Congratulations to Assistant Professor Zhiyong (Jason) Ren of Civil Engineering and Assistant Professor Mark Golkowski of Electrical Engineering for receiving the college’s annual Chang Junior Faculty Research Award.

The Chang Junior Faculty Research Award was established by Civil Engineering Professor Nien-Yin Chang and his wife, Mae Chang. The Chang’s hope is to encourage junior faculty toward achievement and success during the early stages of their careers, particularly in research productivity in terms of competitive national research funding and first-rate articles in refereed journals.

This award is open to all junior engineering faculty who are assistant professors on tenure track with proven research achievement in an academic year.  Awardees must have major research funding from national funding agencies.

Again, congratulations!
