Dr. Christine Julien and the Mobile and Pervasive Computing Group, along with collaborators, are working on redefining search based on locality though Personalized Networked Spaces. “In the future you might want to search very new information from the physical environment,” says Jonas Michel, a researcher working on the Gander project. “Your information needs are very localized to that place and event and moment.”
The University of Texas at Austin Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (UT ECE), a top-ranked department, provides a unique opportunity and a supportive environment for academic/industry partnership through our Senior Design Projects. This capstone coursework provides academic excellence as well as key corporate benefits as teams focus on solving open-ended problems submitted by industrial collaborators.
UT ECE professor Jeff Andrews has been elevated to IEEE Fellow, effective January 1, 2013. Jeff was elevated to Fellow for his contributions to cellular and ad-hoc wireless communications.

UT ECE graduate students Bei Yu, Jhih-Rong Gao, and their advisor Prof. David Z. Pan won the 2nd Place Award at the ICCAD'12 CAD Contest in Fuzzy Pattern Matching for Physical Verification. There are over 60 teams around the world participated in the ICCAD'12 CAD Contest, which has three distinct contest problems. This fuzzy patterning matching problem and benchmarks are provided by Mentor Graphics, a leading EDA company, to advance the state-of-the-art of IC design for manufacturing (DFM).
UT ECE professor J.K. Aggarwal recently gave a distinguished lecture at the University of Notre Dame as part of their King-Sun Fu Prize Winner Lecture Series. The King-Sn Fu Prize is given every other year by the International Association for Pattern Recognition in recognition of outstanding technical contributions to the field of pattern recognition. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame recently hosted a series of lectures by winners of the King-Sun Fu Prize. Dr. Aggarwal was awarded the K.S.
UT ECE professor Robert Heath has been selected as distinguished lecturer of the IEEE signal processing society for 2013-2014. The distinguished lecturer title is viewed as an award within the IEEE signal processing society. It is conferred by its awards board. Each year, the board selects five individuals as distinguished lecturers.
