Hu will be presented with this honor at the IEEE SSCS Conference to be held January 31-February 4, 2016 in San Francisco, California.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis award is the highest honor for Ph.D. students from the IEEE SSCS, and Hu is the first Georgia Tech student to receive this honor since this awards program was established in 1983.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHu is a fourth year Ph.D. student in Tech\u2019s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is a member of the Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-System Lab (GEMS), which is led by Hua Wang, the Demetrius T. Paris Junior Professor in ECE. Thus far, Hu has authored or co-authored 22 peer reviewed conference and journal publications and one book chapter, all in the area of integrated circuits and systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe IEEE SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Award is based on Hu\u2019s research on \u201cMixed-Signal Power Amplifier Architecture with Self-Contained In-Situ Linearization and Efficiency Enhancement.\u201d This work\u0026nbsp;focuses on innovating advanced RF\u0026nbsp;transmitter architectures for high-speed wireless\u0026nbsp;data transmission and power-adaptive, energy-efficient wireless\u0026nbsp;power transfer. Powerful digital computation capabilities in nanoscale CMOS\u0026nbsp;processes are leveraged for in-situ linearity and back-off efficiency enhancement.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECompared with conventional RF transmitters, these digital intensive architectures are particularly useful for\u0026nbsp;full system-on-chip integration of next-generation, energy-efficient mobile devices or field-deployable wireless networks that can be used\u0026nbsp;for\u0026nbsp;both military and\u0026nbsp;commercial\u0026nbsp;applications, such as reconfigurable radars with digital beam-forming\u0026nbsp;and wireless handsets for\u0026nbsp;ultra-high\u0026nbsp;speed, fifth-generation communication.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp; Song Hu has been named the recipient of the 2015-2016 Predoctoral Achievement Award from the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student  Song Hu has been named the recipient of the 2015-2016 Predoctoral Achievement Award from the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2015-12-16 11:09:33","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:20:16","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-12-16T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-12-16T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"383471":{"id":"383471","type":"image","title":"Song Hu","body":null,"created":"1449246246","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:24:06","changed":"1475894395","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:39:55","alt":"Song Hu","file":{"fid":"75337","name":"photo_songhu.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/photo_songhu.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/photo_songhu.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1057999,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/photo_songhu.jpg?itok=MR-4m2r6"}}},"media_ids":["383471"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/hua-wang","title":"Hua Wang"},{"url":"http:\/\/www2.ece.gatech.edu\/research\/labs\/gems\/","title":"Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-System Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/sscs.ieee.org\/","title":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"85861","name":"Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-System Lab"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"67901","name":"Hua Wang"},{"id":"171546","name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"170827","name":"Song Hu"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"},{"id":"39481","name":"National Security"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
