One undergraduate EE student (Rachel Leong) and one graduate EE student (Chi-Hua Chang) have been recipients of the 2024 Armstrong Memorial Research Foundation (AMRF) awards for excellence in high GPA achievement. Professor Jayant P. Parekh, who is also Vice President of the AMRF, handed out an award certificate and a check for $1000 to each of the awardees following a presentation on the achievements and genius of Edwin Howard Armstrong (1890-1954). The award ceremony coincided with the university graduation ceremony held on May 17, 2024. Attending the ceremony were the awardees, graduating students and accompanying family members and friends, and participating faculty. Breakfast and refreshments were served at the event. The AMRF awards are an annual event at two universities, Columbia University and Stony Brook University, which are on the Board of Directors of the AMRF and are recipients of funding for the awards from the AMRF. The Awards are given in honor of Major Armstrong, the inventor of FM radio, who ranks among the greatest scientists of all time. |
