WEMPEC Shoutouts Congratulations to our staff for the following awards:
|
| Congratulations to Giri Venkataramanan for Winning the Ragnar E. Onstad Service to Society Award! This year’s recipient is Giri Venkataramanan, the Keith and Jane Morgan Nosbusch Professor in electrical and computer engineering. “Giri truly works at the intersection of engineering and the human experience. As a scholar, he is a pioneering and exceptionally accomplished researcher whose published works are among the most seminal in his field. If you asked him, Giri would focus on the value and joy that this work has brought to others. He is the kind of educator and mentor whose students—many of them now faculty members at major institutions—continue to embrace and amplify the core values they learned in Giri’s group.” – Ian Robertson, Dean of the College of Engineering |
