The Institute for Information Sciences

KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Center for Cyber-Social Dynamics, along with Monash University via the Research Talent Accelerator Fellowship program, are teaming up to host an in-person conference on KU's campus this summer, bringing together a group of both international and US-based university faculty for several days of discussions centered on the state of civility in contemporary politics.

The Radar Systems Laboratory (RSL), one of six centers of research at KU’s Institute for Information Sciences (I2S), received a flurry of awards for the recent work of faculty and current and former students involving multiple radar-related research initiatives. Faculty members Shannon Blunt and Patrick McCormick were recognized for career contributions in the field and one current and one former student received honors for research papers.

Patrick McCormick, assistant professor in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS), was announced the recipient of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society’s (AESS) Fred Nathanson Memorial “Young Radar Engineer” Award for “advancements in waveform design and algorithms for radar and communications spectrum sharing.”
