Dr. Song Wang has receveive a DARPA research award for his project "Robust and Principled Visual Intelligence".

Dr. Srihari Nelakuditi has received a research award from NSF entitled "NeTS: Small: Collaborative: PHY-Informed Networking (PHY-IN): Rethinking Wireless Protocol Design with the Knowledge of PHY."

The new entry, "Virtual USC," is taking shape at the College of Engineering and Computing to provide an insider's virtual tour of the Carolina Horseshoe.

"This is going to be very cool," said Duncan Buell, the professor of computer science who guided a group of 10 undergraduate students involved in the software application's development during the spring semester.

Buell is aiming for a prototype smart phone tour of the Horseshoe in which users can click on Gamecock icons embedded in a campus map to reveal historic and contemporary interior pictures of several buildings.
