 Professor Rob Phillips,
one of the core Bioengineering faculty members is among the first
nine recipients of the Pioneer Award from the National Institutes of
Health.
The Director's Pioneer Award will provide Phillips with $2.5 million
in funding for the next five years as part of the NIH's new "Roadmap
for Medical Research" program. Phillips, an authority
on the nanoscale mechanics of biological systems, says he will use the
funding to enter into novel research areas. NIH Director's Pioneer Award
is designed to support individual scientists and thinkers with highly
innovative ideas and approaches to contemporary challenges in biomedical
research. Caltech

Professor Mory Gharib has been selected for the Pollak Distinguished
Lecturer Award for 2004/2005. The Israel Pollak Distinguished Lecture
Series was established at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology)
in 1996. Two Pollak Lecturers are chosen each year from all areas of
science and engineering. Previous recipients of this honor have included
Sir John Thomas of Cambridge University (England), Professor Juergen
Troe, Director of the Max Planck Institute, Goettingen, Germany, Steven
Weinberg (Nobel Laureate 1979).
 Connections,
Foundations, and Edges: Connecting Theory & Applications Across
Complex Systems, a Celebration to Mark John
Doyle's 50th Birthday,
July (14) 15-16 (17), 2004. This two-day symposium is designed to bring
together experts in mathematics, physics, biology, and networking in
an interactive exchange of ideas on the design, analysis, and control
of complex systems. The symposium was preceded by a one-day tutorial
(Wednesday, July 14), given by Professor Doyle, consisting of his first
attempt to present a new unified theory of complex systems and networks
that builds on and integrates methods from controls, dynamical systems,
information theory, computational complexity, optimization, and statistical
and quantum physics. It was followed by a day of student talks (Saturday,
July 17). Full details may be found on the website.
