Exploration Systems Autonomy - Recent Awards  Dr. Daniel S. Katz 2003 NASA Space Act Award Recipient Daniel S. Katz, in collaboration with colleagues Andrea Borgioli, Paul Springer,Tom Cwik, Vahraz Jamnejad and William Imbriale, have won a 2003 NASA Space Act Award for their work on the MOD Tool û Microwave and Millimeter-wave Optic Design Tool. 
Dr. Greg Lyzenga2003 NASA Space Act Award Recipient Greg Lyzenga, in collaboration with colleague Jay Parker, have won a 2003 NASA Space Act Award for their work on GeoFEST - Geophysical Finite Element Simulation Tool. 
Dr. Brad Clement, Dr. Tony Barrett, Rus Knight and Gregg Rabideau 2003 NASA Space Act Award Recipients Brad Clement, Tony Barrett, Rus Knight and Gregg Rabideau have won a 2003 NASA Space Act Award for their work on Abstract Reasoning for Multiple Rover Coordination. 
Dr. Hwang Lee2003 AKPA Outstanding Young Researcher Award Dr. Hwang Lee, currently a senior member of our Quantum Computing Technologies (QCT) Group, won the prestigous Association of Korean Physicists in America (AKPA), Outstanding Young Researcher Award (OYRA) for 2003. The award was for his work in our QCT group at JPL in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information processing. Dr. Lee's work being recognized was supported primarily during his tenure here as a National Research Council fellow, with Code Y funding provided by NASA HQ from the office of Dr. John Labrecque. He was also partially supported with NASA Intelligent Systems, Revolutionary Computing Technologies funding, under a program managed by Benny Toomarian. 
Dr. Jonathan Dowling 2002 Willis E. Lamb Medal for achievement in Quantum Optics and Laser Sciences The particular citation is for his work in "quantum enhancement of spatial resolution" (quantum lithography). The Willis Lamb Medal, named after the 1955 Nobel Laureate and quantum physics pioneer, is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of quantum optics and laser science. Past winners include former Ali Javan, for the invention of the helium-neon laser; Melvin Lax for his fundamental work on the quantum theory of the laser; Fredrico Capasso, for his work on the quantum cascade laser, and Herbert Walther, of the Max Planck Institute in Quantum Optics, in Germany, for his work on single-atom masers. 
Dr. Christoph Adami 2002 NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal Chris received this honor for his research in extending the concept of fitness in the theory of evolution to high mutation rates (ôsurvival of the flattestö), and demonstrating its universality with experiments on digital, rather than terrestrial, organisms. This medal is a prestigious NASA award that is presented to a number of carefully selected individuals and teams who have distinguished themselves by making outstanding contributions to the NASA mission. 
Dr. Anna Tavormina2002 JPL Recipient of the Women at Work Medal of Excellence Women at Work is a non-profit organization based in Pasadena that serves the greater Los Angeles community. The primary focus of this organization is to provide a resource for women to learn about new or alternate career opportunities, and to help women advance their careers. Each year, the Women at Work organization holds an award banquet where a woman from each contributing company is honored with a Medal of Excellence. The JPL Director's Advisory Council for Women (ACW) coordinates the nomination and the final selection of the winner from JPL. Out of the sixteen women nominated for this award, Ann's nomination was endorsed unanimously by the selection committee. 
Dr. Dmitry Strekalov2002 Lew Allen Award for Excellence This award recognizes and encourages significant individual accomplishments or leadership in scientific research or technological innovation by JPL employees during the early years of their professional careers. Dmitry has established a significant new area of research at JPL: experimental quantum imaging and metrology. He built the new JPL quantum internet testbed from the ground up. Bringing the new testbed online is an important milestone in development of quantum computing initiative at JPL, which has been of interest to both the NASA and the DoD. Through Dmitry's initiative, this testbed is now one of world-class capability, and will have a significant impact on experimental efforts in researching quantum technologies theory (one of JPL's current strategic thrusts for technology development).
