Runner-Up Awards at IEEE Rising Stars 2025 Conference

Congratulations to SEAL Lab Associate Zheng Liu, Nicklaus Thompson, Maxwell Mamishev, and Daikun Wu, who were honored with the Runner-Up Award in the Intermediate category at the IEEE Rising Stars 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, held from January 3–5.

Their project presentation and demonstration, titled "Real-Time Fast Fourier Transform Applications in Ionospheric Detection," showcased a groundbreaking approach to signal processing that captured the attention of judges and attendees alike. By harnessing the power of real-time FFT algorithms, their research offers significant potential for improving the accuracy and speed of ionospheric measurements — critical for applications in telecommunications, satellite navigation, and atmospheric science.

This recognition highlights the innovative spirit of the SEAL Lab and reflects the team's commitment to advancing cutting-edge research.
