We are excited to announce that a number of our students have been selected as finalists in both the Best Student Paper and Student Design competitions at the 2011 IEEE APS/URSI International Research Symposium. Andrew Baczewski and Andrew Pray have been selected for their contributions to the Student Paper Competition, and Andrew Temme, Don VanderLaan, and Steve Zajac have had their proposal for a table top antenna pattern measurement system accepted for the Student Design Competition. All 5 will be presenting their contributions in Spokane, WA in July. Best of luck!
