C. Sidney Burrus named recipient of 2009 IEEE Jack S. Kilby Medal

When folks at Rice reach for their cell phones, more than a few know whom to thank.

Groundbreaking research by C. Sidney Burrus, dean emeritus of the George R. Brown School of Engineering and the Maxfield and Oshman Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering, helped make them -- and so much more -- possible.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) knows too and will recognize Burrus' accomplishments when it awards him the 2009 Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal June 25 at its annual honors ceremony in Los Angeles.

Professor Koushanfar named to MIT Technology Review's TR35

Rice University's Farinaz Koushanfar, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, has been named to MIT Technology Review magazine's coveted 2008 list of the world's 35 Top Young Innovators. Koushanfar was recognized for developing new techniques that microchip designers can use to fight hardware piracy, a growing problem that's already believed to cost chipmakers several billion dollars per year.

Professors Baraniuk and Massoud awarded DARPA grant

Professor Richard Baraniuk and Professor Yehia Massoud have been awarded a grant totaling $4 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Rice again picked for TI's Leadership University Program

Texas Instruments (TI) has once again chosen Rice University as one of its primary academic partners for research into digital signal processing (DSP). An inaugural member of TI's Leadership University program, Rice's DSP researchers have won a new three-year $1 million grant under the program.

Connexions wins $2M from Hewlett Foundation

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has awarded $2 million to Rice's open-education program, Connexions. The two-year grant -- the fifth from the foundation to Connexions since 2002 -- will allow Connexions to develop a new generation of easy-to-use authoring software and to establish a user consortium to fund the program's future growth.
