Prof. Seth Bank Receives NSF CAREER Award

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.

Bovik, Wang and Sheikh Receive Best Paper Award for 2009 from IEEE Signal Processing Society

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.
