Education
Awards
- The 2011 UW EE Outstanding Research Award.
The award is presented annually to recognize an individual (a research scientist, a postdoctoral fellow, or a graduate student) who demonstrated an outstanding contribution to research in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington.
- The 2010 IEEE/IFIP William C. Carter Award.
The William C. Carter Award has been presented annually since 1997 to recognize an individual who has made a significant contribution to the field of dependable computing through his or her graduate dissertation research. The award is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing (TC-FTC) and the IFIP Working Group on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance (WG 10.4).
