Every year, University of Illinois faculty submit scholarly or creative proposals for consideration by the Center for Advanced Study's (CAS) permanent professors. This year, three ECE ILLINOIS faculty members were appointed as CAS Associates and one ECE ILLINOIS professor was named as a CAS Beckman Fellow. They are each granted one semester to pursue their respective projects.
Professor Elyse Rosenbaum's winning proposal is titled "Machine Learning Models for Reliability Analysis." Rosenbaum is the Melvin and Anne Louise Hassebrock Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering and is affiliated with the CSL. She is a director of the Center for Advanced Electronics through Machine Learning (CAEML). She received her PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992 and has been at Illinois since then.
Professor Lynford L Goddard was appointed as a CAS Associate for his proposal "Multi-depth Atomic Layer Etching of Silicon using Photo-Electro-Thermo-Chemistry." Goddard is affiliated with both the Beckman Institute and MNTL. He received his PhD in Physics along with a minor in Math from Stanford University in 2005 and has been at Illinois since 2007.
