Armand Ahadi-Sarkari has just won the gold medal (first place) in the ACM SIGBED Student Research Competition (SRC) in the undergraduate category.

The award was just announced this morning at the CPS-IoT week. CPS-IoT Week is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things Research. It brings together five top conferences, HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, RTAS and IoTDI, multiple workshops, tutorials, competitions, and various exhibitions from both industry and academia. Altogether the CPS Week program covers a multitude of complementary aspects of CPS and reunites the leading researchers in this dynamic field.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 ACM SIGBED Student Research Competition!
