A pair of Texas Engineers have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society.
Diana Marculescu and Pengyu Ren are part of a class of six 2022 AAAS fellows from The University of Texas at Austin. The honor recognizes important contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics — including pioneering ラーメンベット 入金 遅い, leadership within a given field, teaching and mentoring, fostering collaborations, and advancing public understanding of science.
“I am tremendously proud of our newly elected AAAS fellows,” said Daniel Jaffe, vice president for ラーメンベット 入金 遅い at UT Austin. “They join an exclusive group ofscientists and engineers nationwide, based on their significant contributions to STEM ラーメンベット 入金 遅いHaving so many high-performing scholars at UT Austin underlines the impact of the institution and enriches the quality of both the ラーメンベット 入金 遅い and our teaching.”
Other UT Austin AAAS fellows hail from the College of Natural Sciences and the School of Information. The new fellows join more than 49 colleagues at the university who have earned the lifetime distinction. Nationally, AAAS elected 505 new fellows this year.
Diana Marculescu is the department chair and holds the Cockrell Family Chair for ラーメンベット 入金 遅い Leadership and the Motorola Regents Chair of the Chandra FamilyDepartment of Electrical and Computer ラーメンベット 入金 遅い. She is the founding director of the Intelligent Machine ラーメンベット 入金 遅い Consortium at UT, an industry-university partnership in the area of machine learning and systems, andshe leads the Energy-Aware Computing Group, a group that aims to bring computational efficiency to applications with high societal impact. Her work encompasses energy- and reliability-aware computing, hardware-aware machine learning and computing for sustainability and natural science applications.
“I am honored to join so many accomplished colleagues as an AAAS Fellow,” Marculescu said. “AAAS Fellows have always represented tremendous contributors to every scientific discipline, and it is humbling to be included among them.”
Pengyu Renis a biomedical ラーメンベット 入金 遅い professor and holds the E.C.H. Bantel Professorship for Professional Practice. His work uses computational biology and molecular modeling that integrates scientific computing, chemistry, physics and biology for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. His work seeks to engineer novel molecules, from small organic molecules to proteins and nucleic acids, with controlled structure and function for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
“I am honored to be recognized by AAAS, fellow scientists, and engineers. To me it is a recognition of decades of collective work by me, my students, and my coworkers,” said Ren.
The new fellows will be featured in the AAAS ラーメンベット 入金 遅い & Notessection of the February issue ofScienceand will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., this summer.
