Texas ECE PhD students Jiaqi Gu, Zheng Zhao, Chenghao Feng, and Mingjie Liu, along with professors David Z. Pan and Ray Chen received the Best Paper Award at the 25th ACM/IEEE Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2020) for their paper "Towards Area-Efficient Optical Neural Networks: An FFT-based Architecture."

Christine was selected based on her "demonstrated excellence in teaching innovation and excellence in K-16 instruction."

Texas ECE student Zheng Zhao has been selected to receive the Cadence Women in Tech Scholarship. Cadence created the scholarships as part of their strategy to increase and support diversity in tech fields. Students are selected based on a strong academic record, exemplifying leadership, and demonstrating a passion for technology.

The award is the most prestigious offered by NSF’s CAREER Program, providing up to five years of funding to junior faculty members who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of their organizations’ missions.

Will Burg, a PhD student in Texas ECE supervised by Dr. Emanuel Tutuc, has been able to demonstrate that by stacking two different semiconducting layers, with a precisely controlled zero-degree twist angle between the layers, a two-dimensional laser can be realized.

Diana Marculescu has been named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an honor awarded to less than 1% of ACM’s membership, for her contributions to the design and optimization of energy-aware computing systems.

Jeff Andrews, Alan Bovik, and Robert Heath, professors at Texas ECE, have been recognized as Highly Cited Researchers for 2019. 

Prof. Jeffrey Andrews of Texas ECE has been named the recipient of the 2019 Wireless Communications Technical Committee Recognition Award from the IEEE Communication Society.

The award is given annually to a “person with a high degree of visibility and contribution in the field of “Wireless and Mobile Communications Theory, Systems, and Networks.” Prof. Andrews will receive the award next month at the upcoming IEEE Global Communications Conference in Hawaii.
