Yingying Fan, a fifth year Ph.D. candidate in electrical and computer engineering (ECE), has received the Nettie S. Autrey Fellowship.
Fan works in ECE assistant professor Taiyun Chi’s Rice Integrated Systems and Electromagnetics (RISE) Lab, which focuses on integrated circuits and systems design for high-speed wireless communication, sensing, imaging, and health care. Her research focuses on developing biology-electronics hybrid systems.
The Nettie S. Autrey Fellowship is given to an outstanding graduate student in a field of science in either Engineering or Natural Sciences. The $14,000 award supports continued graduate studies.
