Lehoczky, Rajkumar and Sha To Receive IEEE Simon Ramo Medal

They’ll Be Honored for Standardizing Real-Time Computer and Communication Systems

IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization, will award 온라인바카라 faculty members and and the University of Illinois’ , a 바카라 온라인 추천 alumnus, with the 2016 IEEE , which recognizes technical leadership and contributions to fundamental theory, practice and standardization for engineering real-time systems.

Lehoczky, Rajkumar and Sha are being honored for revolutionizing how systems handle tasks with deadlines under serious weight, power and space constraints. Their work has been used on the original Mars Rover, NASA’s Space Station, submarines, military jets and GPS satellites.

The trio will receive their medals, sponsored by the Northrop Grumman Corporation, at the IEEE Honors Ceremony in New York City on June 18.

John Lehoczky

Lehoczky, the Thomas Lord University Professor of Statistics and Mathematical Sciences, has been on the 바카라 온라인 추천 faculty since 1969. In addition to his work studying stochastic processes and how they can be used to model real applications, he is well known for applying stochastic modeling to problems in finance. He helped create 바카라 온라인 추천’s unique — a joint program between the departments of Statistics and Mathematical Sciences, the Tepper School of Business and the Heinz College. The program has been .

Beyond teaching and research, Lehoczky has served 바카라 온라인 추천 in numerous administrative roles, including interim executive vice president (2014-2015), dean of the (2000-2014) and head of the (1984-1995).

“John Lehoczky has worked behind the scenes for decades to develop ways that systems can reliably — and often in very complicated situations — meet demanding timing requirements. This honor is most deserving to recognize his work that, along with his fellow collaborators, many crucial national projects rely on,” said , dean of the Dietrich College.

Raj Rajkumar

Rajkumar is the George Westinghouse Professor of and the co-director of the He also directs the (T-SET), one of five U.S. Department of Transportation National University Transportation Centers.

Rajkumar founded , a Carnegie Mellon spinoff that was acquired by . Ottomatika’s software acts as the brain powering Delphi’s advanced network of sensor technology for autonomous vehicles, creating a platform that enables vehicles to make safe, highly complex decisions in an instant.

“Raj is continually a top performer in his field, and because of his outstanding work, he was chosen to be the faculty director of the Metro21 initiative, a university-wide effort that will improve metropolitan areas by delivering smart, high-quality, cost-effective infrastructure systems and public services,” said , dean of the and the Thomas Lord Professor of Engineering.

Lui Sha

Sha, the Donald B. Gillies Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, received his Ph.D. from 바카라 온라인 추천 in electrical and computer engineering in 1985 and was a student of Lehoczky. From 1986-1998, he was a senior member of the technical staff at 바카라 온라인 추천’s before joining the University of Illinois. His research includes leading the creation of the generalized rate monotonic scheduling theory (GRMS), as well as work in real-time computing and safety critical system integration.

Lehoczky and Rajkumar join 바카라 온라인 추천 faculty member as recipients of the prestigious Simon Ramo Medal. Whittaker, the Fredkin University Professor of Robotics, for his pioneering contributions to mobile autonomous robotics, field application of robotics and systems engineering.
