Amir Aslani Wins IEEE Scholarship

SEAS is pleased to announce that Amir Aslani, a rising senior in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has received a research award for the 2007-2008 academic year from the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society of the IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society awards these scholarships to attract undergraduates to the microwave and RF (radio frequency) discipline, and to encourage them to pursue graduate degrees in this field. Amir, who studies electrical engineering, will be conducting research for his senior project on data transfer via RF/microwave link.

This summer, Amir holds a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado. At NIST, he is working on radio frequency research, a topic close to his research award proposal and his interest in graduate studies in RF engineering.
