PhD Alumni Awards

• Kyungtae Han won the 2012 Intel Achievement Award "For Developing the Converged Platform Power Management Framework". This is highest technical award at Intel. At the awards ceremony in San Francisco on May 5th, Dr. Han will officially receive the award from Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini.
• Greg Allen won the 2011 UT Austin Applied Research Laboratories Excellence Award "for outstanding research recognized by his fellow employees". Dr. Allen has been working at the UT Austin Applied Research Laboratories on a full-time basis since 1991. He completed his MS ECE and PhD ECE degrees on a part-time basis.
• Niranjan Damera-Venkata (HP Research Labs) received two awards for his development of a super-resolution projection system using lower-cost less-capable projectors:
  • Best Paper award at the 2007 Projector-Camera Systems Workshop
  • PC Magazine's list of "five ideas that will re-invent modern computing".
• Vishal Monga (Pennsylvania State University) received the following award for his work in perceptual image hashing and document image processing when we worked at Xerox Research Labs:
  • 2008 Rochester Engineering Society Young Engineer of the Year Award.
  The Rochester Engineering Society, founded in 1897, involves all engineering disciplines.
• Clint Slatton (University of Florida) won two awards for his proposal to combine physics-based models of signal propagation with pattern recognition for terrain mapping by airborne laser scanners:
  • 2007 Army Young Investigator Award
  • 2007 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
  To be eligible for PECASE, the researcher must first win a young investigator award from the US government. PECASE "is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers". Clint Slatton received tenure and promotion to Associate Professor at The University of Florida effective fall 2009. Sadly, Clint Slatton died on March 30, 2010, from cancer.
