University of Minnesota Computer Science and Engineering associate professor Stergios Roumeliotis has been selected to receive a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) award. The PECASE is a highly selective honor bestowed upon young faculty in science and engineering.
The National Science Foundation selects about 20 candidates nationwide each year in the entire field of science and engineering. There have been around 30 NSF PECASE awardees in computer science and engineering since the program started in 1996.
Roumeliotis specializes in inertial navigation of aerial and ground autonomous vehicles, fault detection and identification, and sensor networks. His research has focused on distributed estimation under communication and processing constraints and active sensing for reconfigurable networks of mobile sensors.
Roumeliotis is the third faculty member in Computer Science and Engineering to be awarded a PECASE. Victoria Interrante and William Schuler were also PECASE recipients.
