EECS grad studentNeil Zhenqiang Gong, whose advisor is Prof.Dawn Song, had a published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA titled &8220;Evolution of patterns on Conus shells&8221;. Determining the evolution of pigmentation patterns on mollusk seashells&8212;which could aid in the understanding of ancient nervous systems&8212;has proved to be a challenging feat for researchers. Now, through mathematical equations and simulations, U. of Pittsburgh and U C Berkeley researchers have used 19 different species of the predatory sea snail Conus to generate a model of the pigmentation patterns of mollusk shells. Equations and a neural model for the formation of the pigmentation patterns on shell suces were developed. With the equations in hand, Zhenquiang Gong, used a computer to simulate the patterns on the shells, hand fitting the parameters to create a basic model for the patterns of a given species.

Pieter Abbeelhas been selected as a winner of the theAir Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Research Program (YIP)award. The AFOSR YIP supports scientists and engineers who have received Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in the last five years and show exceptional ability and promise for conducting basic research. The objective of this program is to foster creative basic research in science and engineering; enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators; and increase opportunities for the young investigator to recognize the Air Force mission and related challenges in science and engineering.
EE alumniCharles Shank, Ph.D. &8216;69 andSehat Sutardja, Ph.D. &8217;88 have been named theEE Distinguished Alumni Awardwinners for 2012. Charles Shank retired from UC after serving as a culty member in three departments: Physics, Chemistry, and EECS. He was also the Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab from 1989 to 2004. During his tenure, he oversaw tremendous scientific growth and achievement, expanding programs in astrophysics, computing, genomics, and nanoscience. Sehat Sutardja is currently the CEO, chairman and co-founder of the Marvell Technology Group, a bless semiconductor company. He holds more than 150 patents and in 2006 was recognized as the Inventor of the Year by the Silicon Valley Intellectual Property Law Association.
