We attended the 2019 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE2019) in Anaheim, CA.
Several of the IDEAL members received awards during the conference. Anton van Beek and Siyu Tao, our Ph. D. students, won the Best Paper Award from the Design Automation Conference (DAC). This is the fourth time our work has been recognized by DAC.
Best Paper Award from DAC
Prof. Wei Chen received the Robert Abbott Award from the ASME Design Engineering Division for her service on behalf of the Division and the Society. She was also part of the Design Automation Conference Keynote panel for “New Perspectives on Leadership in Engineering Design”.
Prof. Zhenghui Sha of the University of Arkansas, an IDEAL alumni, was awarded the Best Paper Award from the CIE Conference with his students.
As always, we had an illuminating and productive time at IDETC, and reunited with a lot of friends and alumni.
