Keqin Liu is one of the finalists in the Student Paper Contest for the paper "Distributed Learning under Imperfect Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks," coauthored with Q. Zhao and B. Krishnamachari at the IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, Nov. 2011.

Wei Ren won the 2010 Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad Award from the Chinese Government. The awardees are selected from Chinese Ph.D. students over the globe with majors ranging from humanity, science, to engineering.

For her research project ``Distributed Learning for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Decision Theoretic Approach,'' Angela Yeung was selected as one of the 40 finalists in the 2010 Intel Science Talent Search, the oldest and most prestigious precollege science competition in U.S.. Finalists will gather in Washington, D.C. in March 2010 to meet with national leaders, interact with leading scientists, and display their research at the National Academy of Sciences.

Keqin Liu received the 2009 Summer Graduate Student Researcher Award. This UCD campus award is for graduate students in engineering, computer science, and disciplines
with engineering-related applications and methods.

Angela Yeung, a junior student at Davis Senior High School and a member of our group since June 2008, won the first place at the 2009 Sacramento Regional Science and Engineering Fair for her project Sharing Spectrum the Smart Way (supervised by Professor Qing Zhao). Angela also received several special awards including Professional Engineers in California Government, Ramesh Innovation Award, and US Air Force Award. She then advanced to the 2009 California State Science Fair and won the first place in the Mathematics and Software category.

Yunxia Chen won the first place in the Student Paper Contest for the paper "Joint Design and Separation Principle for Opportunistic Spectrum Access," coauthored with Q. Zhao, A. Swami at the IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, Oct. 2006.

Yunxia Chen won Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad Award from the Chinese Government. The awardees are selected from Chinese Ph.D. students over the globe with majors ranging from humanity, science, to engineering.
