Computer Science & Engineering Professor Ishfaq Ahmad received the Outstanding Associate Editor Award from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, based on his performance as editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology. The award was presented to Dr. Ahmad, a Fellow of the IEEE, at the 2008 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.
Computer Science & Engineering Professors Vassilis Athitsos and Gautam Das, along with collaborator Professor George Kollios at Boston University, are working to improve and expand subsequence matching capabilities for wider and scientifically productive uses in areas such as stock market modeling, seismic activity analysis and sensor-based health monitoring.

Computer Science & Engineering Drs. Mohan Kumar and Yonghe Liu will recreate virtual scenes of events from the immediate past, thanks to a program they are developing that gathers information from various sensors and devices and combines them to create a virtual observation. They will be collaborating with the Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia.

Social networks such as MySpace and Facebook have become increasingly popular and descriptive. To Computer Science & Engineering’s Dr. Gautam Das, these pervasive websites contain rich sets of properties in their nodes and edges [Nodes are persons; edges are relationships]. His Database Exploration Lab (http://dbxlab.uta.edu/index.htm) has received a $50,000 grant from the Nokia Research Center to bridge the gap between social network analysis and data mining/exploration. This research is aimed at finding techniques and algorithms that will enable analytical decision support and prediction by overcoming the challenges of scale and dimensionality.
Structured hidden databases are widely prevalent on the Internet. Computer Science & Engineering Drs. Gautam Das and Nan Zhang are searching for ways to access hidden information, gathering more comprehensive views of the data to improve search queries.

Ka Yaw Teo, an MAE graduate research assistant and Bioengineering BS/MS fast-track student, took first place in the Student Paper Competition at the 2008 American Society of Mechanical Engineers Summer Bioengineering Conference, the highly-competitive main conference of the Bioengineering Division of ASME. The paper, co-authored with MAE Assistant Professor Bumsoo Han, was titled “Freezing-assisted Intracellular Drug Delivery to Multi-drug Resistant Cancer Cells” and was based on research conducted while Teo was an undergraduate mechanical engineering student.
Collegiate racing teams will gather here July 26 and 27 for the 8th Annual Texas Autocross Weekend, testing their skills in a challenging autocross competition. Approximately 20 cars from 10 universities will be speeding through a twisting path, each driver trying to achieve the lowest time around the course.

Although advances of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine show great promise in laboratory and small-scale tests, the transition to large-scale manufacturing of tissue-engineered products is limited due to the lack of reliable storage methods. Research conducted by Drs. Chuong and Han will make a significant impact on tissue engineering and transplantation surgeries.
