Three electrical engineering and computer science faculty earn NSF CAREER Awards

Three faculty members from the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the Penn State College of Engineering have been awarded Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The 2020 recipients from the School of EECS are Shengxi Huang, assistant professor of electrical engineering and biomedical engineering; Mehdi Kiani, the Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering; and Danfeng Zhang, assistant professor of computer science and engineering. 

This award is given “in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or difference between computer science and computer engineering” according to the NSF’s website.

“The fact that three of our faculty received CAREER Awards demonstrates the high quality of the new faculty that we have hired,” said Tom La Porta, director of the School of EECS, Evan Pugh Professor and William E. Leonhard Endowed Chair. “This award, and their high levels of success so far, will allow the school to keep excelling in world class research and continue to grow our research efforts.”
