COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. A more than 22-year veteran of the faculty at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs was recently recognized for his contributions to the field of computer engineering.<\/p>\n
Carlos Araujo, professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the 2006 Daniel E. Noble Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. The award recognizes Araujo’s work in the area of ferroelectric random access memory, a critical infrastructure for the development of cell phones and other computer-related technologies.<\/p>\n
The award is named in honor of Daniel E. Noble, executive vice chairman of the board for Motorola, and recognizes outstanding contributions to emerging technologies within recent years. Awarded annually since 2001, previous winners have included researchers at two Japanese universities and researchers at Texas Instruments and International Business Machines. Araujo is the first American university professor to receive the award.<\/p>\n
“Awards such as this do not come everyday nor do they result from a single activity,” Jeremy Haefner, dean, College of Engineering, said. “They are a result of years of work and inspiration.”<\/p>\n
Araujo joined the UCCS faculty in 1983 as an assistant professor. He was named associate professor in 1988 and professor in 1991. He has served as assistant dean of research and was named a CU outstanding faculty member. He also co-founded Colorado Springs-based Symetrix Corporation in addition to co-founding the scholarly journal “Journal of Integrated Ferroelectrics.” <\/p>\n
He holds bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees from the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Ind.<\/p>\n
