New Engineering Faculty at UCLA
Computer Science
Department
Adam
Meyerson - Assistant Professor
Research: Design and analysis of algorithms (particularly
approximations for NP-hard problems), randomized and online algorithms,
game theory, fair allocations of resources
PhD: Stanford University, 2002
Dr. Adam Meyerson’s doctoral thesis was on approximation algorithms
for design of minimum-cost computer networks. He is currently a
postdoctoral fellow of the Center for Algorithmic Adaptation, Dissemination,
and Integration (Aladdin) at Carnegie-Mellon University. He is also
co-organizer of a workshop series on integrated logistics, designed
to bring together researchers from computer science and operations
research to discuss applications for facility location problems
ranging from warehouse placement to database analysis to network
design.
Electrical Engineering Department
Yuanxun
(Ethan) Wang - Assistant Professor
Research: Electromagnetics and microwave technology
PhD: University of Texas, 1999
Dr. Yuanxun Wang’s research focuses on high performance antenna
array and microwave amplifier systems for wireless communication
and radar, and numerical modeling techniques. His current work features
the fusion of signal processing and circuit techniques in microwave
system design.
Prior to his appointment, Wang worked as a research engineer and
lecturer in UCLA’s Electrical Engineering Department. He is
a member of IEEE and SPIE, and has authored and coauthored over
60 refereed journal and conference papers.
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department
Laurent
Pilon - Assistant Professor
Research: Interfacial and transport phenomena,
thermal radiation, materials synthesis
PhD: Purdue University, 2000
Dr. Laurent Pilon’s areas of research include physical and
numerical modeling of interfacial and transport phenomena in multiphase
flow systems and nano- to macro-scale heterogeneous media. He is
particularly interested in physical modeling of mass and photon
transfer and population balance theory.
His experimental work focuses on probing the inner structure of
heterogeneous
materials using photon scattering and developing new synthesis paths
of heterogeneous materials for emerging technologies using thermal
treatments. Potential applications for his work range from energy
conversion systems and energy efficiency to biotechnologies, aerospace,
and microelectronics.
