A publication from UT ECE professor Yale Patt and UT ECE students M. Aater Suleman, Onur Mutlu, Jose A. Joao and Khubaib has been selected for the IEEE Micro magazine's Top Picks issue. At the beginning of every year, IEEE Micro magazine publishes some of the most significant research papers in the computer architecture society from the previous year. The selection is based on the publications' novelty and long-term impact, recognizing the papers that have the potential to influence the work of computer architects for years to come.

Alù Wins Air Force Young Investigator Research Award

UT ECE professor Al Bovik, along with Biomedical Engineering professor Mia Markey and PhD student Gautam Muralidhar, are gaining national attention for their work on breastcancer. Their research is focused on catching breast cancer early by modeling potentially cancerous formations in mammogram images.

UT ECE Professor and WNCG member Gustavo de Veciana and collaborators Ángel Cuevas and Manuel Urueña from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid are recipients of the best paper award at the ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems October 2010.

Their work entitled Dynamic Random Replication for Data Centric Storage develops a new energy efficient approach to store and retrieve information in distributed wireless (sensor) networks. This research was funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

UT ECE Ph.D. student Bilal Sadiq and Professor Gustavo de Veciana are recipients of the best paper award at 22nd International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) held in Amsterdam this year. Their work entitled Balancing SRPT Prioritization versus Opportunistic Gain in Wireless Systems with Flow Dynamics addresses a fundamental question regarding the best possible achievable performance for file transfer or web browsing traffic on wireless systems. This research was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Prof. Ranjit Gharpurey has been awarded a research grant from the National Science Foundation in the area of architectures for analog-to-digital conversion. The research is a collaborative effort with Prof. Peter Kinget of Columbia University, with UT as the lead proposal.

Innovations in signal digitization techniques can have a broad societal and scientific impact, since this capability is required in multiple areas including computing, wireless and wireline communications, sensors, medicine, and fundamental science.
