Alumni Awards
AEESP Founders’ Award
|
 Les
Grady, Bowen professor emeritus of environmental engineering
and science, has received the Founders’ Award from the
Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors.
One of the most prestigious awards given to members of the
environmental engineering community, the Founders’ Award
recognizes sustained and outstanding contributions to environmental
engineering education. Grady has had a distinguished academic
career extending over thirty-three years, and he is recognized
internationally in the area of biological wastewater treatment.
Interestingly, Clemson faculty have received the award three
times. Iowa State and the University of Illinois follow with
two winners, and all other institutions have only one honoree.

IEEE recognizes Pursley
|
The
IEEE Communications Society has given it’s Edwin Howard
Armstrong Achievement award to Michael Pursley, Holcombe professor
of electrical and computer engineering. Pursley was recognized
for “seminal contributions to spread-spectrum communications
and adaptive protocols for mobile wireless communication networks.”
His research is in the general area of communications and information
theory, with emphasis on spread-spectrum communications, communication
over fading channels, applications of error-control coding,
protocols for packet radio networks, and mobile communications
systems and networks. |
Powe Recipient
|
Assistant
professor Andrew Metters, chemical engineering, was selected
to receive the 2003 Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement
Award from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities. These awards
recognize early career development. Metters’ primary research
emphasis is engineered biomaterials that are capable of directing
cell shape, behavior, and assembly into functional tissues. |
Danbury Award honors Melloy
|
The
2003 D. W. Danbury Award has been given to Brian Melloy, associate
professor of industrial engineering. Melloy, the Honors Coordinator
for industrial engineering, was recognized for excellence in
service to the Calhoun Honors College. The Bradbury Award was
established by a gift from the Class of 1940. |
Research efforts recognized
Two professors in the College of Engineering and Science have been
recognized for their research efforts over the past academic year.
