PhD candidate Yuqiang (Ethan) Heng and Prof. Jeff Andrews have received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Global Communications Conference 2022 (Globecom) for their paper "Grid-less mmWave Beam Alignment through Deep Learning." 

Prof. Andrea Alù has been named the 2016 recipient of the Kavli Foundation Early Career Lectureship in Materials Science. The award is given to early career researchers who are within 10 years of having received a Ph.D, and have "already made a significant contribution to materials research and clearly have a promising future." This is the fourth time the award is given. Past recipients were affiliated with Stanford, Caltech and the Harvard MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.

IEEE GLOBECOM is one of two flagship conferences of the IEEE Communications Society, together with IEEE ICC. Each year the conference attracts about 3000 submitted scientific papers. A technical program committee of more than 1,500 experts provides more than 10,000 reviews, and from this a small fraction of the submitted papers are accepted for publication and presentation at the conference. The conference meets once a year in North America and attracts roughly 2000 leading scientists and researchers and industry leaders from all around the world.
