants and lipid layers, using techniques such

as Surface Plasmon Resonance, Atomic Force

Microscopy and MOSFETs.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES “The Department of Electrical

Engineering's strength and continuing

growth cannot be attributed to one

single factor. I hope that this document

helped you understand some of the

many components that are at work. The

faculty, the staff, and last, but not least, the students, have all

helped build the program to what it is today and, more importantly,

are what will drive it to further success in the future. We must

also not forget the major role played by others in collaboration

with the department, both within the university and in the

engineering community, here in Arizona, the U.S., and internationally.

I look forward to continued growth and recognition of the

department both at home and abroad.
