2021 Award Recipients
Technical Achievement Award
The IEEE TCCPS Technical Achievement Award recognizes significant and sustained contributions to the cyber-physical system (CPS) community through the IEEE Technical Committee on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCCPS). The award is based on the impact of high-quality research made by the awardee throughout the lifetime. It consists of a plaque and a citation.
Giovanni De Micheli, EPFL
"For sustained contributions to smart sensors, wearable and implanted electronics, and cyber-medical systems."
Distinguished Leadership Award
The IEEE TCCPS Distinguished Leadership Award recognizes those individuals who have exhibited exemplary and substantive leadership of an extraordinary nature in implementing activities that support the cyber-physical system (CPS) community at the local, regional, national, and/or international level. The awardee is expected to make a distinguishing contribution to IEEE with “significant performance”. The award is based on volunteering for IEEE and the CPS community, instead of professional achievements. It consists of a plaque and a citation.
Wei Zhao, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology
"For providing extraordinary and significant leadership in support of the cyber-physical system community at the local, regional, national, and international level."
Jie Liu, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen)
"For outstanding technical contributions to sensing systems and distinguished leadership in developing the global cyber-physical systems community.’’
Mid-Career Award
The IEEE TCCPS Mid-Career Award recognizes a mid-career researcher from either academia or industry who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in his/her career development. The award selection committee will particularly emphasize the significance and impacts of the research work led by the nominee. The award consists of a plaque and a citation.
Le Xie, Texas A&M University
‘‘For contributions in modeling, analysis, and optimization of cyber-physical energy systems.’’
Early-Career Award
The IEEE TCCPS Early-Career Award recognizes a junior researcher from either academia or industry who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the early stage of his/her career development. The award selection committee will particularly emphasize the significance and impacts of the research work led by the nominee. The award consists of a plaque and a citation.
Yasser Shoukry, UC Irvine
"For contributions to the theory and design of safe learning-enabled cyber-physical systems."
Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award
