In addition to our own faculty member,
Prof. Tony Grbic, we also congratulate EECS alumni
Prof. Adrienne
Stiff-Roberts of Duke University, and
Prof. Jack Ma of the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, who received the
Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)
award this year, and last year, respectively. Both Prof. Stiff-Roberts and
Prof. Ma are former students of
Prof. Pallab Bhattacharya.
The PECASE Awards are intended to recognize some of the finest scientists
and engineers who, while early in their research careers, show exceptional
potential for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge during the
twenty-first century. The Awards foster innovative and far-reaching
developments in science and technology, increase awareness of careers in
science and engineering, give recognition to the scientific missions of
participating agencies, enhance connections between fundamental research and
national goals, and highlight the importance of science and technology for
the nation's future.
