On August 27, 2020, Ma Hanzhi, PhD student from ISEE ZJU and the joint college of Zhejiang University and University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, won the international highest award for graduate students in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, the IEEE EMC Society President's Memorial Award. The IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society is the world's largest organization dedicated to the development and distribution of information, tools and techniques for reducing electromagnetic interference. The society's field of interest includes standards, measurement techniques and test procedures, instrumentation, equipment and systems characteristics, interference control techniques and components, education, computational analysis, and spectrum management, along with scientific, technical, industrial, professional or other activities that contribute to this field.
The IEEE EMC society president's Memorial Award is for one or two outstanding graduate students in worldwide each year, in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, commemorating the outstanding and deceased president of the Institute. This year, only one person was awarded the award. This is the very first time that graduate students from Chinese mainland have won this prize.
Ma Hanzhi is a PhD student of grade 2017 in ISEE of Zhejiang University and ZJUI Joint College. The tutor is Professor Li Erping (IEEE fellow), who is the president of ZJUI Joint College, and Professor Andreas Cangellaris (IEEE life fellow), the Dean and vice president of UIUC. Her research interests mainly include electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity intelligent analysis algorithm, brain like chip signal integrity analysis and design. In the first three years of her doctorate, she has published 9 SCI journals and EI international conference papers as the first author, and 8 papers as co-author. She has participated in international conferences in the United States, Singapore and China and gave oral presentations seven times. She was nominated as the best student paper shortlist (top 5 and top 10) in the field of signal integrity at IEEE EMC / SIPI conferences in 2020 and 2017. She is a member and chairman of the IEEE Nemo 2020 Technical Committee, the president of the EMC COMPO 2019 section, and a review of multiple international conference.
