Chenxi "Henry" Chu
2019 College of Engineering Outstanding Student

Chenxi "Henry" Chu is the 2019 College of Engineering Outstanding Student. This honor is not only based on Henry's academic performance but it is a culmination of Henry's character, professionalism, integrity, and drive for excellence.

Henry came to the United States from China as a freshman.  As a junior, he took Professor Dorr's EE330 Microelectronics class, which the Matlab/SPICE project that semester was the analysis of a multistage guitar amplifier. Henry expressed he wanted to get some practical experience by building and testing the amplifier in the lab. Henry and his team worked in the Senior Design lab, learning and applying the practical skills needed to create a working prototype from a schematic diagram. When they were done, with the help of an excellent guitar-playing student, they demonstrated their amplifier to the class.  Throughout the years Henry was often seen working in the Senior Design lab on other projects.

The year before Henry graduated, he again had an opportunity to work with Professor Dorr.  That same year, for his English class, Henry was asked to interview a working engineer and prepare a report so he interviewed Professor Dorr.  Henry interviewed Professor Dorr at length and when the interview was over, Professor Dorr asked Henry if he could get a copy of the completed report.  In the words of Professor Dorr, "I was impressed by his understanding and interpretation of what he had heard. I was also pleased that this young man, who does so well in classes and builds projects to challenge himself, also had a parallel ability to observe the world around him, listen to others, and articulate his observations.  The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the College of Engineering have chosen to honor a student who not only has an excellent academic record, but is also a soulful young man who will, no doubt, use his academic gifts to move technology and his other equally-important gifts to help mankind."

Congratulations Henry! We wish you all the very best this world has to offer you and every success in whatever endeavor you choose to embark on.

2019 BigData Hackathon Winners!

On March 9 and 16, 2019, SDSU hosted the BigData Hackathon here on campus in Peterson Gym 153.  The BigData Hackathon is a free event open to both students and community members from all disciplines.  The idea of the hackathon is to bring these people together to work in teams to solve real problems here in San Diego.

We are proud to announce, the first-place winners in the "Aging Independently" category of this year's hackathon were our own students from both the Computer and Electrical Engineering programs, team F.A.M.E - Find And Manage Elderly.  F.A.M.E received a prize award of $500 sponsored by SDSU ZIP Launchpad.  Their project was to predict daily activities of an Alzheimer patient using a machine learning algorithm.  This algorithm sends a text message to the patient about their next activity in order to remind them of the daily things they need to be doing.  F.A.M.E's team members were Omar Aljedani (undergrad-EE), Kinjal Gala (grad-EE), Gurami Keretchashvili (undergrad-CompE), Nika Nizharadze (undergrad-CompE), and Saipriyati Singh (grad-EE). 

Congratulations to the F.A.M.E team!!
