Two CEE faculty members received 2022 Research Awards from Georgia Tech’s chapter of Sigma Xi, a national scientific honor society. Associate Professor Samuel Coogan earned a Young Faculty Award, which recognizes young teaching faculty who lead improvements in research methods and programs at Georgia Tech, as evidenced by publications and program development results. Jianfeng Zhou, an assistant professor at Georgia Tech’s Shenzen campus, won the Best Ph.D. Thesis Award for his research as a Ph.D. student.
