- Dr. Mande Leung: "Dr. Leung formulated several models for the cardiovascular system, and developed corresponding identification methods. She subsequently applied her models and methods to minimally-invasive monitoring of the heart's output in post-surgical infants in the intensive care unit and non-invasive measurement of the arterial pulse wave velocity in children." (November 2011)
- Dr. Yang Wen Liang: "Dr. Liang investigated several beamforming schemes for Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and relaying wireless communication systems. His proposed schemes may find application in several current or upcoming wireless communication standards." (November 2011)
- Dr. Scott Yin Lunn Chin: "Dr. Chin investigated generic microchips, such as those used in smartphones and other electronic devices. His research into the specialized computer software used to program the chips led to the discovery of methods to make that software run faster and more efficiently. His findings will result in cost savings and can benefit the electronics industry." (November 2011)
- Dr. Vahid Shah-Mansouri: "Dr. Shah-Mansouri studied protocol design for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks are communication networks consisting of small and inexpensive wireless devices used for home automation and disaster management. Using mathematical tools like optimization theory, Dr. Shah-Mansouri developed algorithms aiming to prolong the lifetime of such networks." (November 2011)
- Dr. Md. Kawsar Alam: "Dr. Alam conducted a challenging study on a tiny structure called Carbon nanotube. He researched how electron, an elementary particle of matters, interacts with nanotubes and changes its properties. His findings will contribute to the development of advanced electronic devices and better imaging tools for understanding microscopic structures." (November 2011)
