PhD student, Zheng Guo, published his paper, "Impacts of channel fluctuations on least-squares channel estimation in underwater acoustic communication" in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America in June. The paper can be accessed at https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/10.0005087.
Congratulations to Zheng!

Dr. Song, along with Dr. Xiaoyan Hong and Dr. Lina Pu, organized the ROV summer camp on July 13-15 at the University of Alabama. Fifteen (15) students participated in the camp from the local schools. Our graduate students, Connor Webb, Aswanth Sampathkumar, Shuai Dong, Long Li, served the mentors for the middle/high school students. The summer camp was not possible without the efforts from these four graduate students.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – During the past academic year, four professors at The University of Alabama received national recognition early in their careers for leading-edge research that will advance knowledge and enhance the educational experience. The National Science Foundation selected the four professors for a CAREER Award, one of the nation’s most prestigious recognitions of top-performing young scientists. The grants allow each researcher to train and motivate a new generation of scientists and engineers not only at UA through instruction and hands-on lab work, but also through outreach efforts to schools and the community. “National recognition for the University’s early-career researchers is an external validation of the quality of our faculty,” said Dr. Russell J. Mumper, vice president for research and economic development. “The research supported by these grants improves the educational experience for our students and brings forward-thinking solutions to some of society’s toughest challenges. The University of Alabama congratulates these faculty members for this prestigious award.” An NSF CAREER Award will fund projects by Dr. Chris Crawford, assistant professor of computer science; Dr. Adam Hauser, assistant professor of physics and astronomy; Dr. Jason Pienaar, assistant professor of biological sciences; and Dr. Aijun Song, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. For the NSF CCRI project, we just launched a new website: mu-Net: Shared infrastructure for mobile underwater networks, https://aquatictech.org/.
We will populate the website with details in coming weeks. Last Friday (April 23), we held the 2021 MATHCOUNTS Tuscaloosa Chapter Award ceremony at the University of Alabama, Capital Hall. We used this in-person gathering to celebrate achievements of our young students. We recognize the efforts of our math coaches to organize math teams and participate in the MATHCOUNTS competitions. We thank the strong support from the Division of Community Affairs and Center of Community-based Program (CCBP) at the University of Alabama. We thank Tuscaloosa City School Superintendent’s Office for full support, recruiting schools and promoting the competitions. Please visit MATHCOUNTS Tuscaloosa, mathcounts.ua.edu, for more information.
Qiang Fu passed proposal defense on April 9 for his PhD. That was a milestone step toward his graduation. Congratulations!
Dr. Song has received with the NSF CAREER award, for his project, "CAREER: Mobile Underwater Communication Networks Supported by Autonomous Surface Vehicles," 2021-2025. The NSF CAREER award is “National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.”
UA Professors to Study Underwater Robotics Wireless Communications Two University of Alabama professors have been selected by the National Science Foundation to lead a $1.5 million effort from its CISE Community Research Infrastructure program. Dr. Aijun Song, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Dr. Xiaoyan Hong, associate professor of computer science, have been awarded $880,000 by the NSF for their project, “CCRI: mu-Net: Infrastructure to Advance Mobile Underwater Wireless Networking Research.” Working with their colleagues from several other universities, they plan to develop a community-shared infrastructure that will enable underwater research robots to exchange information more easily.
