GEDC Student Wins Best Paper Award at IEEE Antennas & Propagation Meeting

Honolulu – Amin Rida and Li Yang -- both doctoral students working at the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) -- have won the best paper award at the 2007 IEEE Antennas & Propagation Society (APS) Symposium held here recently.

Rida and Yang, advised by Prof. Manos Tentzeris, are the first Georgia Institute of Technology entrants to win the best paper award from the IEEE APS Society. Their paper was chosen from a total of 1,900 papers. GEDC submitted 14 papers to the APS symposium.

The IEEE APS symposium was held in Hawaii June 10-15, 2007.

At the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 2007, which was held in Honolulu prior to the APS conference, Rida was also honored for winning a 2006 MTT undergraduate fellowship.

The Antennas & Propagation symposium draws scientists and engineers from around the world. It focuses on experimental and theoretical advances in antennas including design and development, and on propagation of electromagnetic waves including scattering, diffraction and interaction with continuous media. It is also centers on applications pertinent to antennas and propagation, such as remote sensing, applied optics, and millimeter- and submillimeter-wave techniques.
