Professor Sujay Sanghavi, who joined the UT ECE department in Fall 2009, has received an NSF CAREER Award. Dr. Sanghavi's research on Networks and Statistical Inference: New Connections and Algorithms was recognized by the National Science Foundation this month and takes first steps towards a more universal science for network algorithms.
The President’s meeting with the PECASE winners showcased this Administration’s recognition that America’s global leadership in science and technology is not automatic, but depends on constantly cultivating new generations of ambitious and dedicated explorers in the sciences and engineering. And of course that national nourishing of curiosity starts even earlier than that, in the way we teach children about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
ECE Student Erik Eyberg has been named the 2009-2010 recipient of the President's Leadership Award.
The President’s Leadership Awards were created in 1985 with an endowment from past Texas Exes president Frank Denius. These awards recognize students in each undergraduate classification level who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within the student community at The University of Texas. One freshman, one sophomore, two juniors and two seniors receive the award annually, and are recognized at the Student Leadership Awards in April. Nominations open in September.
Prof. Jeffrey Andrews, along with his former PhD student Vikram Chandrasekhar (now at Texas Instruments) and postdoc Marios Kountouris (now on the faculty at the Supelec, Paris), have won the Best Paper award in Communication Theory at IEEE Globecom, the IEEE Communication Society's annual flagship conference.
The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science held its 2009 Awards Dinner on Nov. 6. Alumni and students are recognized annually for their distinguished achievements. Faculty are honored for their work in teaching.

Dimitris Kaseridis, Jeff Stuecheli and Lizy John from the Laboratory for Computer Architecture (LCA) won the Best Paper Award at the 38th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP), 2009, for their paper entitled “Bank-aware Dynamic Cache Partitioning for Multicore Architectures”. This conference was held in Vienna, Austria in September 2009.
Professors Seth Bank and Mikhail Belkin were announced among the winners of the Air Force's Young Investigator Research Program, receiving almost $1.2 million in grants. The program awards approximately $14.6 million in grants to 38 scientists and engineers who submitted winning research proposals. Over 200 proposals were submitted this year.
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series ofconferences designed to bring the research and career interests ofwomen in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in theirrespective fields, representing industrial, academic and governmentcommunities. Leading researchers present their current work, whilespecial sessions focus on the role of women in today's technologyfields, including computer science, information technology, researchand engineering. Dr. Miryung Kim and six UT ECE students attended theconference to represent UT ECE and meet women in computing.
