Professor Chih-Chun Wang was awarded an NSF Career Award for his proposal: Next Generation Network Coding: Distributed Design Via Coded Feedback. This award is in the amount of $150,000+.

The honor is the highest-level award bestowed by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The organization recognized Delp for his "technical contributions to the areas of multimedia security and image and video coding." The Society Award honors outstanding technical contributions in a field within the scope of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and outstanding leadership in that field.

Professor Mark Lundstrom, the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, whose research is in the area of semiconductor device physics, change carrier transport, computational electronics, physics and limits of nanotransistors, was elected “for leadership in microelectronics and nanoelectronics through research, innovative education, and unique applications of cyberinfrastructure.”
