Dr. Osama Awadelkarim, Professor in Engineering Science and Mechanics travels in late November to Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. While Dr. Awadelkarim is in Egypt, he will give an invited talk and presentation in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) meeting in Cairo. Dr. Awadelkarim will then travel to the United Arab Emirates, he’ll be attending a meeting for the Arab Science and Technology Foundation in Alsharjah.

Dr. Steven Schiff, Brush Chair Professor in Engineering Science and Mechanics and Director for the Center of Neural Engineering, has recently been named Fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Council. Each year, the Council elects members whose “efforts on behalf of the advancement of science or its applications are scientifically or socially distinguished.” ESM Congratulates Professor Steven Schiff for this honor.

Madineh Sedigh-Sarvestani, graduate student in Engineering Science and Mechanics and member of the Center for Neural Engineering, traveled in November to Washington, DC to attend the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. While at the meeting she presented a poster entitled “Likelihood of sleep-wake states before seizure onset in rodent.” The Society of Neuroscience annual meeting is the largest gathering of the neuroscience community, hosting up to 34,000 researchers each year.

On October 1, 2011, Jay Patten, gradaute student council president, led a group of outgoing ESM graduate students, Asheesh Lanba, Brian Reinhardt, Brian Kiraly, and Steve Koytek, up Mount Monadnock located Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Mount Monadnock is 3,165 ft in elevation and known as the most hiked mountain in the United States. Having grew up near Mount Monadnock, Jay Patten was eager to reveal what southwestern New Hampshire has to offer to his friends. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't to their advantage but regardless of the rain and fog they still had a great weekend. The group plans to return to New Hampshire to hike the Presidential Range located in the White Mountains during the summer of 2012.

Dr. Tony Huang, Associate Professor in Engineering Science and Mechanics, has received the 2012 Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' (SME) International Awards and Recognition Committee. The SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award is conferred in recognition of his significant achievements and leadership in the field of manufacturing engineering as a young engineer. Congratulations Dr. Huang!
