Professor Piket-May does research in the area of higher order finite difference time domain analysis. A novel component of her work is developing a GUI interface to make it more accessible and developing GPU CUDA codes to make it run in a reasonable time. She is also involved in high speed signal and power integrity. Professor Piket-May also has done extensive research into low cost assistive technology devices (mechanical and electrical). The research is available open source. She is also involved in K-12 STEM Education, undergraduate Engineering Education and Engineering Design.

Fall 2019
First-year students solve real engineering design problems in interdisciplinary teams. Design projects vary by section. Curriculum focuses on iterative design process, teamwork and team dynamics, supporting design with testing and analysis, and technical writing. Completed projects are exhibited at an end-of-semester design expo. Students responsible for contributing towards their design project budget and poster costs, and purchasing safety glasses (approximately $75).
