Congratulations to electrical and computer engineering professors Bradley Hauer and Christopher Wilson, who have been awarded $2.7M through the NSERC Alliance – Quantum grant for their project Next-generation technology to access new regimes of quantum sensing.

Congratulations to electrical and computer engineering PhD students, Zhixuan Tang, Shisheng Hu, and postdoctoral fellow, Conghao Zhou. Together, under the supervision of Professor Sherman Shen, they have won the Best Innovative Concept Project at the IEEE Workshop “Leaders of Tomorrow” hosted by the IEEE Toronto Section for their work “Reconfiguration-Cost-Efficient Virtual Network Embedding in Satellite Networks.”

Congratulations to electrical and computer engineering PhD students, Mingcheng He and Shisheng Hu. Both students, under the supervision of Professor Sherman Shen, have won prizes at the IEEE ComSoc Four Minute Thesis (4MT) competition held at the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 2024 in Denver, Colorado in June. ICC is one of two IEEE ComSoc's flagship conferences.

Congratulations to former PhD students, Mushu Li, Nan Cheng, Jie Gao, Yinlu Wang, and Lian Zhao, and Professor Sherman Shen for winning the IEEE Best Land Transportation Paper Award for their paper: “Energy-Efficient UAV-Assisted Mobile Edge Computing: Resource Allocation and Trajectory Optimization,” IEEE Trans Veh. Techn., Vol. 69, No. 3, pp. 3424-3438, February 2020.

Electrical and computer engineering professor, Kankar Bhattacharya has been selected as the 2024 recipient of the esteemed IEEE Canada P.D. Ziogas Electric Power Silver Medal Award. His important contributions to the field of Electrical Power Engineering have distinguished him as an outstanding Canadian Engineer. The award will be presented to Professor Bhattacharya at an awards gala in August as part of IEEE’s flagship conference, the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE 2024) in Kingston, Ontario.
