Honors and Awards

Greg Strimel

Charles B. Murphy Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching (Mar '23)

Purdue University

To increase a student's design capabilities and help ensure that every student has the opportunity to act, think, and learn like an engineer, Dr. Strimel studies how engineering and technology instructional interventions affect design cognition and performance. To empower the workers of the future, Dr. Strimel promotes problem-solving and other 21st century skills by investigating how to best teach engineering design to P-12 students.

Dominic Kao

ACM CHI Special Recognitions for Outstanding Reviews (Jan '23)

ACM

My research interests are in virtual worlds, games, and education. I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT, a M.S.E. in Computer Science from Princeton University, and a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Alberta. In my research, I am interested in building virtual worlds and leveraging existing ones, primarily towards the goals of understanding how virtual worlds influence people, and developing best practices for developing games and learning environments.

Peng Hao Wang

Best Presentation Award (Jan '23)

South Asia Institute of Science and Engineering

Composite materials consist of two or more materials combined to achieve specific structural properties. To improve aircraft design and maintenance, Dr. Wang innovates composite materials and studies their sustainability for the aircraft maintenance environment. The use of composite materials promises stronger and more fuel efficient aircraft, but can be difficult to repair. Dr. Wang and his team develop composite repair and recycling techniques to improve the sustainability of composite materials.
