We are thrilled to welcome Warren Weeks as the newest member of CURF's Board of Directors!

A South Carolina native and serial entrepreneur, Warren recently retired as the Vice President of Strategy & Product Marketing of the Materials business unit of Wolfspeed, Inc. (formally known as Cree). Prior to joining Wolfspeed, Warren worked in various leadership roles at Hubbell Lighting, the Compound Group, Nitronex Corporation and Intrinsic Semiconductor. He was also an associate research professor and senior research scientist at the University of South Carolina responsible for building their Photonics and Microelectronics Lab.

At Clemson University, Warren also serves on the external advisory boards for the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson (ECE) and Clemson University Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). He holds a Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering from Clemson and a Master of Science degree from NC State in MSE.

Warren is a co-inventor on 45 issued U.S. patents and dozens of international patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. He has co-authored numerous scientific, peer-reviewed articles related to compound semiconductors.

Please help us congratulate Clemson University computer engineering Ph.D. candidate Iwinosa Aideyan, also known as Winnie!

She was one of 200 young researchers selected to participate in the Heidelberg Laureates Forum in Germany.

The forum brought together outstanding young researchers in mathematics and computer science with some of the world’s most accomplished scientists, including recipients of the Turing Award, Fields Medal and Abel Prize.

While in Heidelberg, Winnie had the opportunity to meet and learn from leading figures in computing, including Turing Award winners Leslie Lamport (pictured below with Winnie) and Jeffrey Ullman.

Congratulations, Winnie!

A new Clemson University research project launches today with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The team will be working to develop safeguards against AI-generated content that is alarmingly easy to create and spread, yet can be detrimental to young people's mental health.

The interdisciplinary team includes: Linke Guo, Long Cheng, Heather Hensman Kettrey and Matthew Costello, all of Clemson. Also collaborating is Ming Li from the The University of Texas at Arlington.

Lan Zhang, assistant professor in the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson, has received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help AI-powered devices communicate more efficiently over wireless networks.

Instead of treating every piece of data equally, her research helps AI systems prioritize the most important information so teams of drones, robots, vehicles and sensors can collaborate more effectively.

“Imagine a crowded room where everyone is talking at once,” Zhang said. “The goal isn’t for everyone to speak more loudly. It’s to make sure the people with the most important information are heard first. We’re bringing that same idea to AI systems so they can use limited wireless resources much more intelligently.”

New equipment can help make the electric grid stronger and more reliable, but utilities need to know it can operate safely before putting it into service. That means meeting standards and, in many cases, going through certification.

Clemson University’s Duke Energy eGRID can help by allowing new equipment and technologies to be tested under real-world conditions without putting the actual grid at risk.
