Young Scientist Award at International Union of Radio Science (URSI), GASS 2011. Congratulations to Dr. Rajesh Tiwari for receiving an International Union of Radio Science (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.

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 people from 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 has recently 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.

EECE School News will be published in April, July and November. Copy deadline for next issue is 25 November 2011.

DATE 2011 & Async 2011 Conferences
The 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 Networkson-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 and Variation 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, faulttolerant 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.
