Comments on: EE Wins the Nobel Prize for Physics http://windowsil.org/2009/10/07/ee-wins-the-nobel-prize-for-physics/ Your window into the Wireless Systems Innovation Laboratory Sun, 27 May 2012 13:12:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Robert Heath http://windowsil.org/2009/10/07/ee-wins-the-nobel-prize-for-physics/#comment-60463 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:00:15 +0000 http://windowsil.org/2009/10/07/ee-wins-the-nobel-prize-for-physics/#comment-60463 This is really great news! It kind of offsets some of the other Nobel decisions this year. I'm glad to see an EE get this award. Compared with the sciences and mathematics, I think we as engineers have very few high visibility awards. Actually I can't think of any awards for engineers that someone, say outside of IEEE, would even know. This is also well deserved because the recipient, as you point out, founded the EE department in CUHK, which is by now quite well known. This is really great news!
