The fall semester has begun, and though many of our students have been keeping busy over the summer with continued research here at the University of Texas at Austin, some WNCGers like Monica Ribero are returning from summer internships with WNCG Affiliates and other prominent tech companies. Ribero spent the summer in Holmdel, New Jersey, working at Bell Laboratories. During her internship she conducted research with Dr. Dmitry Chizhik and Dr. Reinaldo Valenzuela at Bell Labs’ Access Lab for a project called "Machine Learning for Site-Specific Propagation Models.”

WNCG Prof. Robert W. Heath, Jr. recently received the 2017 IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications for his work entitled “Spatially Sparse Precoding in Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems,” published in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications in March 2014. The IEEE Guglielmo Marconi Best Paper Award is an annual award for an original paper in the field of Wireless Communications published in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. Only papers published within the last three calendar years are eligible for this award. 

It's no secret that WNCG produces stellar industry and academic professionals. Here's where WNCG students and alumni are headed this summer for internships and employment: Ahmed Alkhateeb - Samsung, Richardson, TX Andrew Kerns - Radiosense, Austin, TX Deepjyoti Deka - Los Alamos National Lab, Los Alamos, NM Deepti Ghadiyaram - Microsoft Research, Seattle, WA Derya Malak - Huawei, Plano, TX Dohyung Park - Facebook, Seattle, WA Dylan Anderson - Sandia National Labs, Albuquerque, NM Ghadi Sebaali - Freescale, Austin, TX Jeonghun Park - Intel, Santa Clara, CA
