David Brooks *01 wins ACM award
Princeton is on a bit of a winning streak when it comes to ACM’s annual Maurice Wilkes Award for contributions to computer architecture in the first 20 years of someone’s career.
This year it went to David M. Brooks, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science in the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, who earned […]
National Geographic recently featured “100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World.” Among them is a research breakthrough in regenerative medicine by Princeton engineering alumnus Cato Laurencin.
Laurencin’s work may drastically improve patients’ ability to recover from tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), one of the most common knee injuries.
Laurencin, who is […]
Last week J. Alex Halderman co-presented a paper explaining how he and a team of graduate students tested the Washington D.C. school board’s electronic absentee ballot system by hacking into it, flooding it with votes for the hard-drinking cartoon character known as Bender from the TV show Futurama and embedding the system with an […]
Yesterday the Baltimore Sun profiled Vorbeck Materials, a company started by Princeton Engineering alumnus John Lettow.
Last week the Department of Energy announced that it had selected Vorbeck as one of three startup companies for the title of America’s Next Top Energy Innovator. U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu recognized Vorbeck […]
Hisashi Kobayashi is the coauthor of a forthcoming book from Cambridge University Press on the fundamentals of probability and random processes.
Princeton Engineering Dean H. Vincent Poor calls it “a one-stop, unified treatment that gives the reader an understanding of the models, methodologies and underlying principles behind many of the most important statistical […]
The Department of Energy has just announced that Vorbeck Materials — one of the hottest companies out there exploiting the seemingly limitless possibilities of graphene, the Earth’s strongest substance — has been nominated for the honor of “America’s Next Top Energy Innovator.”
Vorbeck was started by John Lettow, who graduated from […]
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awarded Robert Stengel its 2012 Pendray Aerospace Literature Award at an awards ceremony during the 50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting this month in Nashville.
