Science City Showcase Event
On 17th May Newcastle Science City organised a showcase event to
publicise some of
the cutting edge science research being carried out in the
region. EECE School was
represented by the Nick Baker, Glyn Atkinson, and Jamie
Washington of PEDM group.
Over 700 people came through the doors over the course of the
day, including peoplefrom local schools, industry and the public.
The event was covered by Tyne Tees news,
including a short interview with Glynn.
Congratulations to Bing Ji (supervisor Dr. Pickert) who
hasrecently received the Henry Lester scholarship award for his
research studies in the subject areas of prognostic and
health
monitoring of power semiconductor modules. The Henry Lester
Trust grants Chinese students studying in the UK for high
academic achievements.
Young Scientist Award atInternational Union of RadioScience
(URSI), GASS 2011.Congratulations to Dr. RajeshTiwari for receiving
anInternational Union of RadioScience (URSI) 2011 Young
Scientist award. The award
worth about 1000 Euros covers
his expenses to attend the
URSI General Assembly and
Scientific Symposium in
Istanbul, Turkey in August this
year. At this meeting he will
present his Young Scientist
paper entitled WBMod
Assisted PLL GPS Software
Receiver for Mitigating
Scintillation Effects at High
Latitude Region.

DATE 2011 & Async 2011 ConferencesThe MSD group saw its
research excellence
recognized in two premier international
conferences in the last few months. First our
paper Run-Time Deadlock Detection in Networks-
on-Chip Using Coupled Transitive Closure
Networks, by Al-Dujaily, R., Mak, T., Xia, F.,
Yakovlev, A., and Palesi M., presented by Dr
Terrence Mak at the Design, Automation & Test in
Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE11),
Grenoble, March 2011, was elected by the
conference as a Best Paper Prize candidate.
Then at the 17th IEEE International Symposium on Asynchronous
Circuits and Systems
(ASYNC'11), Ithaca, NY, April 2011, two papers from the group
were also chosen as Best Paper
Prize candidates. These are A novel power delivery method for
asynchronous load in energy
harvesting systems, by Zhang, X., Shang, D., Xia, F., Yakovlev,
A., presented by Xuefu Zhang andVariation Tolerant Asynchronous
FPGA, by Low, H.-S., Shang, D., Xia, F., Yakovlev, A.,
presented
by Dr Delong Shang. Both conferences had very high rejection
rates this year, and no more than
15% of all papers presented won these candidate awards.
Professor Alex Yakovlev has spent one month, in
May-June 2011, as a visiting professor at the
Technical University of Vienna (Austria), on the
invitation from Professor Andreas Steininger.
During his stay in Vienna he gave an advanced
course on asynchronous system design to the
local PhD students and took part in research
discussions with the members of the Embedded
Computer Systems group (led by Professors Ulrich
Schmid) on topics of shared research interest,
including FPGAs, GALS, Networks on Chip, fault-
tolerant asynchronous systems. These
interactions are likely to lead to a continued
collaboration between Newcastle and Vienna,
including supervision of PhD students and joint
participation in EU research projects.
Dr Charalampos Tsidenidis and Professor
Bayan Sharif gave a Professional Tutorial
in this years IEEE OCEANS 2011
conference.
The title for the tutorial was "Signal
waveform design for underwater acoustic
communications"
