In recognition of their exceptional contributions to their respective fields, four professors from EPFL's School of Engineering have been awarded prestigious honors by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE Awards Program and Best Paper awards are renowned for their acknowledgment of technical professionals who have made a significant impact on technology and society.<\/p>\n
Professor Adrian Ionescu, head of the Nanoelectronic Devices Laboratory (Nanolab<\/a>), has been honored with the 2024 IEEE Cledo Brunetti Award<\/a> for his groundbreaking work in nanotechnology and technologies for microsystem miniaturization. Ionescu was awarded for his \u201cleadership and contributions to the field of energy-efficient steep slope devices and technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n Professor Andras Kis, head of the Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES<\/a>), has been granted the 2024 IEEE Lotfi A. Zadeh Award for Emerging Technologies<\/a>. This accolade celebrates Kis's for his \u201cpioneering work and breakthroughs on 2D materials and electronic devices.\u201d His significant contributions to emerging technologies in recent years have propelled him to the forefront of his field.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Professor Mahsa Shoaran, head of the Integrated Neurotechnologies Laboratory (INL<\/a>), and Professor St\u00e9phanie Lacour, head of the Laboratory for Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces (LSBI<\/a>), have jointly received the prestigious 2022 Best Brain Paper <\/a>(IEEE and SSCS) award. Their winning paper<\/a> describes a highly scalable and versatile closed-loop neuromodulation system-on-chip (SoC) capable of treating various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Through innovative circuit design techniques and hardware-algorithm co-optimization, Shoaran and Lacour achieved remarkable advancements in channel count, area, and energy efficiency, marking a significant step forward in the field.<\/p>\n The IEEE Awards Program, which has been honoring professionals for nearly a century, recognizes individuals who have made lasting impacts on technology, society, and the engineering profession. The distinguished awards bestowed upon EPFL Professors Ionescu, Kis, Shoaran, and Lacour underscore their outstanding contributions to their respective disciplines and highlight EPFL's commitment to excellence in research and innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1122,"template":"","project":[],"faculty":[32],"public":[27,28,30,25,29,26],"themes":[41],"news-category":[23],"class_list":["post-1121","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-sti","public-collaborators","public-industries-partners","public-media","public-prospective-students","public-public","public-students","themes-engineering","news-category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=1121"},{"taxonomy":"faculty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty?post=1121"},{"taxonomy":"public","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/public?post=1121"},{"taxonomy":"themes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/themes?post=1121"},{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neuro-x.epfl.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=1121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
