This summer, Dr. Ramesh Yerraballi of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin (UT ECE) led a group of sixteen first-year students on a study-abroad program to Hyderabad, India.

UT ECE professor Joydeep Ghosh has received two research awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF) totalling more than $1 Million focusing on topics in complex data modeling in the healthcare field.

UT ECE faculty Prof. Lizy John and Prof. Charles Roth have co-authored a book with Byeong Kil Lee of the University of Texas, San Antonio called "Digital Systems Design Using Verilog." 

UT ECE students Joyce Ho and Yubin Park were runners-up at the national coding competition Code-a-Palooza held during Health Datapalooza 2014. Health Datapalooza is a national conference focused on "liberating health data, and bringing together the companies, startups, academics, government agencies, and individuals with the newest and most innovative and effective uses of health data to improve patient outcomes."
