Students receive best paper award

Elias Mizan, an electrical and computer engineering graduate student, and Tileli Amimeur, an electrical and computer engineering undergraduate student, received the 2007 Best Paper Award at the 19th International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing. Their co-authored paper discussed a new technique that allows computational circuits in microprocessors to produce more reliable results, effectively reducing the rate of errors. Their research was guided by the late Margarida Jacome, an electrical and computer engineering professor.
