SELECTED FACULTY HONORS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Bradley Fidler (CAL), is the recipient of the David and GG Farber Junior Faculty Fellowship in Science and Technology Studies. Established by Stevens Trustee Emeritus Dr. David Farber and his late wife, Gloria, the fellowship recognizes and supports CAL faculty who study and raise public awareness about the social impacts of scientific and technological development.
Negar Tavassolian, Electrical and Computer Engineering (SES), was selected to participate in the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps, (I-Corps) program for the New York region. She will receive $250,000 per year over five years.
Carlo Lipizzi (SSE) has been named director of the Center for Complex Systems & Enterprises (CCSE).
Yue Ning, Computer Science (SES), has received a National Science Foundation CAREER award for her project project, "Towards Deep Interpretable Predictions for Multi-Scope Temporal Events," which explores improved artificial intelligence-powered methods for predicting events such as hospital visits, flu outbreaks and mass protests. This is the fifth CAREER award granted to Stevens researchers this year. The prestigious CAREER award is given to promising early-career investigators, typically for five years of ongoing research.
Kishore Pochiraju, Mechanical Engineering (SES), was elected by American Society for Composites as one of its 2021 Fellows.
Alexander De Rosa, Mechanical Engineering (SES), was appointed the Chair of the Middle-Atlantic Section of the American Society for Engineering Education.
Lindsey Cormack (CAL) and student Kirsten Midelinger, a computer science major, are the authors of research published in the prominent political journal Congress & the Presidency. They investigated how differently situated legislators discussed the coronavirus outbreak in their official communications.
Paul Grogan (SSE) has been named one of two recipients of the International Council on Systems Engineering’s (INCOSE’s) 2020 Systems Engineering Journal Reviewer of the Year Award.
Hady Salloum, Electrical and Computer Engineering (SES) and director of the Maritime Security Center and the STAR Center, received a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) basic ordering agreement of $6 million for his continued projects related to sensors and maritime security. He was also appointed by the secretary of DHS to the National Maritime Security Advisory Committee.
Abhishek Sharma, Chemistry and Chemical Biology (SES), received a $1.55 million Maximize Investigator’s Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institutes of Health for his project, “Novel Acylborons and Alpha-hydroxy Borons to Enable Modular, Regio- and Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules and Protein Conjugates.”
