David Schvartzman Cohenca wins the Spiros G. Geotis Prize at the 39th International Conference on Radar Meteorology held in Nara, Japan and organized by the American Meteorological Society
Student Awards
The School of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), within the College of Engineering at OU, is proud to celebrate its excellent students. Several recent award-winning examples are noted below. Within ECE, students regularly engage in a variety of hands-on projects as part of their curriculum with professors who are engaged in cutting edge research.
The Spiros G. Geotis Student Prize is awarded for an outstanding student paper presented at each technical conference on radar meteorology. The paper will be judged on content and presentation by a panel selected by the conference program committee. Entrants must be currently enrolled in high school, college, or graduate school. Students who have completed a degree but have not begun regular employment at the time of the conference are also eligible. The prize, an AMS reference book, $200, plus a certificate, was established to recognize Spiros G. Geotis' lifelong contributions to radar meteorology and the encouragement he gave to so many young researchers.

C. Justin Smith, ECE student, was awarded the Undergraduate/Pre-Graduate Scholarship from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). The purpose of this scholarship is to attract B.S. and M.S. students to the microwave and RF discipline, and to encourage them to pursue a job in the field or a Ph.D. degree in this field. Smith is currently working on high-efficiency power amplifier design for C-Band airborne telemetry supervised by Professor Hjalti H. Sigmarsson.
