From Guided Sampling to Learned Solvers: Diffusion Models for Inverse Problems
Dr. Santiago Segarra
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University
is speaking on January 23, 2026.
Congratulations to NC State ECE Ph.D. student Yifan Wu on winning the Best Presentation Award at the 2025 Animal-Computer Interaction International Conference.
Wu’s research uses wearable sensors and machine learning to help veterinarians better detect pain in dogs with early osteoarthritis — and to support more effective guide dog training.
His work bridges animal health and artificial intelligence, giving technology a new role in understanding and improving animal well-being.

North Carolina State University and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering recognize the life and legacy of former North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt Jr., a proud NC State alumnus who passed away at the age of 88.
Governor Hunt championed public education and helped position North Carolina as a leader in technology and innovation. His belief in collaboration between universities, industry and government helped shape NC State’s role in research and economic development.
One of his most lasting contributions to NC State was his support for the creation of Centennial Campus. Designed as a place where academic research and industry partners work side by side, Centennial Campus continues to advance engineering, technology and workforce development across the state.
His legacy lives on through NC State’s land grant mission and the work of the Electrical and Computer Engineering community.

Ishita Pai Raikar has shaped her NC State experience through curiosity, discipline and a commitment to community. Her work spans human-robot interaction, ethics, entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary leadership programs that challenged her to think across systems. Through research in embodied AI and involvement in programs such as GCSP, SIF and Women in ECE, she gained a deeper understanding of how engineering affects people and the world around them.
As she graduates this fall, Ishita reflects the breadth of opportunity available in ECE and the impact students can make when they explore new ideas and engage fully with the NC State community. Learn more about her path and the experiences that guided her.
