EECS Professor Erich P. Ippen has been named the 2001-2002 recipient of the James R. Killian, Jr. Faculty Achievement Award. The Killian Award is the highest honor bestowed by the MIT faculty on one of its own members. It was established in 1971 as a tribute to the late Dr. Killian, MIT's 10th president and former chairman of the Corporation, and "...to recognize extraordinary professional accomplishments by full-time members of the MIT faculty." Its recipient traditionally delivers a lecture in the spring term of the award year.
Other Killian Award recipients from the EECS Department include:
Hermann A. Haus (1982 - 1983)
Mildred S. Dresselhaus (1986 - 1987)
Marvin L. Minsky (1989 - 1990)
The Department extends its warmest congratulations to Erich on this well deserved honor.
