Dr. Eva N. Wu has recently received the Excellence Award from the school. Dr. Wu, professor of electrical and computer engineering, conducts research in fault diagnosis, prognosis and fault-tolerant control of safety critical systems; command and control supporting systems for air operations; and robust control of low-noise directional acoustic sensors for performance enhancement. Wu earned her PhD from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. She joined Binghamton University in 1988. Wu has authored 27 peer-reviewed publications and 54 refereed conference publication and her work has been cited over 460 times. She has been the principal investigator for 15 funded research projects for agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the National Instititues of Health (NIH) and major corporations such as Lockheed Martin. The first female promoted to the rank of professor in the Watson School, Wu also served as interim department chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research into complex systems that must function despite component and subsystem failure has applications for the military, aerospace systems and life-critical information management systems. Wu is noted for her ability to bridge disciplines within engineering and has published work from those collaboration. She has also served on program committees for technical conferences and as a guest editor of the Proceedings of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium on Fault Detection, Isolation, and Safety of Technical Processes.
Dr.Qiu's research focuses on effective power management techniques that adapt to the changes of the hardware, the application and the working environment. Instead of traditional centralized management techniques, she investigates hierarchical and distributed power management methods that are more suitable for multiprocessor system-on-chip platforms. Her proposal entitled "Adaptive Power Management for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip" recently received 2009 NSF Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The award will support the research with $410,000 for 5 years.
